The Puffer Forum

Noticed my puffer has a white spot on top of his head. Any idea what it may be and treatment?

I'd like to remind everyone that the Petco $1 per gallon sale is in full effect. Best time to start up an Abei tank is now!

Don't wish! Just do it!

Going to be moving to another house pretty soon and unfortunately I have to thin down my stock. I would like the abei to go to someone with a lot of puffer experience, preferably someone who can home in another 40b with good filtration and hiding spots. He is full of energy and loves to swim around ...

So I'm thinking about adding another abei puffer to my 40b. Both will be about 4". Any tips on making this cohab work?

I'd also like to know if anyone in the Chicago area is interested in an Abei puffer incase they don't get along I have a new home for.it.

So I crushed a half shell clam to get my puffer some crunch time and noticed my puffer swallowed some pieces of clam shell. Is a puffers digestive system built to break down shells?

Yeah I hear these guys are messy..I'll add a sponge filter

Is it possible to breed ramshorn snails in a 5 gallon bucket with just a heater and airstone? I would obviously treat the water with prime every week during a waterchange....I read the library but just wanted to see if its really necessary to have a sponge filter or can I get by without it.

Nope he makes that noise everyday. Best way is to have the video in HD and turn the volume all the way up. The first chirp is very feint the second and third are noticeable, watch the puffers mouth as he makes the noise.

Really? the last two chirps are the most noticeable theyre at 6 and 9 seconds..

Maybe ill catch him doing it closer to the camera someday

So one of the first things I noticed about my puffer when it was first settling in was that it would chirp every once in awhile. As the days went on I could hear him chirp atleast once a day. So today I was able to get it on video, unfortunately he's not that close to the camera but you can still he...

Yes im going to dose one clam "in a half shell"

How many drops of prazi should I use to soak it without risking an overdose?

ok dosing tonight. thank you

Ok guys, I just came home from work I havent dosed his food yet...but I did notice he has something stringing hanging out with a tiny little round ball attached. Ive never seen a parasite but im assuming this is it. I guess the meds are working question is should I still go ahead and medicate him or...

I'm just going to wait for the next water change guys, don't want to overdose.. Better safe then sorry
