How is she/he doing?

Doesn't that just say to use copper or hypo? I thought neither of those were good?

I know there are some threads on this, but I have a hard time sorting through and finding the information I need. Please forgive me. I have a 210 aqueon tank, pH is 8.0, kH, 9, SG 1.023, Ammonia 0, Nitrites 0, Nitrates ~10. I have a small Diodon holocanthus who came down with a case of crypt nearly ...

Every once in a while I get some mussels from the grocery store. I open the shell a bit and drop it in. Sean goes nuts for them!:)

Has your puffer started eating "normally?"

Maybe I should be clear, it is a Mombassa Lion, NOT a Volitan.

BTW, SW fish don't get Ich, it's a FW disease

Seriously?

I recently had an Ich outbreak which has since cleared up. My Porcupine Puffer was pretty bad with ich all over his body and fins. All the ich is gone, but he still has white spots on his fins. There are no granular looking things, so I think they are scars. Is this possible? He acts fine and isn't ...

75 gallon, 48" long.

Ends badly for who? They seem to get along now. He is a dwarf so he shouldn't get that big.

I've been trying to vary my Porcupine Puffer's diet. He's about 6 inches now and very active. I bought some raw (previously frozen) shrimp from the grocery store deli. I cut up some pieces and gave them to my puffer and dwarf lion. My question is, should I leave the shell on? I know that he needs to...
