Hi everyone,
This is my first venture into the tropical world and would like some advice. My tank isn't huge, not too sure what the volume is but I will put a picture on for you to gauge whether it is suitable for this type of fish and how many it can accommodate.
I really like the look of Dwarf Puffer's but don't know too much about them. Is it best to keep females (I don't want to breed), I like the look of them with the bigger bellies!
What temp do they like?
Is there a certain amount that need to be grouped together?
Can they be mixed with other fish?
Is sand ok to use instead of gravel?
What plants are good for them?
What do they eat?
Also, I am in the process of buying the relevant equipment so am not rushing to get the fish as I know it needs to go through a cycle so how long does that take and what does it involve?
Anyway, I attach my tank...sorry for all the questions!
Oops, just called the fish shop and they don't stock them because they are nasty!
