The Puffer Forum

Yes sgtmyers theyre about that size maybe a bit smaller. I also "rescued" all 3 of my puffers from Walmart! Lol I know that I'm dealing with a lot of fish with my size tank, but so far everything is going really good. I don't know how soon I will be able to upgrade to a bigger tank, if I s...

So I had my 75g set up for about three weeks before adding any fish, 80lb lr for now, then added my 3 very small GSPs into the tank after drip-acclimating them from a BW 30g. The puffers are all probably under 1.5 in. I'm happy to say however, that since I've moved them to full marine, I've seen hug...

Yes I have continued to see these dead maggot-like things in my tank, I've been trying to clear them out and they are becoming less common thankfully

PP that's pretty sad :/ how big are your gsps? And how big were the percs you put in?

Lol yes I have heard that everywhere with puffers x) however I spoke to the owner Of one my LFS about possible tankmates, and he said that a pair of clownfish would be fine, that they're pretty tough and can take care of themselves, especially that my puffers are so small right now and they may not ...

So I've got my puffers in my tank! put some dwarf hermits in there beforehand and then the puffers a few days later, so far puffers have tried to go for em but I think My Gsp's are still too small to do any real damage lol. So I've been thinking, is there anything I can do in terms of tank mates?

I've actually looked through several pages just as the one you posted there and I camt seem to find anything that even closely resembles what I have here. The closest looking one is the first pic in the peanut worms set of pics. Small just like that, similar shape too, except it's NOT that. Plus the...

I can't really post a pic right now unfortunately, but I'm pretty sure they are small dead maggots! They have no legs and they are tiny and brown and when I took them out with my finger they felt almost dried out from the inside. Also they're not moving at all I'm pretty sure they're all dead

Ok so it's been happening for the last few days now, that I've found what look like tiny dried up dead maggots stuck to the side of my tank at the waterline! The first day I only saw about 2 or 3 in one corner, but ever since I've been finding more and more! Could they be coming from my lr??

Lol I know they won't last long but Id still want them so at least my puffers will be able to hunt for some live food! Any recommendations?

Oh I see what you mean. Well I added a bottle of biospira last night and tested it again tonight and the tank seems to have cycled! I know I should still wait and make sure it stabilizes, but what would you guys recommend in terms of a clean-up crew?

Its all live rock, no dry rock right now. Thank you!

After several days of experimenting, I believe I have it finally set up in a way quiet enough for me to sleep! Haha we'll see tonight however. I'm anxious to get my puffers in already! But the water params arent ready :/ is there anything I should be doing for the lr and ls? Someone told me to feed ...

Yes it's somewhat quieter, but still having a hard time sleeping. Also, since I put my live rock in the params went all out of whack. No ammonia, but a lot of nitrates and nitrites. What should I do? Ive been putting prime in the water, I don't have any fish or anything in there so should I just wai...

Oh ok I think your sump is a little more complex than mine PP. mine just has 2 chambers, the main one where the drain first takes the water, and in that chamber is my skimmer. Then it just leads to a smaller chamber where it goes through some sponge and then down to the return pump and back up to th...
