Ha! Grazie!

Oh no! I'm sorry Puffers are just far too sensitive to go through a cycle I'm afraid

About the monos and scats.... they really are schooling type fish, and do better in groups. But in a 29g you really don't have room for a school of either since they both get rather large.

Tell me if this is a nutty idea...keep 3 scats (1.5 ")and 3 monos (2") for a just under a year, then donate them somewhere or upgrade tanks. I've been looking at a 55gl tank but it will not fit in my classroom.


I also just got a betta in a 2.5 gl tank with some mini banana plants. Just putting a little stress coat + in there when I do a 25% weekly water change. I might upgrade him to a 5gl or 10gl later.

That's great. I hope you post his pic over on the betta forum.

I'm not sure.... Not having kept them myself I am not sure of how fast they grow. I'll try to find what I can though....

Cool thanks. I think I'm going to make my 10 gallon a 3 dwarf puffer tank. I was thinking of changing the substrate to sand as it is black and red gravel (see pic gallery).

Nitrates around 10! I'll keep doing water changes a few times a week to try and get it lower. Thanks so much for your help. The fish look super healthy and colorful. Still want to change over to sand. Should I wait a while or leave most of the gravel in a nylson stocking while i put the sand in?

leave the gravel in a nylon stocking when you put the sand in, that should keep you from hurting your cycle
