Hello MFK peeps.
I'm ready to take on another species of fish the puffer, I have been doing research for a while and now have space for the smaller species and a couple have recently showed up.
First species is TETRAODON CUTCUTIA. They are 1.5" and I have an empty 10g for now and a 29g upgrade in a few months (has some cichlid fry I was growing for fun). Would a 10g be a suitable home for a single one? I've read they only grow 4" and seems fair to me if i keep up with water changes all the time. It will have seeded sponge filter and a aqueon mini. There isn't too much info i could find so anyone have any experience? Do I feed small puffers the same way as a little bit larger ones? Seafood medley, krill, clams, and shrimp? Are these guys bad for over grown teeth?
Next are pea puffers they are interesting cute little guys I was thinking of doing like 3-5 of them in my ten and attempt some shrimp friends! Experience? Also how do I keep there teeth trimmed?
Next is to get a valentini puffer or another toby for my 20g long salt water tank. (reason why a marine is in the options because I was considering inverts for the salt also) No info needed for this guy.
So put a cutcutia in a 10 or maybe 29 and how many could i have in a 29. Or pea puffers in a 10. Or get a marine toby. I only want one puffer tank what would you do! Exclude the factor between marine and fresh. If you have never had a salt water tank then maybe just debate over the fresh water species thanks MFK and sorry for my long posts all the time. I try to include all the info to eliminate side tracked questions.
