The Puffer Forum

Thank you

Was it ok?

Oh man. That poor thing. Why would somebody let it go like that. Did you do any dentistry on the owner? Fuffers teeth aren't over grown I was just trying to show her off . I'm wondering how to keep it that way if she won't crunch anything.

Maybe lol. But if they have a rebel oto they should keep an eye on it lol.

I lost two discus and almost a third before I realized what was happening. The otos enjoy sucking the slime coat and when they suck a hole in it the fish can get Avery bad infection. I was only trying to help. There is no other reason the oto would repeatedly land on the puffers head.

Weird it works for me. But that's not the issue. I guess I just can't post pics. But if u have any advice about getting her to wear down her teeth let me know. Thx a ton.

You realize that can kill your puffer. You need to remove the oto right away. They will suck a hole in his slime coat and then infection will set in.

I have a loach I just rescued. He is silver and about 8-9 inches easy. He looks a lot like a tiger botia body and face wise but he is just plain silver. I can't figure out how to get a pic on here but if anyone has a clue maybe let me know what ya think.

I don't know know if I would use the word "normal" to describe it lol but it does my heart good to know it isn't something she shouldn't be doing. Thank you for your promtcand kind responses.

This may be an of ???? But my fahaka fuffer does this thing where she like sucks her eyeballs into her head so you can't see them anymore. My ??? Is just whether that is normal behavior or not lol.

Our fahakas name is fuffer. Our daughter won't say fahaka cus she says it's a bad word. And my hubby and I affectionately dubbed him f$@&¥r puffer. And obviously that isn't shild friendly so it got combined into fuffer

Thanks. I tried scallops and he wouldnt touch them. He wants the live danios the store was feeding him but I refuse when he can be raised just as healthy on stuff I don't have to murder lol. Thanks for the advice.

Hey guys. So I'm new to puffers. I have had my fahaka for about three days now. The only thing I can get him to eat is prawns. Wich he eats quite ferociously lol. I just worry he needs a more varied diet and was curious as to what some of yours like to eat. He is still very small only 3-4 inches. Th...

Thanks for your responses. He slowed his breathing that night and began exploring and playing in the sand. He is now very active and eating quite ravenously. Very excited to have him added to the family. Can't wait to watch him grow. He looks so small in his big tank.
