The Puffer Forum

sounds like im gonna be doing some scraping. thx

I was not thinking anything big, maybe an albino bn pleco.

After being pufferless for about 2 years now (took care of my GFs GSP) I now have a F8 :) He is swimming around his 15 gallon checking things out as we speak. He also has a fresh serving of blood worms available to him. In the hopefully near future I will be starting a 60 gallon for a couple of GSPs...

wow...how low does it go? mine only goes to 1.012. What brand is it? looks like i need a new one.

as of now I use the powerhead technique on my reef and my hydrometers have never had a problem.

How could you just raise .02, it would just be hard to measure.

ok cool, so when keeping them in brackish it is fine to just use a sea salt mix like Instant Ocean right?

If I buy a GSP in FW and would like to bring it to SW, how should I bring up the salinity? Would it do better if the salinity varied with the fishs age? would it be better just to bring the salinity up slowly over a period of time from the beginning? What should I feed the little guy? I already buy ...

My gf just got her dwarf indian puffers and they are about .5" long I tried feeding them crushed flake and they didnt take to it. Then I tried, for the first time, frozen blood worms. I put them in a cone and they thawed and then some came out and the little guys loved em. My problem is still a...

I am trying to order some things for the new snail tank so that I can feed the new coming DP's. I know that all I really need is a filter and heater, but what filter would be good? It is a 7.5 gallon cube tank. I was thinking about the Eheim Aquaball- 2206 or the 2208. What do you suggest? and what ...

hahaha. I love how boxermom said something about Sjsteveo's punctuation and he started using it excessively, and in the wrong places. At least he was using it

Where the shrimp are concerned, if your puffer doesn't like them in the tank, take them out.

well...then I hope that mine doesnt, if it turns out he does then there is another tank he can go into

Nah, they arent MTS, cuz he mentined that the puffs shouldnt eat those. And I wont go with 10, I was gonna stick with 5 at the most

is all of my equip going to be okay?

Yesterday my gf and I went to the LFS and custom ordered a 7.5 gallon Cube tank (1'x1'x1') to breed snails in and house a betta. The equipment is being bought from bigalsonline.com tonight. As far as I know all I need is a heater and a filter...what else am I missing? What should I feed the snails? ...

awsome news...now I just have to get it all set up, the 5 gal for the betta and snails and the 15 g for the 4 or 5 little dp's...i guess if there is ne thing else you guys could tell me, like if there is a helpful book, It would be really cool too.

I guess I am leaning towards the dwarf puffers now...but I would love to see some good pics of em. Can ne one help in that department?

What would u suggest feeding them?
