Re: new tank for brackish fish
He is definately a cool looking puffer, I havent seen one thats green and spotted like this one, your gonna get shredded for the decor though so I wont start the bashing. Just be aware its all in good fun.

Re: new tank for brackish fish
yep i might get a little bashing but it looks nice (fake plants,put the pot and barrel in there due to he might want to hide but hes sleeping right now and my camera needs battery's for the flash to work because you probably wont believe me with out a photo but he is laying on the bottom and has is tail pulled up towards him basically laying like a dog on the bottom its cool
i was going to go with a sand bottom and real plants but the lps said he will ether eat or pull plants up and they had him in the same gravel so may change later ........

Re: new tank for brackish fish
Cool lil puffer.
Just keep in mind that even though he's small.He's one bad lil dude.They usually kill what ever is in the tank with em,unless its another puffer.

Re: new tank for brackish fish
I had one of those little guys a few years back. They do sleep curled up in a ball. Fed him live snails that the pet store gave because they were a nucance(sp).
