The Puffer Forum

I will be getting a 30G tank at the beginning of June. I got the puffer without doing too much reading on it and did not know how big of a tank it truly needed even at such a young age. It does this weird thing like its hiccuping sometimes. Dorm won't let me get a larger tank but my roommate is gett...

http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/ug.php/v/User_Galleries/tbrook27/ I had a hard time uploading images in my reply so I just put them in the gallery on this site. It is a small 5 gallon tank currently, but will be at recommended size in June. I have a very small pleco and guppy in with it. My wate...

It was before just one big decoration that really took up the whole tank but had a lot of areas inside it to swim in. I never saw it go inside it just swim around and look at it occasionally. Once it started acting differently I assumed it was bored with that one and I put in a small ruin decoration...

Hello, I'm rather new to owning fish. I have owned a figure 8 puffer for almost 3 months now. It's still only about an inch long. I have read that they sleep at the bottom of the tank.

I do weekly water changes and I test the water regularly. I understand that the conditions of my tank are not ideal. I have not added any marine salt yet to the water considering that my puffer is so young and that it would hurt my pleco. I read that people in some cases don't ever add the marine sa...

So I take it any of the slow release foods will be okay? As far as feeding goes in the future what kinds of harder foods would you recommend? Being the cheapest and easiest to obtain that is still good for my puffer. I don't have a vehicle so I have to mail most everything. I'll be moving the guppy ...

Hello, I'm new to the forum. I have a figure 8 puffer fish who is only a baby, maybe a little over an inch long. She is in a five gallon tank at the moment but will be in at least a 25 gallon tank by June. My problem is that I am leaving for a two week vacation in a week and a half. I have been feed...
