The Puffer Forum

I posted to the Puffer Forum FB page, but maybe someone here will have seen this before (there are more ppl on here) My GSPs are sick. Please help. Here is a video of one of the puffers, the skin isn't on the top of his back... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H5Wy2ma8s8&feature=share&list=UU...

No reason to go marine if you do not intend to use marine filtration, IE: live rock/skimmer. High BW is fine but expect to continue with expensive 50% weekly WC. I don't know anything about marine filtration. What is best for my puffers? Is there an article explaining this transition and how to do ...

You want to go marine, for a protein skimmer to work well & live rock creatures/bacteria to thrive. that would be at around 1.020. I do not have a protein skimmer or live rocks. Do I need a protein skimmer if I don't have live rocks? I currently have two 'Penguin BIO-Wheel 350' filters filterin...

No, I do not straighten it, but it still needs to be conditioned. If I don't use conditioner it will end up being like straw. I have to condition.

I hope they are okay.
Thanks.

Their bellies are white.

I just bought 2 new gsps. The lighting was bad at the store, but when I got them home I put them in a quarantine tank, to look them over and get them adjusted to brakish water. There tales are not looking so great, but I read to use melafix to help with fin regrowth. I know when they are coming from...

thanks
