New 40 Gallon FW

[neoginn]

Ok, I got a new 40 gallon... I am going to make it into a Brackish water tank but the fish i want (Figure 8 puffer) is very difficult to find. Actually this is why i am posting, I would really like some help finding this little puffer, or a different puffer but not the Indian Dwarf puffer. Thanks everyone.

I was just at Aquarium Center, in Randallstown yesterday and I'm almost positive they had some there.

Ooooh, can you keep me updated on how your figure 8 tank setup goes? i was thinking about setting something up for one. Since they are a dwarf puffer i figured it would be a good way to learn about the species.

You might also find the June 2006 Practical Fishkeeping magazine handy: there is a really good article in there on "to salt or not to salt" for 'brackish' water fish. They recommend a S.G. of 1.005 for the tetrodon biocellatus.

Hope it goes well, and let me know!
