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)

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
