The Puffer Forum

thanks for all the help

yeah im very bummed. really really liked that puffer, shame it ended up like this. but better than me torturing him with high salinity and finding out when its too late.

well i dropped him off. the owner is very awkward and didn't even offer me any store credit or anything but its better then him going to some random who doesn't know what he is. they had a baby GSP there too but we didn't get him. they had a peacock mantis shrimp as well for a great price and very s...

maybe i can get a legit baby gsp and hopefully if he's raised from the get go in a tank with clowns he will be fine.

or maybe ill see a valentini in person and will like them a lot.

i was looking at the valentini, only thing is i really like that round puffer look. i might be out of luck until i can upgrade to a 90 gal next year or end of this year

just called one of my LFS, he said he can take him. im super bummed he has to go.

on the bright side, my new LED will be coming in today.

any suggestions for a puffer thats full marine, can be fine in a 40 gal for at least another year and is compatible with other fish?

i would but i dont want 2 fish tanks again. I did that and I just start to slack horribly because it starts to become work and not something i enjoy. this saltwater tank ive been enjoying more then any freshwater ive ever had.

yeah im 99% sure its a T. Sabahensis. he looks and behaves a lot more like them in the videos ive seen . he's always never looked quite right to me compared to other gsp's ive seen, and now it makes sense. so what should I do now? im guessing calling a LFS seeing if they will take him or put him on ...

damn you're right, my bad.

what a bummer.

haha woulda been nice if you threw out that possibility in the very beginning

hmm, after looking at pics he looks pretty much exactly like a T. Sabahensis, especially when he gets dark on certain occasions. do they often get sold as leopard/gsp's? if thats the case and he needs to be in freshwater it looks like im going to have to rehome him or something, im not about to tear...

thanks! when we got him his tail was half nipped off but it grew back. hes usually white, just hates my phone for some reason. hes at least 3 inches long and maybe a year old. not sure how old he was when we got him but he was about the size of a bottle cap.

took some pics. he goes from white belly to dark instantly when he sees me hold up my phone. last 2 times i tried to take a pic he splashed me, was lucky to get this pic. and last is the protein skimmer i got showing the good job its doing. can't believe i ran his tank without one. http://img.photob...

its the same for both just like prime and pretty much all their products. so what do you suggest I do about the filter situation? i got my test kit in and everything is good except the nitrates, so you're right there. edit- im guessing a sump? would this work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/1912308675...
