Found a good deal...or is it?

I found a 12.5 (or 16.5, he isn't sure) BioCube for sale on Craigslist it's $30, has LS, and has 6 lbs of LR, a crab, and a baby puffer fish. I was thinking of making this my QT and adding the crab and puffer to my 45... what do you all think?

 

Why not.. have you seen any pics of it

 

I have, here is the listing

tank with green spotted puffer $30

my tank is almost a month old, what do i need to know about keeping puffers, and is my tank ready?

 

well that puffer is brackish and wont survie in a salt tank

 

Oh ok, Thank you, I think I am still going to get it and set it up in my 3 year olds room because I think it's a great deal!

 

30 bucks is a great deal.

 

it is an eclipse tank not an oceanic biocube. also the tank is plastic. just so ya know. buy hey for $30 it may be worth it.

 

That would be a great deal for a Bio Cube..Unfortunately thats an eclipe system. They are not that expensive in the stores. IMO I would just buy the new set so you know what you are getting.

 

If you plan on keeping the puffer he is going to need a much bigger tank of about 20-30gallons. Make sure you read up on them. They need hard shelled foods for their teeth. Also most gsp are very aggressive and should have the tank to thselves. They are very neat fish and I love mine. Just make sure you read up on them

 

Thank you all for your advice!!!
