I would let the place you ordered it from know!

 

[ZHiTcH41]

They are the ones that called me about it.

 

[Scottyhorse]

Wow that's horrible! I'm so sorry. I hope he will be okay. If he is KIA, make sure you get a free replacement.

 

[CharlieKlein]

Hope for the best!

 

[ZHiTcH41]

Yeah I really didn't get a listen to what the person on the phone said cause I was so mad and sad. But I will get another puffer free but they better pay shipping too.

 

[abrinn23]

Any idea on when you get him?

 

[ZHiTcH41]

Not till Monday but it will most likely be dead :/
But I'll get a new one no charge. I'm upset that it will be dead cause it's from the Nile. And it died in a dumb box. Might as well left in Africa.

 

[abrinn23]

Dang that really sucks! Poor guy. And you have to wait even longer

 

[Scottyhorse]

Aww. Hope it comes alive!!!

 

[ZHiTcH41]

Might be a small chance. If the temp is just right it cold put it in a dormant state. But I'm over it.

I have tank updates coming in a bit

 

[ZHiTcH41]

I'm not sure if you guys can see this, but I have added jungle Val between rocks and around the drift wood.


I also added an amazon sword in. Can't wait for it to grow in thick.





Since I wasn't able to get my puffer today, I needed to spend some money to easy my mind.
So I bought 11 tiger barbs. I think that they would be a great addition to this aggressive puffer tank.



I'm gonna try breeding my own crayfish for puffer food. So I added this 20gall or more under my stand. I have to added some PVC pipes in there, but I like where it's going.



Here is a full picture of the tank right now.
I plan on changing the T8 light to T5 sometime.



And here is a picture of my 55gallon planted tank. The plants are pearling right now. Just wanted to throw it in. No Co2 added.

Looks great! I was just about to ask if you were going to breed your own crays, smart decision. Also I hope those tiger barbs hold up once you get the puffer in there haha

I think they will. They are so fast. But if they don't owell not like they are really expensive. If he catches them he deserves them lol.

 

[abrinn23]

Are there any other tank mates your going to try?

I might try otocinclus they will hang out on the log and plants. They might survive

 

[abrinn23]

I was actually about to suggest that haha

 

[ZHiTcH41]

Under the tank is the crayfish breeding tank for now. Gonna move them to a 60gallon. Depends on how they do.


But here they are having fun in their mini Hotel rooms. My rate charge is their life. Pretty cheap.

 

[abrinn23]

Haha that's so awesome. Hope they're cooperative and breed like they are suppose to

 

[ZHiTcH41]

I got the puffer and he is alive!!! I'm acclimating him now!!!

 

[CharlieKlein]

Pics soon! How lucky!! Wish my wish would stay alive
