The Puffer Forum

How long will it take to cycle with fish food cause i intend to get my tank setup let it run a week then go get my first fish.

I suppose thats why the call it fish treats on the can LOL! maybe thats why my other puffer died? I dont think il run outta snails for sure, there everywhere in my 5.5 gallon haha. Will there be any chance my DP's will breed? and if they do should i remove the fry?

whats PP? All my other fish eat it if i cut it up small enough for them to eat it, its kinda big. My old GSP would eat it if i held it in the water but he ate so weird, he was picky as crap, he wouldnt eat but like once every 3 days and he acted like he didnt like anything, so weird, i hope my DP's ...

I know :/ Every forum i join does LOL! i cant use ammonia, it flares mine and my moms alergys REALLY bad. Also, have you ever succesfully fed a DP freeze dried Krill as its in the Pufferpedia and i have some i need to get rid of.

not really, i stocked my 5.5 gallon fully in 2 weeks and it never even bacteria bloomed, i simply add my starter fish, wait 2-3 weeks then get the next bunch

The reason i ask is, and dont fuss at me, i intend to do a fish in cycle as i always have, and obviosuly the DP's would die if i used them.

Is it possible to keep a small school of Danio's with them since there so fast and maybe they'l keep the puffers attention from each other?

If i put a large stock of snails in there will they eat them all and be pigs or will they only eat til there full? Should i just leave my snail stock in my 5.5 gallon when i get the tank or try to establish a stock in my new tank?

Do Dp's like a current or lots of live plants?

i dont get them from the yard, i get them from the woods out back is that okay?

i have thousands of rolly polly bugs and tadpoles around here to feed my dwarfs when i get them i hope i get the right amount of each sex :/

May i ask why?

Is it safe to feed them tadpoles? I saw it on youtube. Also, what do i do since online i read its hard to sex juvy's and thats what is normally ordered and i get more than 1 male and i cant return him?

I will have lots of Algae, i am raising Aponogetons and Dwarf lillys atm so i will have a nice stock for my new tank. I also have pond snails running outta my ears in my 5.5 gallon :lol: If i feed my puffers crayfish and its a slightly big one should i remove the tips of the claws and slightly crack...

Okay, sounds like a plan also, will they aceept non live foods?
