phoenix44 Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 behind the foot of the log on the right? (if it is right do i gets some ) nice tank as well I got lots of little snails that the puffers have not found just yet - or at least i don't think they have found them cause they look like they want only bloodworms and big snails. tank without flash. its a total mess at the moment, but as the tank ages it should look more natural. Added a second DIY CO2 on today. now im unsure if this thread should stay here, or be in the plant section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simian Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Just got myself a pair a few days ago, didnt have space for them straight away, so I put them in a heavily planted tank with some swordtails.....can you say "shredded" kiddies :evil: not terminal but bad enough. They are now on their own. The Goldfish Bowl still has some I think, give Cliff a ring, he may still have some girls for you P44. I'm still trying to decide what to do with my pair they were a impulse buy. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 I had 3 males and they just would not stop fighting. One was sickish when i got him so the 2 healthy ones threw him out the tank. then yesterday after weeks of puffing at each other the 2 I had left had a fight and now I have only 1 male left. Im getting females either this week or the next. They are a pretty weird fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 How many bumble bee gobies can I put in the tank? I have one at present, maybe another 2 might work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 How fast can they swim, or how well can they hide - sounds like a pretty inhospitable environment and now possibly one bored inhabitant with big teeth and an attitude to match!
