Hi is that a Chinese algae eater in your tank? I have a ceylon puffer.. feeding it garden snails.. since CAE likes to suck on slime, thought it could clean up the mess puffer leaves.. Let know how it works for you plz
I have a quick question, how do you know if you’re over feeding them? I had 3 one unfortunately passed away and I’m just wondering if I was over feeding on accident
They normally max out at 2 1/2 inches to 3 inches, larger tanks are always good but you can keep a single in a 10 gallon if you can keep the water quality pristine. I would always recommend over filtration for puffers. Nice tank and puffers!
I have 9 puffers of different varieties. Trust me, you don't need to acclimate brackish fish to any change in salinity. Just put the specific gravity to where you want it. The fish will immediately adjust.
@@weezyfno970 They can adjust to any specific gravity instantaneously. I have bought euryhaline puffers from my LFS that were in fresh water in the display tank and dropped them in full marine conditions in my tank. No problem whatsoever after doing temperature acclimation.
I got a Figure 8 Puffer that recently brought home..it’s been swimming around and up/down frantically. It’s in a brackish tank now. What could be the issue?
They are curious but they live much longer in brackish. So you shouldn’t be putting plecos anywhere near them best tankmates include bumblebee gobies, knight gobies and smaller mollies
@@antoniamartinez5726 Maybe but the main reason is they are brackish which means they need slightly salty water not many plecos like salt in water sure it can be done but it’s not very good for them
hey, im thinking of getting the figure 8 puffer....the only problem is i travel for 2 weeks sometimes and i was wondering if it can go without eating for 2weeks.

Where did you buy your stone Decor.?
I enjoyed your video a lot!
please make another video showing how to make the water brackish using instant ocean.
thanks:)
i know it is kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to stream newly released tv shows online?
@Bruno Ricky Flixportal :P
@Ben Kashton Thank you, signed up and it seems to work =) I really appreciate it!!
@Bruno Ricky Glad I could help :D
super cute video! I have two in a 40 gallon tank with bumblebee gobies and they are the best!
I heard that they'll do fine in hard water and since I live in California I have the hardest water

Poteluz I have mine in a fish bowl and my mom feeds it goldfish food and he is fine
elijah. How would it feel if you live in a tiny house with nothing and get fed trash
Lil Low I don’t feed him trash he eats good he eats 5 dollar goldfish food and my sink is at least half a gallon
elijah. Funny asl
@@eli8699 funny joke.
I always add a bit of salt in all my tanks period. Not as much as a brackish but it’s so easy to keep up a brackish tank!
These guys love frozen pinky mice every once in a while

True but it is less stressful if you drip/cup acclamate
Is there a specific salinity that works best for these guys?

@@weezyfno970 Every Figure 8 I ever had did that all the time. I don't know why they do that. Glass surfing gets on my nerves.
Great video! although i think the music was a bit much at the end XD. But awesome info, im considering getting one of these for my new 29g tank
Where do you find crayfish for feeding?
Aaah I love my figure 8s they are just so messy I have to do constant water changes, and if I put a plec in they try eat him 🤦🏽♀️

@@SP-qs4yh hey quick question i have a 8 inch pleco maybe bigger , would he be okay with some figure 8 puffers?

Awesome video defenitley post more man, and keep up the good work
What's the other fish?
hey, im thinking of getting the figure 8 puffer....the only problem is i travel for 2 weeks sometimes and i was wondering if it can go without eating for 2weeks.
Nope
They sell automatic food dispensers but ur puffer might be eating pellet diets for 2 wks in that case.
What are a good clean up crew for these guys ??
You 😂
Lol very true. You and very good filtration. I’d get a size or two above what is recommended for a tank your size
Great video, thank you .
amazing video
What plants do you have in you’re tank??
They are plastic plants
Their ph really should be 7.5 to 8. Most important is to just keeping constant parameters. They are sensitive to poor water quality that is for sure.
Is that a Chinese algae eater ?
Bro hasn’t dropped a video since
You should upload again 😊
