Re: got my new congo puffer today

Ok so if I buy live foods just soak their flakes in the jungle tabs for a few days feed before they should be parasite free?

Thanks

Re: got my new congo puffer today

When people buy live blood worms and black worms do theyhave to be treated for anything? I think I might try some of the ...

Re: got my new congo puffer today

Is the parasite clear by jungle the right stuff to treat with( it is a fizzy tab?) if so would I just soak the food in it? And for how long do you treat. I am going to try to just breed my own so I won't have to worry about it Also I called one of the local petstores and asked if they had feeder gup...

Re: Nerite snails

Hmmm I didn't even think of that

But I guess I could get some and if they showed interest in them I could put the snails in a different freshwater tank right?

Are there any other snails that would be appropriate? My SG is 1.006

Thanks

Re: A few questions about gsp

They keep them in fresh water.

So I guess I will just start him off in fresh water and graually raise the salinity, or just run the filter on my other tank and then graually increase the SG From there

thanks

Re: A few questions about gsp

Ok thanks I think I will probably stick with high end brackish for now and possibly go marine later they had a huge gsp at the Lfs( he was at least 3in and normally they get them in at 1/2in) so I hope he is still there I plan on cycling with biospira or dr.tims since it is high brackish water would...
