| Which Puffer???
I've decided on puffers (I think) for my to-be-empty 29g (you can blame PFP), but now I can't decide which kind I want to get!
Here are my options:
3 red eyes
2 figure 8's
1 green spotted
Suggestions? I'm leaning toward either the f8's or the red eyes. Which one to pick?  |

| i'd say figure 8's because how hard it is to find red eyed | |

| I thought you already had red eyes? Or was that someone else... Either way, I like the figure eights. I wouldn't go for the GSP because of the whole brackish to saltwater thing. But thats just me. | |

| I do already have 1 red eye in a 10 gallon. If I did red eyes in the 29g I'd move him to the 29 and get a couple of females.
I'd like to do f8's, but whenever I make up my mind to get them, every time I see Wilhelm he gives me the cutie pie face and I want more like him! Such a delima... | |

| I dunno, f8's are pretty cute too. Its like, I love my cories, but when I get a new tank, I'm going to want to expand my horizons, maybe try ottos or a pleco. Not that my mom would let me get a new tank, but still. | |

| I would choose the GSP... they're by far my favorite puffer  But all of them are excellent choices! | |

| Arrrghhhh... now I can't decide between f8's or a gsp! Would it be possible to keep a GSP without a protein skimmer? | |

| Figure 8 brackish all the way ... mine is my coffee buddy! ... My red eye is also another favorite ... more shy than the f8 though ... If I remember correctly, the GSP will eventually need full marine ... but double check me on that. | |

| OK, I've decided against a GSP... now I have to decide between 2 f8's or 2 fancy goldfish. Aaaaggggghhhhhh!!!!!!! I can NEVER make up my mind about fish! | |

And, you could keep a GSP happily at 1.015SG long-term as far as I've seen, so no protein skimmer would be necessary  | |

| PUFFERS! But I am incredibly biased ... LOL! ... My figure 8 will come see me everytime I approach the tank ... almost as if he is staring me in the eyes ... | |

| Okay people... I've decided on something different....
Shrimp.
No, I'm just kidding! I've decided to put red eyes in there. I just can't resist the cuteness Wilhelm throws at me when I walk in there! | |

| @ Amanda: No, but that was when I tired to put 2 in a 10 gallon. This time I'm going to try 2-3 in a 29 gallon... or should I not try it? | |

I was told I couldnt get em cause of the full saltwater thing ._. which was told to be hard but the ones they sell at my store are like 3inches big and in a saltwater tank without protein skimmer or any of that fancy stuff. Is that okay? O: | |
