I have a ton also, so let me know if Phil doesn't come through. No clue what type they are, but they're small and active.

I know I can't seem to catch up with you.
I have about 20lbs of smoke t-grade, but I think it's spoken for. And about 100-125lbs of the tan (looks like red clay to me - but the light it's under changes the color drastically) t-grade. I have it in two tanks side by side and they look like they have different sand in them because the light on each tank is different.
Until I get an established breeding population I'll always have a need.

Oh yeah he loves those! I thought he was digging in the sand after them but it turns out he's blowing the sand away leaving little craters.

puffers will DESTROY snails...
Also, some Madagascar cichlids like polleni and lamena will eat them.

OMG I have snails. How? I have no clue. weird. I found snails around the edge of the water line of my rack system tanks. Nothing has been added for months and everything that was in the tank was dry for months. I am confused.

Hey Danger - Abby saw puffers at the local wallyworld and decided she might want to have them in her new (to her) 55 gallon. I know nothing about them (except that they eat snails, now lol)
Give me some insight into keeping them?

Yeah I moved him last week and then aquascaped the tank for him on Monday. This is the first time since I've had him that he's in a tank specifically setup for him in terms of aquascaping. He's happier now then ever before. His tail is open a lot more now and he swims around more. I think he loves checking out all the activity in the room compared to the back room he was in.
Make sure you know what kind you are getting, many need brackish - if not all the time they will when they get older. Most that are pure freshwater get big 12"+. There is a south american puffer that is 100% freashwater and stays small but it's teeth are a problem as in they grow fast and usually need to be trimmed a couple of times a year. All puffers need snails and crustians to keep their teeth trim. I also feed mine red wigglers and black worms and the odd convict that wakes up with a triangle chuck missing from it's head. Mine will only eat live food, but some people are successful at getting theirs to eat frozen. They tend to be mean little suckers. The bigger ones will kill anything in the tank. The smaller ones aren't as bad but tend to be fin nippers. Check out http://www.thepufferforum.com/PufferPedia to see what type will work for you and http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/library/ for care.
woohoo goodie bags
