I'm very flattered that I'm included on such an awesome list Even though I'm still very much a newb.

The only thing I can think of is that the F8s will probably outgrow the 20g, since they get to at least 7". Other than that, I really don't know much about brackish.

Newb is right, LOL. They only grow to 3".

f8s only get to 3"?? Man thats small! Well don't listen to me then, sorry.

watch the water perams on the 2.5gal for your ghost shrimp, keep changing the water to keep the levels low until its cycled or you're gonna loose them (god they're hard to breed!) You could also try getting a plant or two, something like wisteria, to help with the levels and give something for the fry to hide in.

To puffer tank sounds okay.

The shrimp tank is a bit crowded, agree w/chunksofpooo on monitoring it for control. (I gave them a lot more room for breeding).

Thanks Guys!

I guess I'll have to get rid of the shrimp the old fashioned way....feeding them to the puffers...Thanks guys!
