The Puffer Forum

RTR and PP have made it possible for more people to enjoy puffers! If not for you two many many puffers would be dead and many hobbyists would have moved on from them with a bad taste in their mouth. You two deserve a day on the calendar xD

Oh I see. And thanks for the note about the powder blue tangs ^^ Why is that?

Say, why do lionfish make bad tankmates for puffers? Do the puffers go after the little antenna parts on the lionfish and they fight often because of it? And also, how small is too small of a tankmate for porcs?

Thanks! That's very helpful, the tangs seem to be a hit with porcs lol And thank you for mentioning the harlequin tusk, I'm totally in love with that fish xD

I did a standard water change. My GSP looks stressed because of it. D=

Here is a list of fish that I like that no one has yet mentioned would be bad tankmates: spotted bristletooth tang red stripe angelfish yellow tang harlequin tusk jewel damselfish powder blue tang mimic lemon peel tang two spot bristletooth tang red hawkfish spotted hawkfish Will you let me know if ...

+1 I would try breeding ramshorns, apparently it's as easy as sticking a group of them in a tank and ignoring them xD LOL I will be getting some soon to start a breeding program so if you like I can keep you updated and if it hits off and you decide against breeding I'd be happy to send you some for...

Thanks for the info guys! Has anyone had any luck with housing them with any of the Canthigaster puffers?

Am I on the right track as far as stocking goes?

Oh! And am I stocking correctly as far as how many fish compared to their size and level of aggression? Could I add more? Less?

Does that mean that the tang, angel, and damsel are suitable or should I have only the porc in the tank? =O Thanks for the info! Poor bottom dwellers xD

Every time I see the commercials now I get annoyed. I will be writing to Animal Planet about it because at their heart they are trying to be informative, just sometimes they put out shows with stuff that will harm rather than help. The tanks are interesting and all, but I agree that the main point i...

...in a 200-250? I will probably end up getting a 200 but am aiming at a 250 xD I am trying to figure stocking for a 200 though so please let me know if I cross into 250 territory. ^^ I am new with marine stocking, figuring out my first marine experience right now with a bitty GSP (and he is cute! I...

I would clean it with a vinegar solution, fill it up and just let it sit while you wait for your filters. Ich dies off if it has nothing to live on/breed on and the vinegar should kill it immediately, so I wouldn't worry ^^

omg why would anyone do that? That fish might be dead now from the mistreatment D=
