The Puffer Forum

I think your friend is talking about the same thing as 'pest snails' a.k.a. pond snails.

oh... I thought he had a GSP already. Sorry. Should've read above.

Oh I know, but this kid is trying to get by with a 15, so lets not spook him by saying you'll need a 50 gallon later whe, while it's not optimal, it will be sufficent in a 30, 35 gallon tank. He most certianly won't need a 50 gallon tank.

Sorry, adam is right, puffs don't do well wth sharp objects. Other than that tho, it's your choice. You're only restricted furthermor if you don't have good water conditions.

Truth is anything is just fine. They don't really care, not that my puffs talk to me... yea... But really, it doesn't make a difference. However, if your tap water isn't at/around a pH of 8.0, like they said, some kinda crushed argonie/coral would help act as a buffer. But if you have a pH of 8.0+, ...

GSPs only need 30 gallons each...

Whats that all about? I mean, i suppose I could be wrong, I don have a GSP, but a 30 gallon tank is suppose to be fine right?

oh yea, there is isn't there? As a matter of fact, I just checked, ALL the stickies are about meds, well, almost all...

Melafix and Pimafix I've heard r reputable... There's something else that I cant think of right now too... But About the two above, I've heard someting about it being bad in SW? I dunno... You should add an airstone while using these too.

I don't think it matters? Maybe I'm wrong but that kinda thing doesn't matter either way... Unless you're talking about what makes him look best to you? What kinda color contrast?

czu its goldfish.... that and mine at work move quite slowly...

Yea, but they may not like shrimp... They may only eat fish. Try silversides man... Its worth a shot. Thehy come frozen.

I wouldn't house the snails and betta in the same tank... My snail tank can get pretty polluted and couldn't imagine putting my betta in there... Honest, he'd be better off in the largest water glass or vase you can find in your house until you can get him his own tank/bowl... Just once snails start...

I feed the one at work Silversides. Get some tongs and wiggle it, it should take to it...

that and their gills may ALREADY be perminately damaged from toxic levels of ammonia... Meaning they may not be able to live a full ifetime no matter what you do... I understand financial situations, trust me, but maybes the best thing you can do is return em until you've got al l the ammunition you...

O, sorry, didn't see you said no chillers...
