  1. What is your male to female ratio? Have you noticed any molting? If a female hasn't molted, you won't have any breeding happening yet.
  2. I've heard of this and seen plenty of images and videos online about it. They really do destroy swords sometimes.
  3. Sergeant Ruby is my first puffer. I got her for $50 from a local hobbyist who was breaking down his tank. She's been such a joy to have. She gets along with all her tank mates and never makes trouble. She used to have a best friend that was an American flagfish. Sadly he passed away and Ruby barely moved for a week after that. She is fed a diet of ramshorn snails, bladder snails, and a variety of live worms raised in my worm bins and cultures. Anyone else keep this cute species of freshwater puffer?
  4. I had a moth just living on top of my floating plants. Don't know how it got in there but apparently some moth larvae can be aquatic. I'm sure it got eaten by my betta eventually.
  5. Yeah, we have more options for sure and local hobbyists are happy to sell plant clippings for cheap or even give them away free sometimes. Maybe you have a local Facebook fish group you can join. That's how I find inexpensive things for the hobby.
  6. Hi everyone, Happy to be here. I'm a pretty experienced hobbyist from The Big Apple. Living in a small apartment limits the size of tanks I can keep so my largest is a 55 gallon turtle tank (with a basking room on top so don't worry 😉). I then have two five gallon betta tanks, a small ten gallon betta community, another ten gallon blue dream shrimp community, and a 20 gallon long puffer community tank. No, there is not a bloodbath happening in there. I have all live plants and my tanks are mostly rather heavily planted or in the process of growing out into a moderately planted look. I am obsessed with colorful and red plants.
  7. Current obsession: dwarf ram cichlids

  8. Hi everyone. I'm a hobbyist that returned to it last year after a long break. In that short time period, I've amassed six fish tanks in my NYC apartment. Some of my favorite fish are hillstream loaches, spotted congo puffers, dwarf cichlids, and dwarf rainbowfish.
