Well you dont want too much rocks where it takes up the whole tank they do need some swimming space and they can get up to 10" not really fast but they can get up to 15" but thats going to take a while but yea not to much maybe a rock formation on one side and then leave like an open space in the middle to the other side of the tank they like to swim and need some space.

Thats just what I have in mind. The 75 they're in now should hold them for a while but I have plans to grab a 300+ as soon as I have the funds. Probably Januaryish.
good plan to know that you will need a larger tank... these guys can rock, just don't forget to pick up that tank when you find it...
Well, good news and bad news. Good news is, no puffer attacks. Bad news is, I came home and found the little blue one stuck in the tube my fire eel frequents. Not sure if it was really stuck or just ended up there but I spent the last hour holding its mouth open so the spray bar pushed water over its gills. I'm afraid I wasn't able to save it. My lfs has a 3 day return policy with a water test so I'm gonna head down and see what I can do. This really sucks though...

oh that is so sad..i am sorry..if i were to choose between the two i would have loved
him.. not just the blue but the little hump on his head..bummer~Oh sorry about that bro im thinking that small lighter one was a female. It was probably sick from the LFS or male was chasing it but i doubt it sorry to hear about that was there any more of them there?
Well, it's a good news bad news situation again. Bad news first. They only gave me $30 in credit because of the buy one get one free deal. The little one only listed for $50 so I already gave up on $30 of buy one get one credit when I got her. Now the good news. They had several in a display tank that they'll let me buy. I'm aware, "let me buy" is kind of a backwards statement but I'm happy anyway. I've put 2 females on hold from the same collection point as my big guy. Also, they knew the collection point. They said, Ngubu, or something like that. I'll have to write it down next time, but the guy I normally talk to, and the only one I trust, told me they are supposed to be the most colorful of the variants and collection points. Said something about glitter face I think. He wasn't sure on that. So, good news is I'll have what looks like a male and 2 females from the same collection point. Bad news, $80 a pop for the little females. Looks like my 2 for 1 deal turned into a buy 1 , buy 2 more.

I'm pretty sure it just found a way to jam itself into the PVC and couldnt get out. the pipe is about 4" wide, so the sucker had to really try to kill itself.
