The Puffer Forum

We have got a takifugu in the store right now and i was curious if you guys may have had experience with this type of disease. To me it looks like really large ich spots. they are very uniform dots, about the size of a tiny egg. Columnaris came to mind but im not sure if puffs are really susceptible...

i work at the lfs and i would like to think we know what we are doing. Best in arizona from what my most hardcore hobbyist/customers preach. thats beside the point though. I would have plenty of time to dedicate forming a pair at work. I can keep a close eye and see what kind of aggression is going ...

I have seen that a couple people in this forum have a pair of these puffers. Im not concerned with sexing them but rather how to form a pair.

Does it have to do with their genital papilla and the size of their vent (if they even have a vent)? I have a...

how can you sex the congos? is it just by looking around their anal area?

FEATHERS&FINS... how do you know its a little lady? how do you sex these?

PUFFERPUNK-----ive never heard anything of ro water not being sufficient to house fish. To me that makes no sense. at my store we use 100% RO (no blackwater extract or any additives) to hold our discus and wow are they healthy, eagerly chowing food at every feeding. From what ive read the T. suvatii...
