Maybe you're right...

OK, plz tell me: what predator or puffer would be the right size for my 28g bow front. the best looking ones out there.

 

[bruner54]

to be honest there is not much if you get like a 75 gallon you could get like a trigger an eel and like another fish but a 28 gallon is just to small prolly not what you wanna hear but im just telling you what is your best bet.

 

[the puffer guy]

Well, thanks... ill keep looking for small things... i got my leopard puffer and valentini...

 

[the puffer guy]

[bruner54]

sry lol if i had a 30 gallon i would do a sixline wrasse, a royal gramma, a maroon clownfish, a pearly jawfsh, and a firefish or 2. or if you wanted to im not sure bout this but if you wanted a aggressive fish you might be able to do a dwarf fuzzy lionfish but you couldnt put smaller fish with it cause it will eat them

Any suggested particular wrasse?

 

[bruner54]

if you go to the list of wrasses on this website there should be a big list of wrasses that will work in your tank you pretty much just have to pick what color you like best lol

What happened to the porcupine?

 

[the puffer guy]

not looking good... my amonia was high... i think hes gonna make it, hes getting beter, but im probly gonna take everyones advice and take him back... sad... i spent all my money on him... thats why i was so stubborn... i spent every last penny to my name on him...

 

[bruner54]

just to help you out a lil bit here not criticizing or anything but if you research the fish before you buy them like making sure they will do fine in the size tank you have then you shouldnt have these kinda problems and jus start doing water changes to get the ammonia down

 

[the puffer guy]

ya, i been doing changes and just added some prime...
I knew ppl said min tank size whatever for porcs, i just didnt really believe it. I think i do now...

 

[bruner54]

yea i know what your saying now you know and you can correct your mistake and either you can get a bigger tank and get what you want or you can keep your tank and just get smaller fish

 

[the puffer guy]

Sorry, i dont know alot about wrasses outside of cleaners and sixlines... if you go to the wrasse part of the menu, wat is the wrasse pictured on the right? I see them up at my lfs alot... guessing its way 2 big....

 

[bruner54]

truthfully i dont know its not on the list but if there at your lfs you could find out the name and either sk someone at your lfs if they know what there talking about or you can come back here and someone might kno more about it

Ok, I have been very hard on you since your first post...But you need to get your tank under control before you proceed with anything.
You have admitted that the tank is too small for your fish, this is a start.
You have ammonia, this is horrible and needs to be fixed. Several water changes will be in order. Possibly you can nurse the Porky back to help and find a home for him. Quit overfeeding your fish! You really shouldn't be worried about upgrading or new fish for your tank until your current tank has shown stability for a few months.
I don't understand how you are discussing buying new tanks and fish when you claim to have spent your last $ on a $30 fish.

 

[the puffer guy]

I spent $150 on the guy because i upgraded from a 10g like a month ago... and he cost $40... Im only 13... but i can work for money to upgrade... And actually, i dont know if its amonia, thats just my dads guess... I think it may well be that he overate last night. 2 big pieces of salad shrimp and a couple pieces of freeze dried krill... didnt leave a bit uneaten... Today, not eating at all...

question do you have any test kits to test the water??

 

[the puffer guy]

Anyone have a ballpark figure of what something around a 75 would cost me? Stand included?
