The Puffer Forum

The life span of a GSP has minimal requirements from what I have researched. I have read of GSPs dying prematurely from both marine and brackish conditions. So what exactly kills these fish. I don't know. I'm not an expert , and I don't claim to be one. But the best bet is to RESEARCH, not just with...

I highly suggest AGAINST keeping DGs with GSPs. GSPs do not belong with sedentary fish. They will get picked to death. Yeah I can see where you're coming from reguarding DGs as sedentary fish. But are you more concerned about them actually being picked on, or the fact that they will not get to the ...

If you are worried about your puffers eating nothing but flakes then stop giving them damn flakes (duh!) Give them what they are suppose to eat. Simple as that.

My smallest GSP didnt accept squid at first, but after a while he grew to love it. Its not rocket surgery.

petsolutions.com sells baby clams on a half shell. they ship it in dry ice. they are a great company. try them out.

Get a GSP scientist to tell you what works and what doesnt (brackish water in general). But wait there arent any here. Feed them as much variety as you can...and what you can afford. They will live happily probably better than where you got them from. Take much with a grain of salt. Big aquarium and...

So tonight I finally had the pleasure/curse of watching one of my GSPs puffing up to an almost perfect ball with spikes and all after an altercation with one of its tank-mates. My puffers are at the 2 1/2 inch mark. After reading articles of feeding them, it states that at their current size you sho...

I'm gonna get a dragon goby and see how things turn out. It will add some diversity to my aquarium and hopefully pick up some scraps. I've read the article "Theres a dragon in my tank", and I'm fully aware of the care of them, so hopefully I will have a happy and fat DG when I get him/her....

I have a quick question...Why do GSPs so called "migrate" from BW to SW. Does anyone actually have a scientific answer as to why? Majority of the animals that risk life and death to migrate in the world is because of FOOD. They simply follow and adapt to the food they are seeking. Does the...

anyone?

Hi guys, I'm new here, so please bare with me. I have a 75 gallon aquarium, 2 AquaClear 110 filters, and 3 GSPs. They are in SG 1.012 with aragonite sand (rough, not fine). I have had them since Oct. 2010. They are at around 2 1/2 inches. I feed them every variety of recommended food I've researched...
