The Puffer Forum

Beautiful Puffers & very healthy looking

Good for you, I have gotten a lot of dirty looks but I figure if it keeps one fish from being put in a terrible situation or a family the heart break of taking fish home to have them die or eat each other it is worth it.

Jester123, do you belong to another forum you sound very familiar only then the discussion/argument was about an Oscar and made about as much sense

Are you in the US? I bought my snails on eBay believe it or not they were cheap & healthy and I was able to set up a little 2 gal for snails. I think I even saw them in the UK on eBay but I'm not sure. Anyway the lady I bought from is in West Virginia she has a web site also and sells all differ...

Oh good Pufferpunk I hoped you would come along

I'm not sure but until someone else comes along..what is the medicine you are treating him with, when was your last water change and do you have some kind of air stone, is he still eating good Sorry about all the questions these are just some of the things I go over with mine when they are not actin...

One of my gsp has been getting dark and then she will lighten up again after a while and then get dark all over again(color, lower belly and sides), This is what I have noticed with mine she does it when I feed them it's like she gets all excited and stressed about eating, then today she was looking...

Our two gsp are Butterbean & Gizmo

I only have the temp at 82 I thought that was the top I could take a gsp so I'll get it up to 86 I do have an air stone in, it's in there all the time they like to play in the bubble. I'm doing the water changes and vac every 2 days.

I have finally reached 1.010 so the salt and temp should do it like you said. They only have a couple of dots and seem like they are doing good with the IP treatme...

I’m sorry I didn't speak more clearly, I meant that it was recommended on this forum under the velvet thread not in the sticky.

Thank you

Thank you I'm just being slow I have been doing all the salt things except changing the tank I don't have another one so I guess I just didn't think of it as doing enough.. Thank you for your help I don’t think I worried this much when my kids were babies

Hi I have read the sticky before ...my question was more would the quick cure (formalin & malachite green) and the 1/4 tablet of parasite clear (praziquantel) mix? Both these have been recommended here or do I just treat one or the other? Has anyomne treated for both of these at the sametime Ich...
