The Puffer Forum

Do you have the puffer in brackish water? Or is it in fresh? These puffers need brackish water. Walmart, Petco, Petsmart shouldn't be selling these puffers. I would say get a 40 gal for now. The puffer is most like going to die, its been in the care of walmart.

My SG is 1.019 and its too late now. Chubbs passed away a few hours ago. I he was a little fighter. He tried tilL the end..... I still thought it was odd his belly never got dark, or black

I'm sorry about your lost of your puffer. I hope mine improves. He always swims up to the glass and begs ...

What size was it when you moved it into full marine? (since we're mainly looking for how this affects little guys put into full marine, instead of moving them only when they are larger) like a inch Did the fish survive? yes but now I found out he has internal parasites How long was it/is it in full ...

Just my face.

Thank you so much! When I soak his food in prazipro do I have to dilute? Should I feed him the prazipro in food every day?

I have had chubbs ( my green spotted puffer) for close to 2 years now. For the past 3 months he has gotten so skinny. I feed him everyday. At first I thought his beak was overgrown.
