The Puffer Forum

they are in my 40g breeder, so they have space (and plants, logs, caves, etc.).

perhaps the "pale puffs" that no longer sport clear, defined spots are just males? it's just weird (to my eye) that their entire bodies' look "washed out".

so, after the very sad losses of 2 F8s and 1 GSP for reasons i couldn't determine -all from this same local shop, the only place that has had any puffs near me (anyone know a responsible and reliable shop around chicago?) i've gotten some DPs. the first F8 i never treated for IPs, s/he lasted over o...

Turnover are only important in relation to efficiency. Folks try to compare turnovers without considering efficiency. For example HOBs are notoriously inefficient, so required high numbers of turnovers per hour. Canisters are much more efficient, so require fewer turnovers per hour to do the same j...

Luna, I also heard great things about those rena filstars too and came close buying one but with it being pricey. I sadly had to turn away. yeah, they do seem to run a bit steep. but i've managed to find the XP3 level at various places online for $120 USD or less (including shipping) -the same thin...

Soak newspaper in vinegar & leave on the surfaces overnight. hey i just had to "renew" or replace a spray bar for major hard water crust. wrapped it in paper towels and left with the end in a pitcher of cider vinegar for wick effect (wet it all first w/vinegar and also had lill' crust...

hey, this may seem to come out of left-field, but my years of turtle keeping have made me a HUGE fan of the rena filstar XP line for high-waste-making freshwater critters. i have routinely used XP3's for everything from 30-100g (USg) turtle tanks -yeah, i mostly "super over filter" those s...

My post was suppose to say snail tank, not snail tail! I put some baby cherries in with my SAPS lady night and they didn't even last 30 seconds. Looks like I'm gonna get a small tank for cherries now. I'm also gonna tear down my snail tank and start over bare bottom i'm glad your SAPs enjoyed their...

So i can put some Cherry shrimps with my Applesnails without fuzz from the shrimps? i have setup a 30g tank with 10 Apples and im still waiting for that eggclutch :wink: I have 3 Amono ninja shrimps already in the fahakatank but he's hasn't catched them yet, they just keep dodging him when he's pro...

Sigh, that shrimp forum must have got to my fiance. Instead of puffer food, I have a cherry shrimp family member named Bubba Gump. -wait- you guys have just one single, lonely cherry shrimp? please inform your fiance that they only live 1-2 years, dependent on habitat temp and food quality. 2 years...

this dude's collar ring almost looks like a piercing! and srkoe, your baby is cute as in CUTE, not just ugly-cute, hehehee

Omg!!!! She's so cute!!!! My dog is uber ugly...but we love her!!! She beautiful to us. She came to us from a bad situation...we are blessed to have her now :) when i very first saw your's my thoughts were: "OMG what a cutey! that tongue! -like those chinese cresteds that always win 'world's u...

Well, that answers my question as to why my snail tail suddenly stopped producing :(. Gotta get another tank now...:) i just started a new snails only "tank" when i noticed that they were vanishing in with the shrimp. i'm actually now just using a rubbermaid with 2-3g of water, a homemade...

p.s. can you see my dog? (without clicking a link or something?) i've been just using "upload attachment" to add pics to my posts. in apple safari browser i can see these as regular pics in the post -whether i'm logged in or not- but it just occurred to me that i'm doing it wrong and i did...

i love this! thanks for sharing:)

oops! just re-read and saw that you did pick cherries. sorry for missing it. i say throw in some ghost shrimp too (it's hard to know what species you've been sold, as we've seen here before @ srkoe) and just observe if they breed, grow into monsters, or whatever
