BTW, my Fahaka is in a 2ft tank now. Hope it is not stressed because there is too much space.

mine was stress for 1 day when i first got it... den next day start hunting for ghost shrimp n eatin the mp i throw in... now even hunt for crayfish liao...

normally i'll jus throw all the shrimp into the tank. if i keep them in a small tank... will die very fast...

How big is your tank? And are there any other fishes that will contribute to the bioload?

I'll also do that if that is really fine. Perhaps maybe half or even a quater of the pack .

Typical behaviour of blowing on the sand to look for food. Sometimes tries to bury itself into the sand. Patrolling once in a while. Looks normal to me.

Bored? It's the only one in the tank now since it killed the pleco.

Haven't tried ghost shrimps since they are so hard to keep alive.

Oo..sounds normal to me..

ghost shrimp ah...get those small pack... leftover dump into wolf fish tank.. (there is still 1 or 2 ghost shrimp with my wolf...for almost 2 months liao..)

any deco inside? i read that puffer needs a lot of deco..else they will feel bored.. or u can play with it...

hahahahha... TLC = buffet ? .. at least it is for me... hahahahaha... buffets, yum yum...

me just shifted it into a std 2ft tank.... with 60% new water.... looks kinda stressed and uncomfy now, but still responsive and eyeing around the new environment...

can't wait for my 2 by 2 tank to be fully cycled..

yupz... was thinking of buffet style lidat also... cos mine do stopped eating when it is full... dun even bother if the fish swim past its mouth.... it just keep iis eyes on the fish...

shrimps dun contribute very much to the bioload, but they do need clean aerated and cool water...

My tank is just sparsely decorated. I want to play with it too, but it doesn't want to.

I'll try MP again tomorrow morning.
