The Puffer Forum

I must say, I've been on several forums previously (mostly car forums) and I never knew that there was such a thing as aquarium elitists. You guys might want to take a step back and think about your behavior before responding so aggressively to new members. If someone is coming to the forum and aski...

Even as babies puffers are very very messy fish. Even as babies they should already be in there forever home. You do run the risk of stunting and doing harm to the fish You guys should probably change the information on this site then, at the very least. If I didn't read that it was acceptable, I w...

A lot of people feel it's okay to "upgrade as needed" but the thing is it's not because a fish won't really grow in a tank that small so you don't know when to upgrade is the thing. Puffers should be introduced into their permanent home right away, however being in there for 1 week should...

I'm not really sure about what process he used. But he knows what he's doing! Thanks :) Ok I trust you when you say he knows what he is doing. So many people come here thinking they can set a tank up one day and have fish in it the next by doing nothing. I'm just lucky that he knows about fish. It ...

My tank was cycled, the bf took care of that! Do you know how he cycled it. http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/library/water-filtration/emergencycycle/ http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/library/water-filtration/fishless-cycling/ I'm not really sure about what process he used. But he knows what h...

Do not feed your puffer feeder fish. Feeder fish make your fish fatty and lower their health. There really aren't many brackish water plants. While in the brackish stage you will have to use a lot of fake plants. A GSP is never okay in a 10 gallon. Regardless of who told you they are, they're not. ...

Hello and welcome to The Puffer Fourm. Was your 10 gallon cycled and if so how? Great artical from our library to read. http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/library/puffers-in-focus/an-introduction-to-green-spotted-puffers/ Thanks for the info, I actually read all of that on a different site a few d...

Some people have had success introducing their young puffers into full marine tanks and this provides them with a lot of entertainment. The liverock that's needed for marine tanks (1.5-2 pounds per gallon) keeps them entertained because they search it over for food and live critters. Also a marine ...

I've read conflicting information on ghost shrimp (same with feeder fish too, like mollies). Some people said it's a good idea to feed them algae and then feed them to your puffer to make sure they are getting they're greens. I've also read that it's good enrichment for them to have live food, somet...

Hey guys, (This is my first post, so just to give you some background: I've read a lot about puffers (unfortunately AFTER I bought him and was given misinformation), but my boyfriend use to be a consultant for this fish specialty shop years ago... he had many many tanks of his own- arowana's, cichli...
