don't be a twit
as some of you may be aware, i've been trying to find something to breed besides kribs. so, a couple weeks back i finally decided on some Badis burmanicus as my new adventure. they came in friday before this past one. due to extreme busyness and the work week from hell, i couldn't make time to buy any frozen food until thursday 
however, they are now wolfing down the frozen brine shrimp and it doesn't look like i had any losses. 
can anybody pm me some links on additional sources of information on badis? i've not been able to find too much on the burmanicus; everybody's obsessed with Dario dario.
moving on past my badis to my being very bad... when i went to the Petco on Thursday to buy the frozen food, they had dwarf puffers!!!
although i don't techinically have room for them, i went on ahead and bought the two they had. i've put them in my 2.5g (the betta having recently been relocated to my parents' place) for now. they're not nearly as active as my SAP, but i'm amazed at how tiny they are. imagining a 1/2" puffer and seeing a 1/2" puffer are completely different ideas. now i understand why noone ever believes that DP's need 5g of territory each! 
here's my current plan. the kribs are going to be removed from the 60g just as soon as their current spawn can defend themselves (1~2 weeks). the badis should only take 2~3 months to reach an adult size; all but my best pair will go into the 60g at that point. the preferred pair will be moved into the 10g. the SAP and the DPs will then be relocated to the 20g. hopefully the DP will not display their characteristic savagery before that point.
i need to upgrade the filter on the 20g at some point and i was thinking of trying out a cannister filter. anybody have any recommendations? the new penguin hobs look pretty hot and tempting, but has anybody tried them yet? my roomie and my bf both complain about the splashing, so i want to see if i can't find a very quiet setup.
