This is my 4th aquarium, and my 2nd using the awesome Picotope Aquarium Kit. I loves me some adorable mini-puffer fish, even if they are vicious killers. That cute look in their eye? It’s them figuring out if they can eat your living flesh. Anyway, I’ve always wanted a tank dedicated just to puffer fish. On top of that, I got some bonding putty and made some rock sculptures, and contained all the plants inside of clear plastic tubing, allowing the tank to be infinitely re-arranged without making a mess.

I originally planned to also house a Badis in this tank (it can be seen in one of the photos) but he wasn’t happy in there so I returned him to the 20 gallon tank.

Specs:

• 3 Pea-Puffers
• 3 Mini Corys (forget which kind)

This is the first planted aquarium attempt. It’s gone through a lot of phases of plants and layout. Currently I’m trying to get the entire bottom surface covered with ground cover plants.

Specs

• 9 Green Neon Tetras
• 5 Harlequin Rasboras
• 3 Bumble Bee Gobys
• 3 Amano Shrimp
• 1 Chocolate Gourami
• 1 Badis (the smallest known Perch, a labyrinth fish, related to Gouramis and Bettas)
• 1 Dwarf Loach (an endangered species)
