The Puffer Forum

Thanks!

Finally found a fahaka I couldn't resist. The store said they'd had him for 3 months, he was dewormed and eating. So how can I be sure he was dewormed? Do puffers have the telltale long stringy white poo if they have internal parasites? The store definitely had him for at least 2 months, he's about ...

I've raised 5, and I wouldn't trust a single one. They don't see it as biting the hand that feeds them, the hand that feeds them is food.

Just joined the forum. Very sad reading. Imy sorry for your loss.

Been there, done that. I want to set up all my tanks with constant drip. I have ro for my discus, a blend for acaras, and the waste to turtles. My only drain is my sump pit that waters my garden and lawn. Introducing salt water into that drain would be a problem. Plus I just don't want to open that ...
