The Puffer Forum

Well I'm sad to say my gsp died. He had ips and I was waiting on the meds to get here to treat him. He was fine yesterday morning when I fed him. And then when I got home in the evening he was dead

Hey guys I bought a leopard puffer. The Lfs had him in freshwater and I couldn't take it. I'm acclimating him to my 20g tank now. I know he will do better in brackish. So how do I go about slowly changing it to brackish? And what should I feed him. Thanks!

The pp?

It's all good. And I got a 20 high tank

I wasn't going to mix them I have a snail prob in my 14g that has a few shrimp I was gonna move the dp in there I was talking about maybe a new bigger type of puffer

Hey guys I've had 2 dwarf puffers but recently one died the other is still kicking just fine though. But I've been wanting to try my hand at other puffers. What other ones would you guys recommend? Thanks

Alright guy I got my 2 dps!!! But the place ordered 4 of them so my girl took the other 2 lol. But they are really small and skinny. So what do you guys recommend I feed them and what meds should I get just make sure they are healthy? Thanks guys. I'll try and post pics tommorrow

Alright guys. Ill let you know how everything goes. Thanks guys!!!

Well I have some prime I can use. So just fill it with water hat day. And add the prime just before I add the fish?

Alright. I can do that. I'll be sure to add pics when I get everything all set up and when I get them. Thanks!!

Well I'll try to get some material but I'll get some tetra safe start just to be careful. So should I just set everything up, add water conditioner to start things and some fish food like I said above, then add the safe start before I add them? Sorry I'm being complicated I just dont want to mess th...

But worst case scenario. If they don't. Is there anything I can add? I was told to add some API Tap Water Conditioner and some fish food to help stimulate the bacterias. And that it would be safe to acclimate and add then when I got them

Well I'll ask but is there anything in particular I should ask for? So even if I start now is there now way I can make it safe for them by then?

I just bought a 14g tank that I want to set up and get ready for some DPs that hopefully get here Thursday to a Lfs . Now what all should I do to get the cycle started for them to be moved in to it when I get them? Thanks
