Appaulling picture again! It is a bit sparse, there is a little more in there but plan to next weekend get some taller things going. What do you guys reckon? The puffs are an inch and entirely too cute! Can't wait!

I am just getting the two for my 180 litre. When they are full grown may need to upgrade them. Aw please do I did rehome my dwarf puffs recently due to trauma and more interest in the larger puffs and bettas. Are you local Netty? Because feel free to come see them once they are in! Also open to anyone! I am off next week and will be about mostly (parnters birthday so not sure what planned yet) I will of course post pics on them as well. I have been researching puffs since march and would help setup if needed! (they got me into fishkeeping x) lol

I love figure of 8 puffers I had one and I loved him to bits. Even had a colony of water snails in the water butt so he didnt go hungry. Even bought him sea food bags from iceland. Then one day he just died no warning nothing! I was so upset I went back to bettas!

Sorry to hear that liz you should get another one though at some point, puffs are awesome!
It is official I have two one and a half inch GSPs in my tank as we speak! I feel overly anxious and have to leave for couple of hours soon but they are too cute. Fitzgig and Gizmo (Dark crystal and gremlins anyone). Very cute, still little stressed and pacing but hope settle soon and explore the tank for them!
