Adding PUFFER Fish To 4.4 gal Dirted NANO Tank (4 MONTH UPDATE: NO CO2, LOW TECH AQUASCAPE)

[@MDFishTanks]

Adding PUFFER Fish To Dirted Tank (4 MONTH UPDATE: NO CO2, LOW TECH AQUASCAPE) This has to be the best looking tank I've ever made. At least the most lush looking. But it's time it had a fish in it! NANO Filter: US amzn.to/2OimYSt (similar) UK amzn.to/2ANrZiO NANO Tank: amzn.to/2WcvoPT (white plastic comes off)

My son (6) has a pea puffer tank with shrimp in and now that it's been set up for a while, we're seeing that brightly coloured baby shrimp are getting eaten but wild type ones aren't - natural selection in action!

no probs :)

[@Natquascape]

An a absolutely lovely little tank. I think there are a combination of factors that contribute to the success of this tank, the amount of dirt (and it looks like it's good dirt) seems like it's not excessive. I think adding sand allows good colonisation of filter bacteria and finally, I remember you doing a video of testing your tank water. Your water parameters are spot on for the plants. Really good stuff MD, keep it coming.

[@l.chr.6653]

THAT is the cutest fish EVER! I'm watching your video thinking about redoing my 5 gallon like this. Let me ask, would a sparkling gourami do well in this tank? Do they like this substrate and type of plants and light as well? They're one of my favorites! Thank you!

haha. It was filmed a while ago so just wanted to run through quickly.

[@mellissaedens6047]

@@MDFishTanks it was by watching one of your older videos that I was able to figure out what plant was in my first tank (AR). Now I pay much closer attention to what I buy and plant! Lol

[@mikemurphy8623]

My puffers love scuds. They get to chase them.

[@haxorusimp2980]

To tell a pea puffer's gender - if it's vibrant and round ( it's female) or it's brownish and streamlined (it's male). A 100% way to know is to wait for your puffer to go into the light and if has a black line on the belly, then it's male. Yours just happens to be a boy! Congratulations!

[@conniepeterson3004]

[@Melissa-jx3qc]

Have you ever experimented with microfauna? I am trying to set up a (nearly) self-sustaining tank, meaning only a few water changes a year and normal feedings for the fish. The tank will also not have a filter or CO2 similar to how you do many of your tanks. From what I have read this can be achieved with the addition of microfauna.

[@tenot2]

Hi MD. Just wanna tell u that I do have a pea puffer. Tried to keep shrimps with it. But he keeps eating them once they molt. But I’ve heard a few people have no problem keeping both in a tank. So yeah just giving u a heads up. ✌🏽 Oh yeah and it might be a female. Because it’s brightly colored. Usually males are darker. Or maybe it hasn’t matured yet haha
