I took all the advice given to me about my tank. It seems it wasn't fully cycled so I bought 10 feeder guppies and 10 ghost shrimp. Mainly to see if the puffers would eat em, but they are slightly too big right now. I tested my Nitrate/trite and ammonia on Friday when I put those fish in and it was all 0 except for ammonia which was 0.25, I tested it again yesterday and its still the same. Everything seems healthy in there. I changed 2 buckets of water just in case something was about to rise. Now that there are more fish swimming around there Ive almost been watching it by the clock. These puffers are gonna live dang it or I'll eat my hat.
One of the puffers have realized the mysis I put in there is actually food and he got fat quick. If I can teach the other 3, I won't worry as much. There are a few snails in there and I guess they have been picking at them, but Im trying to ween them from thinking thats all they can eat. I feel like I have children.
They are also starting to chase each other around like I've see the adults do, especially when eating, but I hope that doesn't start a territory war.
Also, do your puffers ever puff? I always think of blowfish in the ocean using thier ability to look bigger, but Im curious if the type we keep, that ability almost been bred out of them.
