eheim pro-II 2026 external canister,which a frnd gave me

wow. is that really a 55gal? any rock in there? the fish need shelter. you need to separate the fish and upgrade your tank asap.

the filter was attached to the 180 g my frnd had....he neva rele had interest in fishes and the tank belonged to her landlord....
i just shifted the puffer babies to a bucket and put the dad into their tank...i hope he settles down soon..im gonna get him a tank next week

The Lionfish should look like this.

Ok...biggest concern is that filter is junk, for a saltwater tank.

Another...you're now mentioning "puffer babies" and "puffer dad"? How many Puffers do you have?

Your fish are not going to survive in that tank, let alone a bucket. Is there a fish store where you can take them to sell/donate? It's either that, or everything is surely gonna die.

also, bad diet. what kind of flakes? dont give them loaches or minnows either.
also i was wondering, you [or friend] didnt actually breed porc puffers, did you?

if you dont have the money for a larger tank, why not just take the fish back for now, and then when you better off to support these fish, get them again. not to bash or anything but keeping them together and not fixing the problem will only result in unnecessary loss.

IMO shoot for a 125 min, preferably a 150 for the puffer and concentrate on getting that ready for fish. This hobby will be around a long time, theres no need to rush.

Puffers with lions are never a good idea.

my friend did breed them,and a lot of other fishes...if he were still here i would have had no problem with them...
