GSP tank

I am planning to get 1 GSP for my 29 gallon tank. My question is, is the way I have it setup (decor wise) sufficient for a GSP? I'm not worried about separating territory because there is only going to be one. However, I don't want him to get bored out of his mind.

I think it looks pretty good. It's hard to tell with puffers. Some will like setups no matter what, and some are so danged picky It should probably be okay though. I usually change the decor around every once in a while if they start looking bored. If your puff gets all settled in (give him like a week or so) and is still pacing the glass, then maybe you should change up the decor a bit.

THanks everybody, I know with the dwarf puffers it needs to be dense and jungle-like but I wasn't sure if that would be needed for a single GSP or not.

In regards to the hamster tubes, how would I secure them so they don't fall or anything? And are they a pain to clean?

With the PVC, again, how do I secure them and would I need to drill holes in them?

Sorry if those are stupid questions but I want to make sure I do them right.

Thanks again,
Tiffany

The density of a DP tank is mainly because of their aggressiveness towards each other.

Hamster tubes should sink. Not sure if they're a pain to clean, I haven't had to clean mine yet

Same with PVC, they should sink. If it's not too long of a tube there's no need to drill holes.
