Re: Mister Valentine

I only have a few zoas, a couple of mushrooms, and a few big soft corals plus the macro.... I know he's nor reef safe but I really don't have much in there for corals anyways. He started eating the frozen shrimp now and I haven't seen him nibble on the macros again but I'll just grow them in my sump...

Re: Mister Valentine

He's moving around a lot more, investigating, he's chomping on the rocks like a champ and nibbling on my macroalgae... I hope that stops... I thought that they ate meat... he's also very interested in my crabs that might just be too big for him but who knows haha. Hopefully he'll get interested in t...

Re: Mister Valentine

He seems to be nice and fat and he had some poop out of him in the bag so I'm assuming he was fed pretty recently, man they do weird stuff like hang out in the corner of the tank facing up like my lionfish used to do, weird.... I'm used to my Fahaka and the GSPs.... they just float around hehe

Re: Please help! Porcupine Puffer with bloated belly :(

I have bought cured live rock from a lfs and put it in my tank (within 30 minutes) and I had absolutely no cycle, after testing 0-0-5 for 3 weeks I put a chromis in there and that was a year ago. Depending on your settup moving from your 33 to the 125 can cause another cycle. I just moved my 110g to...

Re: F8 puffer not eating! Please help!

1st your tank is way too small for him, you need a minimum 56L but really a 75L for him. Why do you have any Nitrites? and your Nitrates are high?? How often and how much do you do water changes... how long has the tank been set up? Is it not cycled?? the Nitrites are really bad for your fish. You n...

Re: Help.

I"m not sure your lfs is giving you great advice here... you put a puffer in a tank that was not cycled. First you need to get live rock and a good powerhead and cycle the tank, then you can add fish. Your salinity was too high, too low and then you put salt directly in the tank and might have ...

Re: Sick Pupper?

Petsmart by my place has Prime at a good price... if you feed them frozen shrimp make sure that you rinse them out and not put the water they thawed out in... it can make your water worst and that is not good right now
