Re: Green spotted puffer vs Green puffer...

Now i'm wondering... Which one do i actually have??

I've looked at the links @Pufferpunk, but i don't see any physical description of the puffers... Or i'm just missing it...

Is there a definitive way to distinguish between the two species?

Re: Sick/Stressed Puffer

I will definitely upgrade to my 40 gallon tank for Peanut alone. But i have for now removed 2 of the gobies... I placed them into my 10 gallon tank along with my 3 guppies...

But Thank you for all your advice I really appreciate it. It has helped me a lot and will only benefit Peanut.

Re: Sick/Stressed Puffer

Thank you for the warning... I took some water from peanuts tank to a pet shop near me that tests it for you for free and they said that my water is perfect and there are no harmful chemicals in it.

Re: Sick/Stressed Puffer

Hey Peanut and all the others are doing well and none of them are showing signs of stress anymore. I found that with all the other fish that I keep if you let your system run for 6 weeks and then addibg plants and 2 weeks after that adding fish you don't need to cycle your water.

Sick/Stressed Puffer

Hey.
My GSP is almost completely black and is refusing to eat. My water temp, pH and salt concentration have been constant. I saw that he has some flukes on him and i treated him for that. What else can i do to save him since he is not eaten in 4 days?
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
