Re: My dwarf puffers always hides and never comes to the front like it use to

Yes i do. I have a full test kit and i always bring some water to test at the pet store just to be sure. PH 7.6 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 NItrate 0 Temp 76 to 78 Nitrate 0? That kind of puts all the other readings also in the shadow of doubt. A cycled tank usually would never have 0 nitrates. May be in a...

Are the ramshorns large compared to puffs? They might need smaller. When next feeding try staying and observ...
