The Puffer Forum

A DP after I have had a few drink ... LOL Dwarf Puffer ....

I have kept fish for a number of years and then couldn't. Recently I started again and I did the thing that we all know you shouldn't do- I made an impulse buy. My little DF is my pride and joy. I love that little dude! Anyway, when I got him I intended to put him in a 20L, but then as I was setting...

I still have problems with one DP not wanting to eat frozen bloodworms. The other DPs love them. It's been over two weeks now, and he's getting really skinny. Live food is not available in nearby petstores. My snails are not reproducing fast enough to start feeding the DPs, but I fed him quite a fe...

Although I get good healthy fish from this store, I don't think they know very much about puffers. When I went back and asked what they were feeding them, I was told just sinking pellets. And they have them housed with community fish. Now they know about plants and I assume salt water, but I am pret...

I was not to fond of fish that are unnatural in color. I find it interesting that Ca had allowed their sale. I know they are very strict on environmental issues. I do have to admit that after looking at the Glofish site that they offer lesson plans for teachers. I am now thinking of setting up a sma...

I sat down to look at my 20l community tank and was watching all my little fish ... 5 serpae tetras, 2 swordtails, 1 kuhlies loach, 1 displaced long fin rosie barb. This is a fairly new tank, only few months old. I have been adding fish slowly. One of my swordtails died, I think she was being picked...

I agree! I was going back to get a few more this weekend and they were all sold out

Check. :) just got all the stuff and stuffed my little filter. It is the one near Lake Street. Unfortunately I just moved to the south side and I can't find anything down here. I can get supplies at Pet Supplies Plus and Petco, but not fish. Although showing lack of self control in impulse buys mayb...

Wht LFS did you go to? I'm in Franklin Park. I found them up at Natural Pet in Oak Park, right on Harlem. I started out with washed play sand and aquarium sand. I was trying to save some money. Unfortunately I didn't wash the play sand well enough because well ... we had a blizzard and I was doing ...

Hello all! Last weekend, I was buying fish for my school community tank. After getting my cory cat and some barbs, I saw the cutest little face staring back at me, a dwarf puffer. OMG it was love at first sight. So breaking the number one rule of pet keeping, don't buy a pet on an impulse, I bought ...

Hello, I have had fish for years so I really know better BUT, when I went to get some new fish for my classroom community tank ( am a teacher) I saw the cutest little dwarf puffer fish and bought it. THEN I came home and started to research them. BAD FISH OWNER! Well I am now starting a new tank 20 ...
