Re: Avocado/Bronze Puffer (Auriglobus.modestus)

Seems I can't get my hands on MS-222 or Finquel from a local veterinarian/animal hospital.
Really don't want to resort to clove oil, knowing how often I will have to use it.
Would anyone know where, I might still be able to order some MS-222 or Finquel?

Re: Avocado/Bronze Puffer (Auriglobus.modestus)

Love him! I see his mouth is open in all the photos. Check his teeth--they are one of the species with overgrown tooth problems. Expect to do some trimming in the future. Be sure to feed LOTS of crunchy foods!https://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/library/hospital/dentistry/ Yeah, I purchased him kno...

Re: Dwarf puffer questions.

General rule for stocking DPs is 5 gallons per puffer. In terms of scaping, you seem to have the bases covered. Snail farming is as easy as it gets (especially with bladder/pest snails, which LFS will usually give for free if you ask). Have a small tank 5-10 gallon setup (bare bottom, sponge filter,...

Re: Avocado/Bronze Puffer (Auriglobus.modestus)

Here's some pictures of my 1" avocado puffer (Auriglobus.modestus). Had the little guy in a breeder box while I was making changes to to the scape (as small as he's is, he's quite the little nipper haha ๐Ÿ˜…). Gave me a good opportunity to snap some close up shots. http://i.imgur.com/Gi3QbCn.jpg h...

Avocado/Bronze Puffer (Auriglobus.modestus)

Picked up a juvenile (1") avocado/bronze puffer (Auriglobus.modestus) last Tuesday from my LFS. Read up quite a bit on these guys a while back (because of how different they were compared to other puffer species), but I've never seen them available around these parts until now. Still under quar...

Re: Returning after a long hiatus

Hey there, welcome back! To my dismay, when the board got upgraded we lost all the photos in the Library (all the articles are backwards, too). We also lost my beloved, Pufferpedia. :crying: Thanks for the warm welcome back! ๐Ÿ˜ That's quite unfortunate to hear โ˜น Always thought, the database and gall...

Returning after a long hiatus

Hi everyone, Just wanted to pop in and say hi to everyone again. Joined the forum a few years ago, but took an extended break. Just got back into the puffer scene eariler this year, and thought I might as well get back on the best puffer forum out there! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Seems like the forum has made a major chang...
