LOL! It's not my picture, but yes, i have the same species. I have a thread all about my puffer journey in this section and in the planted journal section if you fancy a gander.

Oh excellent bud, I'll check that out

unfortunately I'm in the UK so wouldn't consider purchasing from the site, but it does give me some good ideas, thanks

Here are a couple links for home made caves... just to give you more ideas.

I just can't remember who it was Pyro, but it tickled me lol - hey thanks for the plecocaves link, unfortunately I'm in the UK so wouldn't consider purchasing from the site, but it does give me some good ideas, thanks
Sahira, your tank is gorgeous - everything looks carefully placed and I can tell a lot of thought has gone into it. I see you've augmented the filtration with an extra internal, and your water looks pristine. I've boosted the filtration on all mine too - I don't think the Juwel filters are aqequate on their own.

Edit: forgot to feedback on the maintainance comment - it is hard work Sahira, as we all know, but it's a labour of love looking after the fish. I believe in strict weekly waterchange routines, regardless of good test kit readings and lucky for me the backyard door is right behind the chair in the photo - so its a hose straight into the outside drains via gravel vac. In the days before the herd all congregated together, it was much more hard work.

Thanks!
Yhh i have 3 filters in total in the tank (the internal jewel filter, fluval u1 & classica powerbio 200) so they keep the water in very good condition!
