The Puffer Forum

ok guys i didnt just let the forum die i have been tryin to figure out how to get my video from my camera to my computer so i can show everyone my tank. well i think i will wait a lil bit but i do have a good question. i currently have aquarium gravel in the tank should i swich it to sand? just a li...

well i got him the fish before i knew that and he hasnt even ever touched. wich makes me happy. but i am super excited every bit he took made me happier and happier. yea my GSP shares his tank with a little Rosey Red feeder. i figured they were ok in the 10 gallon tank so the 30 wld be ok right? yea...

oh by the way the guy was kinda a surlaW! wen i asked for 1 individual shrimp he asked why i said for a fish at home i got and he was kinda rude and said "(beaver home) must be one spoiled fish"

THANK YOU so much Seven! I finally got Yoshi to eat a shrimp i got him. he only took like 4 bites but it more then what hes eaten all week. i will stick the shrimp in the fridge and keep givving him a few bites every day. i got him to eat it by tieing a thread to it and bobbing it in the water as if...

alrighty got yoshi moved to his new tank 2 days ago. it is decorated and the filter is running smoothly. (i live in a basement and its still pretty chilly where i live and my roommate/landlord keeps the house only at 65 degrees F and i had only 1 15-30 heater and it was barely keeping the tank at 71...

OK guys so against my better judgement i went and got My GSP a 27 gallon tank. (least thats what the tag said... i thought it would be bigger but hey the tag said 27 gallon tank $99.) i am starting cycling it right now. i left my GSP in his smaller tank fer now because i need to get a bigger filter ...

When you ask someone if they have a cycled tank, most will say yes because they think setting up a tank & running it a few days is cycling it. You must explain the cycling process to them. well i guess i never thought of that. i usually asked them if they knew what cycling a tank was and i get ...

your doing a great job in trying to educate people. TY! :D i do my best to relay information you guys tell me. Ty! and i do inform people that they are juvenile meaning brackish is fine for now but in about 6-9 monthes they will need full SW (that also discourages some as well) i dont mean to disco...

I will post pics when i get them. ( do you supose that Yoshi my GSP will be ok in his 10 gallon tank for about another 2 weeks i had to make a car payment with this check so i will get him a tank with my next one paycheck and cycle it! first (ofcourse) and some decorations for him!!) and i cant post...

my puffer seems much happier with me doing what i have learned. thank-you all so much. and i informed my department manager that it was unwise for us to carry puffers because people dont do the research before they take a GSP home. she said " they are one of our best sellers! we are going to ke...

well after all this info i am gettin i doubt i will ever be bold and brave. i decided once to take home a dragonfish. (he didnt last long, i am assuming because of non cycled tanks.) so i have decided i will do my best to help out my poor little friends! but i doubt i will ever be bold and brave. i ...

Thanks fer the info i will pass it on! and i will get him a bigger tank as well as get my GSP a bigger tank!

well i will have to get upgrades within the next few months! thanks fer the info. and its not harsh. ( @ the beta the tanks fer them are too small?) well he is only about 1 1/2 inches in length. and i have cycled the tank. and to the parameters of the tank. nt really sure. what ever a standard recta...

no he hasnt. hes only about 2 1/2 inches right now. and has only been in the 3 gallon tank for about a month.

Hey all I am Mina! i am a first time puffer owner. i made the mistake of thinking taking care of a puffer would be like taking care of an easy fish like a beta. wow what a mistake i have made. i do have a few questions. 1. i have 1 GSP in a 10 gallon tank is it mandatory i get him a bigger tank? i c...
