The Puffer Forum

Xray thank you!! I googled some places and couldn't find much close by! The seafood place they sell them alive? Either way dead or alive goby will either befriend them or hopefully eat them! And marblehead crayfish? For tank buddies for goby or food? Lol you guys I'm so new at this but I'm glad you'...

Good thing you told me about the shrimp! I will have to get him some mealworms! And plankton if I can find it and yes jax florida!!

There are brine shrimp in frozen cubes at the pet store and other ones frozen, what do you think of those? The size of the snails were about 5 mm and Goby's eyes are smaller than that maybe like 2 mm. So ill look for smaller snails and try crushing some too maybe. Where I live, in jacksonville"...

Please read all before replying-I know flakes are no bueno. My GSP, Goby, is pretty new. I got him some tropical flakes.. because that's what the man from wal-mart told me to do. He also told me Goby was freshwater.. I figured out he needed brackish water and a better diet than flakes. So changed hi...

I will defitely get the sand! I saw some at the pet store, it's "alive" as I recall? Doing research on it right away! and I love the cave too! Thank you! So it's for salt water.. took me a minute to realize you meant the S word.. I was wondering what sword you were talking about lol! That ...

I just submitted my Goby, I hope it's not too late!

OK I have uploaded pictures of him, his tank and my betta as well, just for fun! I'm hoping you can go to them easily.. somehow.. still figuring this site out!

OHH!! forgot to add! This morning my husband woke me up before he went to work to show me that goby was in his cave finally for the first time! (that we saw)

it made me very happy lol

pufferpunk i am figuring out how to add pics now, i have a good one of his tank and favorite hiding place! i intend on getting a bigger tank soon, just short on money for now but i'm hoping he can wait about 2 weeks! I have been paying very close attention to his water and yesterday did a 50% water ...

JP yes i am using marine salt! lol and thanks for the salt tips!

anyone have any ideas as to why he doesn't like to go into his cave? or the way he is too shy? will he love me in time? (maybe if i get his water perfect and a bigger tank!?)

that's a great idea i was planning on looking to find an ammonia kit. i really just found out yesterday about the reasoning behind the necessity of such a large tank! will my puffer really get that big!? he is so tiny now! thank you tons!

ahhh! thank you!! i read online somewhere that the salinity levels should be between 1.010 and 1.020 but i haven't factored in my small tank eeeep! ok well i took some water out and put in de chlorinated water with no salt in and checked the level only went down to 1.008 but, for now i think that's ...

hello! i found this forum while looking up info on my new GSP. i am very much in love with him and want to talk about him with others! my husband got him from wal-mart for us about 3 weeks ago. since we obtained him we have found out he is indeed a brackish fish. he was sold to us as a "figure ...
