The Puffer Forum

Thanks guys, I have had strong words with the "breeder" who did refund me (not that I was bothered about that). We have started setting up a brand new little tank (10 gallon) from scratch. Going to leave it a good month or so, get it really planted up and ready for a new little puffer. Wil...

Sad to report that the little puffer has died........will be speaking to the people concerned tomorrow as I am not happy!! Poor thing, we did all we could, tried to hand feed him some krill but he wasn't interested. He sank to the bottom of the tank and looked like he had the hiccups........about 5 ...

Hopefully removing the Angel's (and plec) will help a little until i can get my new tank set up ...

I will be taking back the Angels and plec tomorrow and will be looking for a new tank for the puffer (if he survives).......I have definately fallen in love with him! I was cautious adding to this tan...

Hi I have read quite alot of the posts on here which have all been really useful, however i would still like to ask some advice on our new baby dwarf puffer.
