The Puffer Forum

How long should I feed him the dosed bloodworms for? I'm using API General Cure which has both Prazi and Metro.
Here's a picture of him eating the first medicated bloodworm!

Just got him yesterday, he's finally starting to settle in today. http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj34/Boshiaz/Dwarf%20puffer/003_zpsikjxasec.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj34/Boshiaz/Dwarf%20puffer/004_zpsnsykmbmd.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj34/Boshiaz/Dwarf%20puffer/006_z...

Thank you, I'm relieved to know that it's normal. He seems to be doing OK right now, I watched him eat three snails already! Tomorrow I'll offer some IP-medicated bloodworms just in case.

Just to make sure I'm doing this right, when you say I can't overdose the medicine do you mean it's impossible to overdose it or I really shouldn't do that?

So I got the little one today! I can't believe how tiny he is! I only got a few pictures of when he was in the bag, because he's pretty scared at the moment and I don't want to stress him further. From what I could see at the lfs, he's pretty inquisitive/trusting once he settles down. I watched as t...

Thanks, I'll look into it!

Okay so the dp won't be able to go straight into the 10 gallon like originally planned because the betta in there has some sort of fungus so I'm going to wait until I'm 100% sure the tank is healthy before playing musical tanks. I decorated a spare 5.5 gallon though that was previously coated in sli...

If everything goes well I should have my puffer tomorrow, I'll keep you guys updated!

I have nothing of value to add to this thread, I would just like to say how entertaining I found the first few posts to be

CheezPuff, I'm not sure if you can make your own thread until you make enough posts for the moderators to stop 'policing' everything you post. But go into the section you want to make a thread and there should be a button with red text that says "New Topic" on the left side of the screen. ...

Have you thought about using a divider in the tank? That way both dp's will have 10g of space, Bindi won't be able to harrass the female and it's still only one tank to maintain. The mere presence of another puffer in the tank(even if he can't get to her) may keep him from hiding all the time. It ma...

Thank you! The fact that they can distinguish faces makes me think they are more intelligent than my bettas, every time they see a person they immediately swim up to be fed. I love reading everyone's experiences with their dp's, it's making me so excited to get mine! My lfs received six of them on T...

Thank you. Do you know how much of one packet I use to soak the food in?

I have both Seachem Metroplex and API General Cure in my small pile of medicines. Metroplex just has Metronidazole, while API General Cure has both Metronidazole and Praziquantel. For internal parasites, which is the best to use? And is there any measurement out there for how much of the General Cur...

Thanks! At the moment there's a cycled sponge filter in there, and an uncycled Aquaclear 20. I'm keeping the sponge filter in there until at least the HOB is securely cycled.
