[HDX 55 Gallon tote for fry growout?]

I used the 55g tote for betta fry, I had no issues with them but the tote needs a brace. I used a home depot ratcheting strap in the middle. You might be better off searching local Craigslist or fb marketplace for a good used tank for a similar if not cheaper than the tote.

That's cool, I've heard of barometric pressure drop being a trigger for South American fish, it would make sense for Africa too.

 

Try Cross River next! haha.

Sure 77-79⁰ temp range, 300 kh, 40 gh, 6.8ph, 9,100' altitude, and tons of snails and earthworms

Thanks, interestingly enough I've never considered altitude as a parameter! I'd assume a little less O2 than sea level but otherwise not much different?

That's awesome! Can I ask what your tank parameters for breeding these guys?

I've heard of people breaking in and stealing plecos in aus, I believe l046 zebras sell 1000-1500 for juvies?

For me the one day fish is a group of pea puffers.might not seem all that exotic to most of you but they are $200+ a piece here in oz.for now i just have to be happy with my saltwater puffers instead which is easy to do.

Wow thats crazy! like $5 usd here. I mostly keep plecos and have seen some of the crazy prices for them out of oz. Cant imagine what something like a cross river puffer would sell for there (if even available?).
