The Puffer Forum

Sorry to jack the thread, but with a Fig 8 in Brackish, do you use the FW or SW vitamins?

That's what I had thought. But Ive never had any medical issues with fish that I have kept, so I wasn't sure. This is by far the coolest fish I have ever owned. Thanks.

I bought Perry on Friday, and started treating for IP already, although he doesn't seem to show any symptoms of it. But I noticed that his colors are always kind of bland, except for when I feed him. And he seems to have a haze over his body. I don't know if I'm just being weird or if maybe he has I...

Thanks guys, no where local carries any of the vitamins. SO have to order them but thanks for the help.

Well I finally got my tank cycled, and on the advice of others on this forum I got Figure 8 instead of a GSP. He looks and acts very healthy. The LFS was feeding them frozen Krill, so I bought some of that, and I already had frozen Mussells and Clams. So he will be eating them until my snail colony ...

Hello, my tank finally completed its cycle this weekend. I am waiting until next weekend to get my puffer though. In the meantime I am starting my snail tank so that he will have a steady supply. I was wondering if some of you with snail tanks setup could post pics of them, so I could see how they a...

For an update: 2 weeks ago I did a WC to get the ammonia down to below 4ppm. I also dropped the temp down to 78-80F, and added Tetra Safe Start to the bio wheel (figured it wouldn't work, so I wouldn't be disappointed if it didn't). Within the first week the ammonia dropped to where it was the light...

Time for another question. I never thought about doing this before,but would taking some filter squeezings' or media from my turtle tank help seed my BB in my new tank? There are 2 red eared sliders in the tank, and it's cleaned regularly and the turtles are healthy. I didn't test the water yet, bec...

Will do, thank you very much for your quick response.

Thanks for all the compliments on my aquascaping. I am still deciding on what to put where and that pic is just w/ everything in there, not in its final spots. I do have another question though, but first PP as I assumed, you were right my cycle was stalled because I added to much ammonia. It has be...

This isn't the best pic but my real camera has a dead battery.



So, do I have to much in the back of the tank for him, or will this do, or do I need more? Thanks again for your help and advice.

Because I had read between 3 and 4 so I figured 4 would be good. And since the API test goes from 4 to 8, My color matches the 4 so it is somewhere between 4 and 7.9. Is there a more accurate test? Although I guess once it is cycled it won't matter because then it should be 0. What would you recomme...

PS3 & 360

Most of my time playing is spent on Gran Turismo 5, and occasionally Grand Theft Auto 4. But I have a rig built for racing, so usually I am on that if I get a chance to play.

Finally finished the stand Saturday. Got the tank set up on Sunday. Didn't think it would take that long, but between rinsing everything thoroughly and making 1 or 2 trips to the home depot and petSmart, it took nearly all day. Got my ammonia to between 4 and 8 ppm(because that is how the API test d...

Only thing I have access to is the LFS, and I don't want to open up that can of worms, so I'm going the slow route.
