MICRO-TANKER Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Hello I am new to the forum! Im starting a Micro Tank for pea puffers. Ive had the tank for about three weeks and have cycled it with no fish. I have all the water levels and everything ready however is too much of a current in the tank going to be a problem. I haven't actually ordered the fish yet. Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Welcome! Thanks for your questions. Some questions for you now: (1) What size is your tank? (2) Have you tested you Ammonia / Nitrite / Nitrate yet to be certain the aquarium is fully cycled? (3) What sort of filtration are you running, and what is the “flow” source you refer to? (4) How many Pea Puffers are you hoping to order? Edited December 27, 2021 by Fish Folk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eatyourpeas Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Do you have a picture of the tank? The water flow can be dampened with a sponge. Pea puffers like lots of interesting spots, nooks and crannies, plants, etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could fit six in a tank that size. So excited for you! They're such great little fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Naysmith Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 In terms of how many Pea Puffers as Cory would say one or three or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
