Nightster's fahaka puffer thread

[nightster]

Redid my snail hatchery. I was losing snails randomly so I suspect I had an assassin snail. I only used the tops of the plants, replaced the sand, and used different rocks. Also got rid of the cherry dwarf shrimp and guppies as well.

you must be bored

I'm trying to find out why I was losing snails, so I redid the tank

[sunkenmetal]

sometimes they just die

[nightster]

Thinking about taking one of the fx5s off the the puffer tank and putting it on my 55g. I feel bad doing it though, like my puffer is gonna die or something lol. If i do it will have 1 fx5 and a huge wet/dry, which should still be enough filtration and flow for a fahaka. Thoughts?

Make the switch. Just buy another fx5 on here when some extra funds come up.

What filter are you currently running on the 55g? Put that on the fahakas tank. The fx5 should be plenty for a 55g.

Right now the 55g has a 2213 and a small-medium wet/dry.

I know FX5's are hard to come by, so why not go with 1x FX5 and 2x wet/dry for that toothy fantail fish?

Depends, on what's going in the tank

This is a good idea! Then upgrade to a 2217 on your 55g.

Ill probably just take an fx5 off the puffer tank and put it on the 55g and have a 2213, fx5, and wet/dry on the 55g.
