There are a few ottos in there too, I might throw in a few ghost shrimp just to test see what happens, worst case the puffer gets a nice snack.

I just have the Tetra 50 watt preset heater. I've used them before and never had a single problem. this one hasn't let my tank move from 78 yet.

I bet he's pretty happy in that tank

My tank is so heavily planted and has caves and driftwood arches for her to explore it's practically impossible to get a pic. I love these little guys so much.we need an I Love Pea Puffers thread. Lol

beautiful little setup! I've been wanting a pair of dwarf puffers for a while, and considering I just setup my 14g I may have to do it. Can't wait to see more pics!

golfer_d · 10-31-2012, 06:09 PM

Cool tank. Everytime I am at the LFS I am checking out the pea puffers.

I am thinking my next tank will have a few of these guys for something different. So cool to watch them.

Hey, I got an Edge as well, would you mind explaining those LEDs fixture? PIctures etc.

kruzerman · 11-01-2012, 01:44 AM

Great tank. I am thinking my next tank will be a pea puffer as well. The puffers don't bother the Otos?

It's pretty simple, just used GU10 6w LEDs and GU10 bases. And the rest is pieces i modified from Home Depot for out door flood lights. Total cost was about $30. It's a little ghetto right now I need to finish it and paint it.

Haven't bugged them yet. Everything I read says they are one of the only fish you can keep with puffers.

The little guy has colored up a lot since I got him. Killed about 20 snails so far and is happily taking blood worms.

hlaalu · 11-01-2012, 06:25 AM

those puffers sure are cute!

Green_Flash · 11-01-2012, 06:35 AM

I love puffers, great tank!

FlyingHellFish · 11-01-2012, 06:37 AM

Thanks for the pic, would you know if there are arms with a base for those G10 fixture? I tried looking for them on Homedepot but couldn't find any.

I had some puffers too, they never ate much beside live brine shrimp. Do you use a tweezer or just drop the blood worms in.

I haven't seen anything like that, that's why i built this, I wanted the light aim able

I just drop them in and he goes after them
