The Puffer Forum

well, the puffers were doing great, ips going away fattening up, but during feeding today I was one puffer short the largest male, lewis, has vanished without a trace D: I'm really worried, I can't find a body but the ghost shrimp could have gotten to his body before me... I don't think he's hiding,...

yeah, luckily they didn't seem to notice the meds at all, the fat little buggers :D EDIT: I sorta forgot when I put the food in that there were still some ghost shrimp, luckily I strained the worms and everything, but at least on shrimp ate they food that hit the ground... I was positive that they w...

I starting treating for IPs today, but the odd thing is, other than sunken-in they seem fine, one seems nice and fat and the other two are skinny even though they all eat like pigs.

Awesome, I'll definitely do that it's like a fuge in a saltwater tank

I read your question first and I was very freaked out...

That's a really neat idea though, I might have to do that... they may not realize that the shrimp are food at first since they've never seen them before lol
but how will the rcs get in there?

yeah, they are eating really well (they even eat the food that they don't get while it's falling (so they eat it even when it isn't moving) and staying pinched so I'll definitely treat for IPs (and pick up some mysis shrimp)...

my problem is there are a bunch of kinds of tabs...
is this the kind I need? http://www.amazon.com/Jungle-TB630W-Bud ... B0002561WY

yeah, I noticed that to... could you link me to a good med for IPs?, I'll need to order some and get it shipped quickly...

lol, they just aren't big enough! I decided on names! Lewis, Clark, and Sacajawea Finally Pics! http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh552/sun_queen1/photo10.jpg Sacajawea http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh552/sun_queen1/photo9.jpg Lewis http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh552/sun_queen1/photo8...

lol I found him, and fed them some frozen blood worms. they were eating cautiously lol they had to bite off bits, the blood worms were as long as them (all the food they missed the ghost shrimp caught lol)

I will if I can find him :O he's so small... and is hiding

How likely do you think it'd be for them to eat today?

yus, the pics will be coming in soon, but the lights in the tank are off now to let them settle in so it'll have to wait D: Btw right now one looks pretty bad he doesn't look as strong as the other two, and I think they all need to be treated for IP's, could someone give a link to a good medicine pl...

So... the puffers are in the house

I just picked them up 30 mins ago and I'm acclimating them now- At least one is boy he has the "wrinkles" that one is the largest and he is a little less than an inch!

IDK, I'm starting a nano reef later in the summer anyways, and I'd really like it for that...
And I'd like to have plenty of control lol
So might as well get it now...
