Do they really puff up????

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
One of my 2.5" fahaka puffers puffed up when I took it out of bag. FUNNIEST THING I EVER SAW! Seeing a golfball sized puffer LOL! If it wasn't stressful for them I would've ran and got a camera!
 
just some additional insight ... it took me about 3 months to cycle my tank (properly) to get it "fish ready".

That chemistry balance is so important. It tells you everything about the tank. A quick reading can tell you if you're running hot or not, if you are over feeding, or if you're not doing enough water changes.

The numbers will tell you when your tank is ready.
