Have you ever done this??

Have you ever set up a new tank, got some new fish, then a day later, or even instantly, you think, man, I don't like this fish or this set up at all, and torn it all down?

I've done this in the past.

Sort of. I got a Fahaka puffer and it took me about 3 weeks to realize what a boring fish it was. I even read and watched videos about the fish for years before I was able to get one.

Interesting. A dog faced puffer has always been on my wish list. I'm guessing the Fahaka is shy?

Dog faced puffer is much different more interactive. A fahaka puffer just lays at the bottom until feeding time then goes back to laying on the bottom. Maybe others have had different experiences but that was mine. I think that is why all the videos I saw were feeding videos.

I have had great experiences with green spotted puffer, figure 8 puffer, dwarf puffer, and dog face puffer.

Ended up giving a 56 column tank setup I bought for angels away. Turns out I dont care for angels and didnt know what else to put in there.

Setup a 240, didn't like it. Tore it down and sold it. Got another one that I like. Now I'm happy.
