Lost 5 fish during power outage this week so needed some new blood to get me out of the dumps and liven my fish tanks up. So got 2 golden wonder killifish (M + F), 2 very perrrty guorami's (M + F), a GREEN SPOTTED PUFFER!!!!! (if couldn't tell by caps and !'s this is my #1 ultimate favorite fish and my fish stores haven't had any for over a year so very excited!), and started a cichlid tank for first time ever with 4 convict cichlids (2 M + 2 F). Just had to share my exciting news. Honestly is there anything better than new fish day?!

Putting fish in a tank to breed and 40 minutes later finding out that one of the females was pregnant and you didn't have to do anything.

Don't mean to rain on your happiness but for me babies is like your new fish day

Sam Livingston

Haha same here I'm hoping for some babies from some of these fish. Convicts would be awesome but would also ruin my hopes of possibly adding more cichlids.

I want a cichlid tank so bad but I'm not allowed any more tanks. So unless there is a massive die out it's not going to happen and only if I can find cichlids that I can have multiples in a 10 gal. The decorations in the 20 gal won't allow for big fish

Sam Livingston

Yeah I'm excited to see how the cichlids work out they've already grabbed my attention all night, since my green spotted puffer started his routine of going up and down watching himself.

I love cichlids!
I am sure you love the puffers as well, I have wanted a couple of those guys! They have such personallity to them!
I moved all my cichlids around just to stir up some territories (literally tank to tank territories w/ my malawi cichlids) you should see the action, its like a kung fu movie! lol

Sam Livingston

Haha that's funny, mine went from terrified of me one second to rushing to tank everytime I walk by just by feeding them once. Yea I can't get enough puffers there my favorite of all time.

I am jealous. The only puffers I can find is brackish water ones and I don't have a brackish tank.

Sam Livingston

Brackish tanks isn't too bad once it's started, easier than most people think. There are two species I know of that are freshwater; south american (which I have in a fresh) and dwarf puffers.
