The Puffer Forum

I have (and so far still have) a small female emerald crab with my valentini, I caught him circling and nipping the crab twice since it was introduced, but I only tried it bc my toby was never interested in live shrimp before. It goes nuts for snails, frozen food and flakes, but nothing else. so far...

I noticed the tinyest moving worms in my feeder tank (which yes, prolly has an abundence of waste and excess shrimp & snails +food) so that would make sence... they definatly look like nematodes, not planeria... I completely cleaned out the feeder tank bc of this, but when I lifted a log I had i...

Heyo, well... Ive been treating my GSP with praziquantel for a while now. I stopped treating the water & started soaking his food in it. but I noticed some small white worms floating in my quarantine/feeder tank... (graveless 5 gal) & after further examinaton they are in the puffer tank too ...

Cheep-Cheep my GSP, doing great now after a rough start

I feel your pain, sorry to hear of your losses. the advice here is the best of the best from puffer owners to puffer owners. I just went thru basically the exact same scenario. I now have one puffer (of two) who survived but "cheepcheep" is doing great in his cycled tank now thanks to the ...

well I tried to search what IP poo looks like, apparently the "gold string of pearls" is still an indication (???) so tho hes in the larger aquarium now Im going to continue soaking his food in medication still. I need to find some sort of measuring device to weigh 23mg/lb of weight for Pr...

Cool dealio, appreciate the help ya'll "cheep-cheep" is on day 10 of 10 in the medication with "praz-tastic", the smaller temp aquarium is now nearly fully cycled (just waiting to finish removing the last bit of nitrate). & I found a killer deal on a brand new marineland 28bo...

Heyo, I have them in a quarantine tank atm, been looking around for an aquarium. sadly just a 30... one died yesterday, he wasnt recovering from the previous shock. passed over night im sorry to report. the other is making a full recovery, still a slight stress mark between the white and green but I...

no, they wouldn't take them back to hold for me. hard to say but the one doesn't seem to be making any progression towards recovery. It this point I'm looking for a 30 gal to setup for the one. my gf has a 20 gal community tank that the lobsters living in happily atm, the divider was just an overcom...

Heyo, I was feeding them dried blood worms, ghost shrimp, & thawed shrimp but they havnt been eating the last 3 days. I went & picked up live bloodworms and praziquantal powder today. Isolated the two in my 7 gallon quarantine tank & began treatment after feeding them. the recovering one...

Heyo all, not my common place to jump into a random forum like this, but Ive been doing nothing but research on gsp's since adopting two last week. unfortunately, Im sorry to say this is no "feel good" story. I was misinformed about gsp's as it appears most people are. Not by wal-mart tho,...
