Excellent question.

I am awaiting a shipment of more CRS and then I will be separating them into grades. I want to have a tank with a good breeding group with the best colour, 2 grow outs and a tank for low quality, who be fattened up and fed to my puffers.

Woo.. death by puffer tsk tsk... now I will never be able to look at my Valentini Puffer the same again

Here's what the set up looks like.



Finally have some babies from I think they hatched about 3 weeks ago.



I also received my new shipment so i have now divided them into grades. I think the best ones are good A grade we'll see if careful breeding can up them to S grade.

Thanks for sharing your set up and nice shrimp. Please update in the future.

Yes, thanks... we're all watching.

You could always share your low grade shrimp for postage and save them from death by puffer.
