Glad to hear you have a plan to seperate the DP's from the goldfish as that is a disaster waiting to happen, look forward to seeing your goldie setupas this one looks very tranquil.

thanks for the comment. dont worry im well aware of the sizes and problems with dwarf puffers. the puffers are only in here while they are young. when i upgrade to 100 litres next month they will stay in this tank alone as a species only tank. once the clown loach and plecs outgrow my 100litre tank i'll either upgrade again or give them to a good home :) its all totally under control...

Your tank looks nice and all, but you realize that even when you upgrade to 100 liters your tank is still going to be incredibly overstocked? Clown loaches are slow growers, but they get to be over a foot. Crazy to keep them in anything less than a 55 gallon tank. Your common pleco is also inappropriate for 100 liters, grows enormous. Dwarf puffers will eventually nip your goldfish to the bone, have seen them tear apart a bala shark 5x their size. Your tank is pleasing in its aesthetic but you need to learn about husbandry, is all I can say. Keep your two goldfish and call it good, otherwise you'll have problems - namely, sickness and death. Little tanks need little fish. Get a male betta for this nano tank - look for a plakat betta is you are looking for something out of the ordinary.
