I have 12 DP in a 200L tank they seem to be ok with each other.when they turned up there was a glow light tetra in with them I think he was in the tank in the shop with them as they all seem to accept him and don't attack him! Likewise I think the glow light thinks its a DP! They live happily...

It's a 4'w x 2"h x 18"d I have tried to encourage the puffers to spread out throughout the tank space with planting and plenty hiding places.

l128

A dwarf puffer.

Not sure what he is definitely a synodontis looks a bit like a cuckoo.

Synodontis nigroventis

My planted tank.

It a cuckoo syno a syno nigroventis 5 khuli loaches and 12 dwarf puffers. There's also a blue phantom L128 and 4 Corys which I am getting rid of at weekend. the puffers,which are a quarter the size, have took a dislike to them and already killed two :(

Hahaha thanks! :P

I am on my bloody iPhone and it only shows the first word and half of title so it was pot luck which I posted in I will try find it now as I am new to forums/chat rooms. Thanks again for help it has given me somewhere to start as I didn't want to just add one out the blue and shock the system as...

Thanks u have been a great help.

Ok yeah I have seen these on eBay before coupled with a ph monitor?

Thankyou everyone you have helped me understand where it is I need to be focusing my research on this subject,namely learning more about KH. I also think I need to acquire the relevant tests for KH and co2 before I invest. Thanks again!

I suspected this as it is dying at an outstanding rate! I only bought to encourage the puffers into the upper waters to split them up more. I won't be buying again.

I am starting to get this now. I will have to get a water hardness test before I consider as I haven't a clue it is soft water where I live but I have rocks so this will affect it.

It just has a Arcadia light unit with plant growing fluorescent strip light in the lid. I have another light unit would it be worth while adding another kind? I have seen more fancy lighting units with 2 different tubes in. Noted about black background I am getting round to getting backing but...

So am I safe to say if I add one it should only be on when the light is on and it will more than likely lower my ph. How can I raise my ph without use of chemicals as I have always tried to keep additives to a minimum.

This is how it looks

It is a 4 ft 200l tank It has been running for 8 years has a aqua one 1250 which cycles 1450L p/h. It is quite heavily planted as I have catfish/synodontis(2) khulie loach(5) and dwarf puffers(12)

An anyone offer me advice on whether adding a compressed co2 system is worth while. Also could someone offer advice on how it would affect my parameters ph etc.
