75 Gallon tank makeover for our Amazon Puffer Fish. We were having problems with our Amazon puffer fish surfing the glass. They became so obsessed with surfing they lost interest in food and one stopped eating altogether. We decided to line the tank with our PVC divider material to see if it would stop them surfing. It did! They are now so much happier. The Puffers are eating everything offered to them including krill, snails, bloodworms, clams, repashy gel food and pellets food. Amazon puffer fish will not normally eat those foods. The tank is now heavily planted with rocks and spider wood.

Great makeover tank looks amazing I had the same problem with 1 of my fahaka puffers surfing the glass he actually completely ruined his 120 gallon acrylic tank he was biting the talk and taking gouges out of it and completely scratched the hole front panel,I’d only just moved him to the 120 he was fine in his old tank anyway it took me almost a hole day to rescape I also had to turn the tank round so that the scratched panel was against the wall and was then covered with plants and the sides a did exactly what u did and used tank divider stuff to black them out and a few well placed plants, the difference in the fish was night and day he was so much more relaxed and happy he’s now a 10inch beast

A few other thing you may want to try are India Almond leaves, and top floating plants. Just use six small leaves...don’t boil them, or use too many that it will stain the water if you don’t like that. I also use a lower light and a low Red-Orange-yellow hue. Also, I leave a very lite algae film on the glass...not enough to even notice when viewing front on. Don’t keep to many in one tank, even if it’s huge...they tend to go after each other. I feel like the fewer you have in a tank...then their personality will just explode. You will be their true love, and may even puff for you. Goo luck!

This behavior of "surfing" is actually common with nervous or lonely fish also. As I commented on many topics related to the puffers, they are social creatures who have a hierarchy - a pecking order of sorts. Male gouramis and other labyrinth fish, specifically, do this all the time as well. Although it seems like a drastic idea to put more than 1 puffer or share a tank with another puffer, they need company of their own kind ironically. My experience with rasboras or other similar fast moving fish housed with puffers is that those other fish actually bully the puffers. These schooling and shoaling fish like White Mountain Clouds or Harlequin Rasboras will pester other fish in the tank actually. The puffer depending on its size will mind its own business most of the time and only bother another fish if they are in the way of the puffer's exploration or food.

Great job on the new setup! I'm so glad you had an immediate improvement in the puffers, they are so adorable. Very nice idea to line the inside of the tank. I noticed with my bettas that adding black outside the glass only made their reflection more obvious, but they've adjusted, I'm not sure your puffers would have.

Yes, I would also do erythromycin and rid ich. Because they’re wild caught they will likely come with all sorts of parasites. I did a round of general cure, then the ich treatment and then erythromycin. That all took about 3 weeks and then I did another round of general cure. Whenever they are moved to a different tank they will often develop ich again so we then had to do another treatment. It’s been a long process but so worth it. Try and get them eating snails and freeze dried krill as soon as you can. Eating that as their main diet will mean you have to trim their teeth less.

Hey Sheila, quick question. I'm getting ready to setup an upgrade from a 15g to a 50g tank. I was going to make it a heavily stocked community nano tank but I could happily shave the numbers and types of fish down if I could then keep an Amazon Puffer Fish or 3 (I think 1 ideally) But I already have a honey gourami pair and some neon tetras (8 that I wanted to make 20) Idea is to go for an aquascaped heavily planted tank. Any way, the question iis, do you think honey and neons would be okay with an Amazon Puffer Fish? I'm thinking not but your video is giving me hope ;)

Hi, Amazon puffers generally do well in community tanks but there are never any guarantees. I would do more than one as they prefer to be in groups. Make sure you quarantine them and treat for parasites. They can be difficult to keep with lots of glass surfing and some can be very picky eaters. We have been very fortunate with ours but had to modify the tank to stop the surfing. As much as I love these fish I wouldn’t keep them again.

Under normal circumstances that would have been a possibility but the tank is difficult to move and there was nowhere to put the fish for the length of time that would have taken to do. Also we did try putting black styrofoam on the back and sides of the tank and it made no difference so we wanted to block the sides from inside the tank.

Yes i love the look of them swimming in a group of about 10 or more😊 and i wanted to start with a decently sized tank too as water parameters dont swing as drastically. Still trying to do some research before i begin!

What does it mean for a fish to surf the glass? Like what does it look like?
@Lifewithpets72
@Lifewithpets72 6 жыл бұрын
Surfing the glass is frantic swimming up and down from the top of the tank to the bottom in one place.

How come you used eco complete? Do you prefer it over fluval stratum?
@Lifewithpets72
@Lifewithpets72 6 жыл бұрын
For a bigger tank the eco complete was much cheaper. I do prefer Fluval stratum over the eco complete though.

Lifewithpets Thank you! Would you recommend putting something over the fluval stratum, or can you keep it by its self in a Betta tank?

No, I wouldn’t put anything over it.

I don’t see why not. Minimum tank size 30-40 gallons. Ours live with Harlequin rasbora, ember tetras, betta fish, kuhli loaches, corys, plecos and shrimp. They have never been aggressive to any of the fish. The tank is very heavily planted.

K.J.D-Channas /Pythons Projekt Pond if you can breed more mbus then you can make a fortune from selling. That's of course if you want to see or have like a massive mbu pond
