The Puffer Forum

Well, since no one seemed to know how to go about it, I bought Glock a few crab legs and dropped one in. I did not have high hopes that he'd really know what to do, but the green guy surprised me. He zoomed on over and started taking chunks of meat right away. He tried cracking the shell apart a bit...

Afternoon all! My GSP Glock is doing pretty good in his new home and seems happy spending his time in the plants. My research indicates that many people feed their poochfaces once a day, six days a week. Glock ate his first day home, and then the second day, but not the third. I think I should try a...

Hahaha! thought so. Yeah thought about naming a manly Hairy puffer Ruger after seeing someone naming their GSP Glock...lol. Btw, I own a .9mm and a .45 but I love my Ruger P97 which is my .45 . I love the Stainless Steal slide. Only shot is a few time at a gun range but had to go with Winchester am...

Wow, that's horrid. I dislike Walmart for various reasons, but I've never heard of such blatant disregard for life! I'll never shop there. Any chance at going back to see what happened to them? I'd ask if they could let you take the fish to another store or the LFS maybe? I know the LFS I go to woul...

Glock is his name. You collect guns or just an owner? I might name one of my future Congo or Hiary puffers, Ruger..lol. I own a Glock .40 and keep my face recognizable at the indoor range not to far from here. I think Ruger would be an excellent name for one of the hairy puffers. They look so manly...

Well, after a trip to the LFS, where I took a look at the DP's and then again at the GSP... bouncing back and forth between the two tanks trying to decide.... my (exasperated) boyfriend finally threw up his hands and proclaimed "You won't be happy until you have that green one, so just bite the...

Wow, I really like your tank. It is very visually appealing and highly soothing to look at. Makes me want to lay on the Java Moss and take a nap.

The cichlids were moved about half a week ago and I transferred over four striped danyos from the 55g to keep the bio filter fed. Those will be removed once puff shows up because their long, delicious tails will no doubt be just too tempting. I think the decision on which poochface will call for som...

So I found a thread that talked about the benefits of transitioning the GSP to full marine over the period of a month or more. http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=15647 Now I'm on the fence as it seems that the thread reflects success and even improved puffer conditions after...

He should be OK, there is actually an area in the middle of the tank that is fairly open. I'll be moving a few plants once the poochface gets comfortable. Im..er.. over compensating for the current LFS lack of plants. I also have a bucket full of various aquarium trinkets and decorations to change u...

Yep, tank is good to go. It was simply moved from my bedroom into the front room (center of attention!) Previously it was a cichlid tank for roughly 2 years. Has a nice Fluval cannister with a smaller OTT filter just to provide some fun flow to swim in. Can grab another dry Fluval that is meant for ...

Better to find some ramshorn snails if you can,...they will breed faster and their shells are better for puffer teeth I'll get on it! I have a few in the 55g but I don't recall them ever breeding (or surviving the Loaches.) So I'll pick up some more tomorrow. If the poochface is roughly an inch lon...

Oh don't worry about the plants, I don't think the change to brackish will effect the silk! LOL I admit that I have not had great success with live plants (I've given up) in the past, so poochface will have to play in the silk. Plus I read that puffers sometimes eat plants and after watching my loac...

Good afternoon everyone! Just wanted to stop by and give a huge thank you for all of the pertinent and updated information you have accumulated on this site. I have been researching GSP's for about a month now, intent on getting a new wet pet when the time was right and the tank was ready. Well, tha...
