how come all the fahakas in std 2 ft tank..?? somemore say empty.. tot it will grow fast and 2ft wun last long also ma...

mine just shifted into a 2ft bare tank with a DW, a pot and some CC..

2ft cos got enough space for it to grow fast. And not too big such that the tank looks funny...

And I realised that the eyesight of the fish is very vital to the fish's ability to hunt. Puffers depend largely on their sense of sight to hunt. I finally switched on the tank lights, and threw 4 bettas in.

Just chomped up one full betta. Now trying to hunt the 2nd.

Looks like I should get it some shrimps tomorrow for a proper diet.

Ya. It bit the betta into half and the betta was dead. I took the dead betta out and placed it at the filter outlet.

So the betta was "moving". And the fahaka attacked it again.

I think I can use this method to trick the bugger into eating MP.

I decided to name my Fahaka CHUBB.

BTW, QH has fahaka also.

Yeah. I hope so too. Then when it's bigger, it will be MP with shell.

The condition should be better, judging from the way most other fishes are kept.

Yup. Monday.

I'm still looking for:
T. abei
T. baileyi ( i really want this badly...)
T. putulatus ( I really really want this badly...)



But with my current overcrowding of tanks in my house, it would be more appropriate for me to keep the baileyi. So I hope to find it there.

T. pustulatus...this 1 rare ah... haha..
