The Puffer Forum

I've heard several people use it for their fake rock projects such as the one I cited. It is so expensive for me that I would not even consider using it to fill up a fake ornament hehe.

No worries. I may try it myself anyways, but I appreciate all input and experiences!

Yeah, it would be hard not to notice the BRIGHT SHINY PIECE OF WOOD in a nice peaceful BW tank lol. Good point. I think by roughing it up a bit with sandpaper after a couple coats of epoxy would help soften the look. I think I would test it on a small piece of wood before doing a large version. I'm ...

I have looked high and low for some truly nice fake driftwood to no avail. I have some West System Epoxy that is aquarium safe. I initially bought it to make one of these: http://www.csd.net/~cgadd/aqua/art_other_netmax_styro.htm I'm thinking that if a piece of driftwood is sealed, it will not rot. ...

Heyhey, I talked to Pisces about it. I gave them the latin name, common name, and description. I also talked to Big Al's, but they told me there was no such thing as a pustulatus, then again, they also thought that a fahaka was a lurker, similar to a suvattii :P I should really go to Riverfront and ...

Uh oh. Doesn't sound good. I can't really offre any personal experiences, but what I would suggest is if the F8's mouth heals, he might not be able to crush the shells of snails anymore, so a diet of blackworms/bloodworms/etc will be his staple for the rest of his life, with regular dental trimmings...

Perhaps the tank is also cloudy because there was fresh water added. It seems the extra air from pressurized tap water is precipitating out on the fake plants. That would be another reason why the tank seems a bit cloudy.

Perhaps you sucked up a shell of a deceased snail or a small rock and he thought it was fresh food?

I asked on Thursday. Nothing yet. It a case of "hurry up and wait"

Just out of curiosity, whats the full name of that food, and where might I acquire it?

Very rare in the trade. I'm attempting to get my hands on one. I have my doubts though.

I might yes, if I knew the half-life of it. The only real danger is that the medication would be less effective really. The rest of the medication is just excipients and binders. In the case of Discomed, it already comes in powdered form. Its to treat a dwarf puffer with internal parasites. The poor...

Can't hurt to try, can it?

I have a movie downloaded on my computer of another pustulatus. Was that Hecter?

We will see. I'll keep everyone updated. I know I have high hopes, but I might as well try.

I described it tonight, and will be bringing in Dr Ebert's book tomorrow as well as some info from this forum. I also explained that if they could not get a true pustulatus, then not to bother. They'll be contacting me tomorrow about it. They have a high puffer turnover rate from what I've seen. The...
