100 gallon dwarf puffer tank

Because of availability of the fish, it looks like my 100 gallon community tank is gonna be converted to a dwarf puffer species tank... I am halfway through the conversion... For those of you who have puffer tanks, can you post pics of your tanks? Not just pics of the puffers, but the whole tank... I need some ideas of how I'm gonna aquascape the tank... Hopefully it will be up and running in the next two weeks

A 100g DP tank?? Oh my gosh that will be amazing! How many puffs are you getting in there? How are you gonna make sure they all get fed? Good luck with your tank! It'll be soooo awesome!

Here's pics of my past DP tanks...

hahaha... those were questions I was hoping you would be able to answer for me, considering you being the puffer expert =)... your tanks look great... are those all real plants in your tanks? I was thinking of putting in a mix of both real and fake

I'd say up to about 20 puffs... and you'd definitely want a few plecos (Thomasi or ancistrus) or otos in there too to help keep it clean for you. Feeding could be difficult, and honestly you will probably lose several puffers and never know about it... What you need to do is get them used to hand feeding and so they learn to come up to the top to eat. It took mine months to figure that out, so just keep at it.

I have all real plants in the first one, and all fake except for the real moss in the second.

I was thinking of getting all silk plants and adding a ton of java moss... will having one of those feeding basket things that suction to the side of the tank help?

the upside down cone with little holes in it, that can be suctioned to the side of the tank... used to feed live bloodworms, i think.

Ohhh... that might help. You'd still have to make sure that all the puffs notice it though

i see... thanks for the advice... I'm sure I will have plenty of more questions for you as its closer and closer until the tank is up
