1 puffer and many shrimps is like a buffet for the puffer in a 6g. lol.

Here's my question, what kind of plants to you intend to keep.

Drew

Problem  is i dunno what plants are suitable for small tank and with my small budget. If possible i want to keep my spendings as long as possible. Glosso + java moss on driftwood + maybe some leafy plant (giant hydras?) can ah? maybe use DIY CO2. posible to not use CO2?
Haha based on online reading, puffer sometimes ignore shrimps, sometimes they'll gobble them up. depends la. so i thought just give them a try la since shrimps so cheap. if cannot, most prob i'll get ottos.
How big is anubias =D. got pic of ur tank? interested to know more of ur setup =D

just wondering why there are so many bubbles? is it co2? or it is the water that drop from your filter that causing it?

Trying to read here and there la =D. So means my action plans is:

1) Buy tank + light + HOB filter
2) Rinse tank lightly to clean?
3) Put substrate and plant
4) Fill with tap water (do i need to dechlorinate?)
5) Add bacteria
6) Let it sit for 2-4 days and change 50% water in between
7) Introduce puffer + shrimps together
8) Weekly 30% water change + filter cleaning?

Is my steps ok?
Or should i introduce the shrimps first before step 6?

Thanks =D

=D i listened and went out to get some plants. altho the LFS i went to know nuts about 'hornwort' or 'anubias' so i just hentam some plants. they are out of java moss too. i bought a driftwood tho. how should i clean it? just put inside the tank, or rinse it or let it soak?

i had problem keeping them in the soil as they keep floating, so i tied them to a rock to anchor them. am i doing it right? also my temp gauge shows me 29.6C at night . i scared in afternoon will be gila hot there.

would a diy air cooler help?

90pcs of CADINALs... FUHH.. rm3 for each at market....
5V maybe ok... because the voltage too low will be powerless.. no point of blowing.. Just Piece of T4 ofcoz not enough... make it 4xT4 like me... total 32watt.. .. T4 is around 32CM in light... T5 is around 57CM.. suitable for 2FT tank.. your tank is just 40CM.. so just go for T4 lo.. if T5 will over 17CM...
