AQUAPROS love them but I cant have one
I am planning on getting some Pea Puffers for my New 10 Gallon once it cycles. Thanks for all the awesome videos!
AQUAPROS hello from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦. How big will these puffers get??
100% keep it all rotala it'll look so much cleaner
Pea puffers have so much character, Cant find them locally here. I have been told in the past that each pea puffer needed 5g would that mean your tank is over stocked or did I read wrong?
This video really makes me want to get some rotala indica.
Fish tank revi-
Wow it's Chris here ! How is rapachety?
@@socialsapien1231 Wow its social sapien, how is Robert?
This is the best unknown video Chris has commented on. Lets go chirs.
The puffers where resting....It was adorable. The cutest thing I've ever seen.
I have to admit I liked it before you cut it back
I can support other comments on here because of experience. 5 times too many puffers, unless your into watching puffers tear each other apart. I have 5 dwarf yellow puffers. They are in a 50 (UK) gallon / 230 litre tank. There were 12, but war cut their numbers. I've had 5, now, for a 12 month with no issues. I've used 3 bigwood chunks with java fern on to break line of site. I've used small grade gravel as substrate. There are plants around and rock structures to provide hiding places. It's not difficult, and they have become great friends. I'm severely disabled, but use everything I have in feeding my friends. Great video, if a little incorrect, and your videos as a whole are awesome.
Puffers are the best. We tend to make keeping them sound hard. It isn't. They are so friendly.
They're all gonna have a hunger games until there's 3 or 4 left. Way too many of them in that tank
Peta?
@@BritneyStinson puffers are territorial. like betas some fight to the death. it not peta its a fact.
@@katelin8682 someone has never seen hunger games. Also, in my experience, they are not as territorial as bettas. Im looking at 4 puffy Bois right now in a 10 gallon.
Ari get a bigger tank
People spread bs. I have a 55 gallon with 12, 3 males 9 females. They have all grown from fry. 2 years old now. So much for the hunger games. Not all bb pea puffers are aggressive. They are like dogs. Keep them happy they will behave.
That little puffer on the Co2 Diffuser was Sooooo CUTE!!!😍😍
When my Pea Puffer sleeps, he curls his tail around himself
VillagerSparky mine loves burying itself in the sand when she sleeps.
Mine lays on the floor😆
7:50 When you are the squad pull up
Man I love this tank! I absolutely love the aquascape and how you have sand bed showing off the "island". Those fish are so cool how they school together. Great video and well spoken.
I never knew they grouped together. Amazing.
Please make a video of you feeding the puffers snails. I always love watching Cory feed his Mbu puffer. It'd be really interesting to watch these little guys too.
Those snails are gonna have some problems with their new neighbors
Not for long 😞
RIP snail...
This is way too overstocked. Keep it to 1 puffer per 5 gallons. You could've figured that out with a google search
Eran del Castillo right!?
With fish that stay pretty small such as pea puffers tank space is determined mostly by 2 things; agression and bio load. He's experienced and maintains tons of aquariums on the daily that being said he will do a water change when it's needed so bio load shouldn't be a concern, pea puffers in particular are aggressive fish but with all the plants they'll have no problem hissing if needed and in the situation where agression becomes a bad reoccurring problem he has the knowledge and resources in order to re locate some of the fish.
WhatEvenIsThis _ all what plants? There's barely anything in that aquarium!
Eran del Castillo yes master of Google
WhatEvenIsThis _ he's not as experienced as you think. Check out his shrimp tank fail.
Dude, you added WAY TOO MANY PUFFERS to that aquarium. Pea puffs are territorial, you KNOW they're territorial, yet you did it anyway as an experiment. Your tank should only have five to six puffs, tops.
You gotta do better than this, man. Pea puffs are my absolute favorite freshwater fish, and my heart goes out to yours because they're going to be so, so stressed and unhealthy.
You must know a lot, how many should i put in a 0.7 gallon
@@bigfatarab9932 0 cuz its one puffer fish in every 5 gallon
They live in schools in the wild, and each puff is different. You could have 15 be cool Bros or you could have 15 lyanna mormonts, it's hard to say untik you put them together
How many should I have in my .01 gallon
deadmemes throw the 0.7 away and get a bigger tank period.
So cool to see them swimming around in a group like that
Good video. But btw you should know that pea puffers do not require something in their diet to file their beaks. Only their larger family members do. Just thought I should let you know the error in your information
AWESOME choice, looks like an amazing aquarium just without the fish, but the fish will make put it at a whole other level
Put 2 Filters into the syphon Head when cleaning sand :D
First filter like Flywire Mesh or larger to allow sand and particles to all be picked up then about 4" up tub a 2nd filter that wont allow sand through, This will also block most of the debris, but creates a 4" pocket off all the nasties in the actual head.
Then just cover with hand or something when removing.
Works great can Vacuum sand right down to the glass.
Thats how you make a little tank look good. Nice for inspirations and to look at.
AAAAAAHHH, I love mini puffers they have so much personality
That's cute how they all sleep around the tank just chillin
That tank is too small and doesn't have enough line of sight breakers for this school of puffers to last.
If you don't watch out they will get really agressive and start killing of others.
jashelps I kind of have to second this. so excited for him to have these bitties but they can be quite savage and need a bit different set up. I found myself pausing it to look for the male/female ratios lol
True. Pee Puffers are basically . . . Puffer. Territorial and all. The best thing you have to give them is Heavy Plant for that many of Puffers.
I had 4 in a 55 gallon community tank that was well scaped and planted. I had snails and ghost shrimp for them to hunt on top of feeding them crushed freeze dried krill, frozen blood worms, frozen brine shrimp, and freeze dried tubifex worms. I might have been able to add 2-4 more but 4 was right for me.
I was watching this video thinking how am I questioning putting 4 in a 100l and he's putting a million in what looks no bigger than a 60l aquarium with some tiny ass decoration they'll prob get bored of soon
Which is why they keep circling the island. boredom. Nothing to explore and peak their interest. Way over stocked with uffers at most he should have 4-6, and ten he needs to plant this tank heavily. All puffers are very intelligent and need enrichment in their tanks. That tank is designed for Small tetras not pea puffers. They meed large driftwood to hide behind and under, lots of plants to hide and explore in and rocks to nibble algae and aufwuchs off of if they feel like it.
I recently went diving in Indonesia and we were training on sunken bamboo platforms 10m down and there were so many HUGE puffers just chillin on them everywhere. So cool to see
I cried when you showed them resting... so freaking cute!!
LOVE them ! love them !.... so dang cute.. man yes please keep us all updated on this tank for sure ... wow they are so cute !!!!
what happens when they sattled in the tank ? The kill each other till you have 4 or 5 !
Kevin1993 exactly, he clearly didn't do jack shit for research, which disappoints me
they need more hiding spots and sight barriers like big plants,wood and rocks.
He tends not to do research. Remember the dwarf mexican crayfish in his avatar tank?
Kaylie 24 omg at 7:40 he said he did a little google research omg duh uhhh (lol)
Sattled?
Great tank always come back to this set up every few years to have a view....
My pea puffer is really skinny. I feed him well, but I think he might have internal parasites. What should I treat him with?
Murphylolz never buy just one of these guys there's always die off(however unethical that sounded)
You can crush garlic up and add the juice to freeze dried stuff. When they absorb the garlic, make sure the puffers eat it. Garlic helps them eat more and I think it also helps remove parasites. I'd recommend chick peas too, but I'm not sure they'd eat them so
Murphylolz don't do copper even if someone tells you to, puffers are really sensitive to copper. So are wrasses
Shreyas Acharya Thank you very much! If this one dies I probably won't get another one :(
Have you noticed any red spikes coming out of it's anus?
feed him some boiled peas, peel the skin of the peas and feed small pieces. worked for all my fish who stopped eating :-)
So it's been over a year since you set this tank up. How did the puffers do? Did you make an update video? Very curious as I would like pea puffers in my 55 gallon.
....no. This tank is way overstocked. The minimum should be 1 puff per 5 gallons, 1 puff per 10 being ideal As this is a 25 gallon, being generous and ignoring the small footprint, this tank is 300% stocked. There is little in this tank to break their line of sight, not to mention the footprint being too small for FIFTEEN puffers to set up their own territories. Eventually these territorial, aggressive animals, as they fight for space, will kill each other until only four or five remain. Don't be like this guy! Research your fish!
JUST LET THE BE HIM SELF!!!!!
Walter - This guy would have been left alone to himself, but he decided to share this video, inviting constructive criticism. and the problem is: he got more than half a million views - some of those viewers might try to do something similar. So no, he should not be 'let be himself'.
You' be built my dream tank. I hope to build something like this myself one day. Excited to see updates on this in the future.
Dwarf puffer owner hack: never buy feeder snails. Pet stores almost always have pest snails I'm their tanks. Especially generic places that might not know how to handle a snail problem! They are always willing to snatch them out of their tanks and give them to you for free!
It's a super cool fish to watch in the wild
7:40 did you do a google search to learn that you can’t keep more than like 3 in such a small tank?!
What size tank are they in? I love Pea Puffers!
I've bred these little cutiepies. They are really awesome!
i was thinking about it... any tips?
Make them fuck
AlphaBrolofsky hahahha
Selling the offspring by chance? I really really want captive bred ones
daniel kuhn you need java moss and lots of good food. It can be pretty hard raising the fry but I did it with no problems at all. Good luck!
I used to feed my puffers the rolly poley bugs. What's cool about them is that they store air in their shell in will walk around the tank so your fish can hunt them etc.. and you can here them crunch them from the outside of the tank haha.. makes me want to get some again. Check out amazon puffers too, they are a great fresh water puffer too
Those mean-ass little fuckers. I had one in my tank as a kid. He. killed. EVERYTHING!
It was like having Ted Bundy as a pet. Every morning, a fresh victim... And he'd just stare at me with those unblinking, soulless eyes as I scooped them from the tank. 20 gallon tank full of guppies and neons and zebras, and it was finally just him and like three mentally traumatized zebras that spent all their time hiding in the decorations while he patrolled...
Congratulations for not having a research for the fish youre going to buy and mix it with other non aggressive fish and blame it.. I think the mean one here is you.. The person responsible for the death of all the fish in your tank is you..
Mesmer ASMR then you would understand why you should never blame the fish.. They think with their stomach same like you think with your ass
Like rayyan hariz said minus the azz, shouldn't blame the fish. Well, it's good experience though now you know that these cute tiny pee puffer are fin nipper and predators. I once have them and they are easy to play with.
@rayyn hariz Yeah well I beg to differ with you, now get your head back down there.
Mesmer ASMR ow no how why dident you get rid of it
I love this. Waiting on my puffer to arrive tomorrow, and I thought I was done rescaping the tank. Now I'm not so sure.
If you've got lots of coverage and hiding spots, I'm sure your puffer will enjoy it.
I would like to see them feeding I like to watch that tiny puppy circling around good choice men keep it up n post the video ✌️
these puffers are so cute!
I have albino corys and 1 is blind. He/she always gets him/herself stuck under the tiniest things like the very edge of rocks and the cave for them. I'm constantly saving it from getting stuck.
Most everything is half buried because of this but it also limits decorations and filtration. Wish I could do stuff like this. It looks so fun
"here comes the gang" THIS IS THE CUTEST THING IVE EVER SEEN OH MY GOD
I love the up nose shot in literally every video
Why no air in the bag when they bagged the puffers? Looked completely filled with water to me. Just curious.
Jeremy Niewinski they are what is called breather bags. They expel CO2 and allow oxygen in. If you ever get fish in them, don't float them as it will stop the exchange and suffocate the fish.
I got a 20 gallon tank and a swordtail Molly and two ballon mollies I'm super excited like your videos!
I love dwarf pea puffers, as seen by my pic of the one i own, but there teeth dont grow out, i feed mine snails one or twice a week and it eats the snail leaves the shell
Aww the puffer fish were sleeping so cute
I might have missed it but how many gallons is this tank?
Jonathan Nguyen it's a 30g
9:21 HE LITERALLY SAYS 15 GALLONS BRO
Jake Micallef you are DuMb
Jake Micallef he said it was a 25g in the set up video
Mike's Aquatics 15 pea puffers idiot😂
Hey, I am a huge fan of this tanks setup and your channel. I'm really looking forward to seeing the update videos for this tank! I have a friend who set up a tank that was very close to this ones size. It was planted as well and he put 8 puffers in it.
I was watching his tank one day and several of the puffers were fighting one puffer. As I'm watching the whole thing play out, the one jumped out of the tank and onto the carpet. I was standing right there so I picked it up and placed it back in the tank. It was looking like it was bitten by the other tank mates, and the one eventually died.
Long story short in the end... there was only one puffer left!
theyre so cute!
Puffers are soooo cute I adore them. I'm letting snails grow in one tank so I can get a puffer
Hahahaha!! 😂 Pea puffer sleeping are super cute!
Love it! Perfect size for now and I love underwater landscaping. Where did you get the rock base?
You should call them the pea pod :)
Rotala is amazing, I started with 5 stems 6 months later after topping and replanting had 100 square inches of dense forest... my Kuli loaches loved it just played all day in that hot mess
Do your research. Pea Puffers are like Betta fish and should be housed alone. Putting them together increases aggression and chances of diseases. They are gorgeous, but probably all dying by now.
Bettas don't need to be housed alone you just have to be careful with what you house with them...nothing that looks like them
Richie Faccio well, thats not entirely true. You cant put certain genders of fish together. Female bettas can go together, but males? nooooo way man, all of em will be dead.
Keith Kogane i know that I meant male betas can be housed in a community tank as long as none of the fish look like a betta (and none are fin nippers but that isn't the point) i went with assumption that male Betta was what the original comment was referring to
Richie Faccio ah
ok
Keith Kogane Female bettas do not go together. They may be able to handle tolerating one another for awhile, but even in the most ideal situations, bettas of any gender will stress each other out and attack one another when housed together. Keeping female bettas together is dangerous for them and could lead to all kinds of problems.
Awesome! I have 1 dwarf puffer fish in a 5.5 gal. They are sooooo cute. Mine seems to be a really picky eater tho. Those ones look kinda big tho even tho they're only supposed to grow 1.5"ish. I thought mine was dying too when I first saw her sleeping because they can change darkness really quickly depending on their mood. I've read that they're a lot like female bettas tho with them being in a tank all together - territorial, establish hierarchy, fight, etc. That's why I only got 1.
Chelakin my puffers only eat pigmy shrimp the female will only eat the eggs off of the shrimp she was on the verge of starving to death they both spit out bloodworms
Criston Jedlick Have you tried feeding some snails, pond and bladder snails are different. They eat snails as big as they are, and mine doesn't eat the snails unless the snails are upside down like a bowl of food. When my puffer goes to bite and eat the snail she flips it over and then I have to flip it back over for her to eat it! Before I had snails I wiggled the bloodworms by the puffer and then sometimes she would eat it.
How many pea puffers for a 15 gal fluval flex
Paul Harris honestly i wouldn't stock to the max. Go for 3 and plant it heavily for the best effect. They have unique personalities, and you'l soon learn to distinguish them from another. They are also really messy eaters, so be sure to have enough filtration. Also, another problem people have had is that they don't eat regular flakes, so they'd have to feed them live snails. I myself get them on bloodworms asap and just throw in a few snails every second day. They need to have something hard in their diet to keep their teeth short, in my case snails, but shrimp or other inverts with hard shells would work as well
if you wanted to max it... about 3 gal per puffer so about 5. having said that aquapros tank is 25g and he has 15 so.. but yes plant it heavily
pooooooooooop
A little less than what he put in. He put them in a 15 also.
Unboxing Tech his was a 25gal
You seem like a really cool guy I'm not a subscriber or anything I just happened by your channel and it's nice to see someone care about their fish so much. I can see you actually care about your fish and you give them the best and that's awesome😄
For 15 Pea Pufferfish you need 75g of water not 15g
Its 25 gallons not great but atleast not 15?
Man that tank is beautiful 💚
Do. More. RESEARCH!!!
SophiaGrace328 he’s got enough plants and rocks for the puffers. They won’t kill one another as long as there’s enough plants and growth for them to hide and isolate themselves from the group. They can travel in 4-5 but nothing larger. He’s done his research and is an advanced keeper. I’d suggest you do your research before commenting this. So they’re fine, they’ve got a lot of decoration to hide and it’s a big enough tank for that small of fish to make territories. They’ll be fine.
Em Wolf what video are you watching?? He trimmed the plant so much that they can’t get enough protection from it, the rocks are tightly stacked so it would be very hard and dangerous for them to try and hide in them, and he has way overstocked that small tank. Just because he’s been keeping fish for a long time and has a lot does not mean he’s advanced. You can stare at the sun for 100 years and tell people it’s blue, just because you’ve been doing it for so long does not mean you’re right.
LET THE DUDE BE HIM SELF!!!
Walter Jones how does being yourself have anything to do with proper animal care?? He can do whatever he wants, but when it comes to proper animal care there is a right and a wrong way.
Just be quiet
Would love to keep some of these. But I wonder how my male apisto would react to them. Good work on the tank mike!
I wonder how Aquarium Coop sold you this many puffers for such a small tank
I wondered the same thing
Money talks
These guys are frikkin adorable!!!!!
I get my fish from that EXACT same store in Edmonds, WA lol! I'm about 15 mins away XD and I volunteer at The Kitty Catfe shelter above them!!!!
Thanks for the support! :)
Love these guys, I have them in with South American puffers with no problems. One thing to note is that you do not need to worry about there teeth unlike other puffer species. Be careful if your tank gets ich, these puffers will show little to no signs of the disease until it's to late. The hardest part to maintain about these puffers is their diet, they will go through an infested tank of pond snails and ram horn snails within a few days.
This tank seems very over stocked and under planted.
Omg please update in a couple weeks! I love these little guys.
That's way too many for that tank
My dwarf puffer, that was with loads of others, was last man standing. I riskily put him/her in my community tank as "survival of the fittest" as I wanted to reuse the tank he was the only one in (yes I'm a bad person, sorry.)
Still alive about 5 months later with some glass cats, tetra, female Bettas, Cory's, Otto's and a glass eel. Not a single fight observed. The Bettas flared and chased for a few days but now none of them care about the presence of the others. I'm amazed and know this is unusual!
Your going to have some fights on your hands because they are in such a small tank.
Life ol
I loved my DPF tank. I had one left eventually and wanted to reuse the tank so put it in my community tank, which has a female Betta and other stuff. They get on and there have been no fights, after about 4-5 months. Surprised and don't think this is normal but awesome to see!
Pea puffers dont get teeth problems cory said that in a vidio
Nope, they can it's just much less likely.
GIZMO_the_Magic yeah u can just feed them frozen bloodworms as Cory mentioned in one of the vids
I went to the seminar Cory had in Sacramento and he confirmed this. Pea puffers still will appreciate crunchy foods in their diet.
Cory has been wrong once or twice
in my experience with keeping pea puffers, rather than absolutely chrushing the shell such as a figure-8 or GS puffer, they carefully aim and strike at the foot of the snails, leaving the shell virtually intact. never in my experience keeping these had I seen them destroy shells out right with thier mouths. But then again, i am only one person.
These little guys are sooooo cute!
Wonder how many weeks till this tank gets moved 😂
Nice fish,nice tank set-up.Good advise for keeping them
I need to stock a community tank, any recommendations?
Andrew Allen some guppies molly plats and white clouds and zebra danios
Cory catfish, dwarf Gourami, platy, Molly, etc.
ice cream swirl 1010 a pair of dwarf cichlids Platys molly gulpies
Rummynose tetras are awesome.
Slimy Stuff yeah
What a lovely tank set up and puffers 😍
Are they aggressive? Can they be with other fish?
They are really aggressive and I don't recommend putting them with other fish.
Nova Grire Thank you
Nova Grire well this fish is real special there not always aggressive and they really have a different characteristics in each one. Mine personally is very docile I have him with a betta fact
Do I have to get them in groups?
Daiz4 Dayz i only have one but it's nice to get more than at least 4 3-or below might show a bit of aggression
i love watching p-puffers sleep.
Way to many puffs in that small of a tank.. not nearly enough cover. Basic research..
soooo cooool, i want these guys in my tank!
"I cant wait to see what they'll do later" uhh...swim around?
What kind of tank is that man I like how it’s more vertical then horizontal
I knew you were in the illuminati
+Steenfott Aquatics 😁
Do Research
LOL
I once had four pea puffera in a 20 gallon community tank. The next day two of them had been eaten by the other remaining two so yea, those are WAY TOO MANY puffers in that small a tank
Pea puffers are very terratorial and needs like 5G's per fish and lots of plants for visual barraiers.
Yeah 👍the general roll is 5 gallon for one puffer and then add 3 gallons per puffer. So a 8 gallon shouldn’t house more then 2 puffers.
Such cool fish! They're like water drones :)
Pea puffers don't have to have snails to trim their teeth their teeth are not forever growing like other puffers
That’s quite a huge shoal of puffers how well did they do in that size tank. Being that they are a territorial fish. I’ve always been told 3-10 depending on size of tank.
I've heard they eat pest snails
I saw these in my local aquarium store the other day and thought they were saltwater fish. I have to own one. They're so cool.
Cute pea puffers
Pea puffers don't have teeth like other puffers do! They're much softer so just frozen bloodworms or frozen shrimp will work. They can't really crush snail shells like say a gsp.
My Friend’s cousin’s aunts boss’s nephew’s dog walker has a puffer, so let me tell you have you’ve done everything wrong and also I read on google 5 years ago from someone who heard from their mechanic’s sister’s 3rd daddy: they need more hiding spots and SIGHT BARRIERS plus they are very territorial and you my sir have not been told but you have too many in your tank. ITS GO-na get bloody
It helps to plunge the siphon into the sand in different spots and pull it out. Gets all that gunky stuff 😊
Get a bumblebee goby
ibis otter 273 aren't they brackish?
Billy Collins depends where they're bred - ask the supplier if they're bred in fresh or brackish water
Billy Collins they da known to live longer in brackish so you are right.
He could the hald dollar sized fresh water amazon flounders. 6-10 of those would work great on that sand substrate.
I put a couple of BB gobies with a dwarf puffer in a 15G community tank. The puffer gets along with everyone but the gobies. It goes ballistic when it sees them. I heard the two species get along BUT my puffer is like a bull seeing red when it comes to the BB gobies. Might have to take them out before they're nipped to death. I thought the gobies would do a better job defending themselves given their reputation.
You mentioned Edmonds WA, where are you roughly located? I'm super close and looking to find some nice aquarium shops
