okay I'll do a 50% water change as soon as I get home today...I think I'm also going to see if I can start treating for internal parasites just in case... though that may prove difficult since he's not eating... Yea he may just be old since I have no idea how old he was when I got him, I just want t...

50% water change would be okay for the 8 gallon because I've got a sump on it..so there should be enough bacteria in the bioballs and filter so the cycle won't crash...but if you think I can get away with it I'd rather start with 30% and slowly increase it each week till I get to 50..just so I don't...

Pufferpunk: I have not tried the garlic in a while (I did when i first got him) but worth a try again..totally forgot about it. and yes, I got him as an adult (already had his wrinkles) I do have live worms, it's the only thing I can get him to eat which I am fine with...but he'll only eat one or tw...

Hey Guys! Hopefully you can help me. I have a Dwarf Puffer that I’ve had for about 9 months or so…but I just can’t get him to eat really. He nibbles a little, but doesn’t attack anything like puffers should. This guy is super timid for some reason…when I first got him he was in the tank with a Panda...

okay so what I'm thinking now is to have a nice planted tank for just cherry shrimp that way I can try my hand at a planted tank and restrain the itch to go and buy a f8 the first chance I get...also because shrimp are quite a riot to watch and are pretty awesome themselves. Then I am thinking about...

Hi! so I joined a while ago..and sadly haven't been back in a while due to a lot of moving around and the lack of a possibility of a tank :( However..hopefully a stable living arrangement will be soon..and thus the plotting of the tank has begun! woooo ^_^ So my plan is to have a 10 gallon tank, ful...

What puffer are you thinking about getting?

I wanted to know...when setting up a brackish tank with aragonite sand I have come across live sand. Now if I used this could I add a fish or two immediately or would it still have to cycle as the bacteria will die when the salinity is not high enough?

I agree with the eye-sore..but I actually like the sound of them. It's really soothing to me and helps me relax.

How do you euthanize them? I would be afraid of doing anything to them for fear of affecting my (eventual) puffer

okay, good idea with the filters...I'll have to save up for those. with the BB gobies, how many would be a good number? I was thinking around three...more? less? or does this sound reasonable?

Oh right, got a heater and a hydrometer also

Hey guys...so I continue to plot anyway I want to give you a rundown of what I want to do with my tank and ask you about a few questions I still have...Thanks for taking the time to read this. Anyway so I have a 30 gall tank. I have a marineland penguin filter for a 20 gallon tank and I am getting a...

okay..I thought may be the case..just thought I would ask everyone else's opinion.

Hey all, so I want to have a brackish figure eight tank, so I know that the pH has to about 8...also the suggested substrate is aragonite sand. I just want to make sure that this acceptable for plants or should I perhaps have something under the sand? What using organic soil under the sand...I know ...
