I saw some Congo Pufferfish at the fish shop about 3 weeks ago and couldn’t wait to make a tank for them and then collect the fish. I love how this turned out and the puffers seem to love it!

I hope the little guy does well 🥰
I'm binge watching all the MD Fish Tank videos I've missed. Hopefully, I'll catch an update on them as I go.
This tank looks like a pufferfish paradise ❤
beautifullll tank for some beautiful fish!! i recently got a congo and he's my absolute fav, such a water puppy!! he's loving mealworms and regular earthworm bits too! fingers crossed for the little underdog, think he's gonna do great with you!!
Question do they deliver to US?
What lid is that?
Do you have an email? I have some questions. Please
Mini Heart attack when you saw those empty packets 😅
Little flappy puppies 😂
I love your puffer fish tanks!! Just beautiful.
Actually… you are spot on, River beach is a thing lol! I live in California and we have a river beach close by. Sandy beaches in Rio Vista 😂
Very nice you shoukd look at getting or doing a tank with Madagascar Lace Plant or Apongeton madagascariensis
Clams and such animals similar, puffers love and are good for their beaks
Rooting for the little guy! 🥰 Meanwhile, I’m on an MD Fish Tanks binge like it's the latest Netflix series I’ve been sleeping on. Fingers crossed I catch the update before I turn into a pufferfish myself! 🐡 This tank is basically a 5-star pufferfish resort! ❤
This may be my 3rd favorite fish. 1st is my amazon puffers, 2nd are my ranchu.
As always… beautifully done.
I never knew pufferfish could get that big, 4ft? Geez…
I just found your channel, and I have to say that you have the greatest group of guys you work with. Just having a chat about what might work with the pufferfish was fun. Just 2 enthusiasts talking it through.
Fun channel!
39:07 They don't like 'em. The gob 'em straight out.
Love this set up MD really beautiful I love flappy puffer puppies 😃so cute
If you've got dedicated snail tanks, can't you just scoop some out and feed them to the puffers?
Where I’m from, that’s £1750 worth of fish.
How do you keep that green house alive? Or am I just a plant killer 🫠
Beautiful tank,I think this is my favorite so far!
Me who has no pufferfish. Hmm yes of course thats the first step, go on what next.
I can't watch these videos anymore because his tanks make my tanks look like crap
Feed them snails from your other tanks! Make sure to give them crunchy food to wear down their beaks! Over-grown beaks might need trimming!
You are AMAZING setting up tanks – just wow – gorgeous! Makes me nervous setting up our one tank – and I'm an artist – hahahaha
Gorgeous tank.
It’s funny how you said “there’s no light, how are they growing?” 😂😂😂😂
Why don't you defrost their food in a pot of water taken from their aquarium?
Otherwise love the scape. Thats the part that i enjoy the most.
Bro this tank is absoloute Sick the shadow foreground to the left you've created along with the complete scape and puffers is just perfect 🤌🏼 up there in top 3 you've done for me mate. Fully sick- so inspiring 👊🏽 keep doing what you do best. Almost Therapy for me and constantly giving me new ideas a keeping the hobby alive for me. Thankyou
I hate to be the negative one in the comments. But it seems like MD hasn't read up on different beeks on the puffers. You can absolutely NOT just feed Amazon Puffers bloodworms. Within months they will grow their teeth so big that they can no longer open their mouths Takes longer with the Congo Puffer. But same thing. They need hard shell food. Period. Otherwise you will have to be acting "fish dentist" with clove oil. Not fun, and very risky. 🫣
Amazing scape as always. Hope you realise how to train your puffers before it is too late. 🙏
