arrow head puffer, red eye puffer(not to be confused with c.irrubesco or salvatore), dragon puffer are all common names for the same puffer. lurkers deserve bigger than a 10 but they are pretty sedentary and could probably live in a 10. the problem with puffers is that they almost always deserve the higher end of tank sizes because theyll surf the glass relentlessly if theyre unhappy so its worth just buying an appropriately sized tanks.
Yup, often places sell white cloud minnows as feeders around $1 or less each. It’s pretty expensive for the tiny little bit of food, but I guess feeder guppies could work too.
This is what its like to own an arrowhead.... like owning a pet rock! Its awesome when they come out to feed, but after that 30 seconds is over they go back to being a pet rock.
some people say that the activity level varies specimen to specimen and that they leave this behavior once accustomed to aquaria. i think undergravel filter+ lots of plants as well as philodendrons growing out the back would be more than suffecient. i once built a snall sump for a 10 gallon using one of those turtle filters that are like internal hob filters and it was super easy.
