[What to do with Babies?]

Thanks for all the advice.  

@Mac I like the idea of an outdoor set up.  We have a pond set up we got for free like 6 years ago I have never set up.  I might do that now.  

[What to do with Babies?]

I have 4 amazon puffer fish in my 75 gallon tank (why I am breeding snails).  One of the puffers wont eat blood worms so I have been hatching brine shrimp until I can get the snail population going.  I feed both tanks brine shrimp so I think the minnows are responding to that.   They were also breeding in my 75 gallon.  

@Fish Folk If you are in Washington State and the babies make it want some? 

For graduate school I decided to do a masters in environmental science in Washington State instead of Aquaculture in Arkansas.  Now I am a food inspector.  I sometimes wonder if I should get back to my fishy roots. 

 

[What to do with Babies?]

I am unintentionally breeding cloud minnows in my snail tank.   I used them to cycle my main tank.  So this has lead me to some thoughts and questions. 

• What do you do with the babies when they grow?  
• How do you get into becoming a professional fish breeder?

THANKS

Have the Amazon puffers been released from quarantine?  Are there any left?  Planning to drive down from Bellingham on Sunday.

[Amazon Puffer Fish - Advice]

I was thinking 3 or 4 puffer fish.  They would be the main fish.   I have a huge driftwood piece, rocks and some plants that hopefully will grow bigger for entertainment.

I just got done cycling a 75 gallon tank.  I added White Cloud Mountain minnows to help cycle the tank and so I had something to look at.  I think I have finally decided I want a community tank with Amazon Puffers.  I figure I will either have to move the minnows to their own tank or find a new home for them.  I am also starting a 10 gallon tank for a snail colony to feed the puffers with.   

I am looking for advice about Amazon puffers

• What fish have you found are good tank mates? 
• What disease should I look out for? 
• Besides snails what else are good food? 

THANKS!

I am also interested in when the Amazon Puffers will make it to the sales floor.  I live in Bellingham but will be in Seattle on Monday and was planning to stop by.

Do you have any amazon puffer fish available?  I live about 2 hours away and with the pandemic and a toddler don't want to make the trip just to see.  THANK YOU!
