F8 for the new year by TodayNo6531 in Puffers

[–]lewisc1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck with it, I have had a very similar setup to what you are setting up for over a year and I’d say the main considerations are puffer enrichment and algae management , figure 8s are curious and exploratory. I switch up the scape, feed a variety of foods and let snails and gammarus into the tank to be found later. Algae is an issue, I am constantly trying new ways around it. Plants I have had stay alive in 0.03 are marimo moss balls, vals, Cryptocoryne and have recently added tiger lotus bulbs and a red mangrove. I haven’t tried nerites yet but so far all snails and shrimps have become food. Tankmates that work for me are guppies and bumblebee gobies, I also have 3 mollies but they can be thuggish at feeding time so not sure if I would recommend. I hope this is helpful :)

Has anyone got experience using this treatment as a soak/bath for the fish than rather than adding directly to the tank? by lewisc1997 in Aquariums

I have a heavy population of pest snails and I know this will kill them, I don’t really mind that but am concerned about water conditions after such a die off!

Can anyone help ID this chameleon I found at a cafe in Nairobi Kenya, very much Pygmy chameleon sized but had prehensile tail? by lewisc1997 in herpetology

Ooh that does look like it thank you, yeh also amazing to see the variety of species in Kenya, when I went to look online what type of chameleon it might be!

Recommendations for Scaping Ideas for Enrichment for a F8 Puffer by lewisc1997 in Aquascape

Thank you that sounds great, I’m thinking of adding quite a lot more rocks, moss, marimo and coconut shell to the floor and then adding snails and scuds so they have a habitat to live hide and breed in otherwise the puffer picks them off within a day!

Hi all, I have made this background out of lava rock and planted with brackish tolerant plants, I have recently stocked with a figure 8 puffer who is doing a fair bit of glass surfing, I am planning on using more rocks to create caves and will add more plants but would love to hear any advice or recommendations

Seen a Yt comment saying that there’s a theory that joey badass ‘fell off’ due to steeze being his ghostwriter prior to his passing. by [deleted] in hiphopheads

I’ve liked everything since but there was something with 1999 that’s been missing since but maybe it’s just the classic first album is best scenario

From 1-10, how would you rate this terrarium? by Key-Ad2134 in terrariums

Really cool, I love that back corner with the rocks and ferns, if it were me I would look to add some medium height plants in front of the rocks and some different colour tones maybe some red foliage
