Here is how he is looking now and also how the tank looks. I put in some taller fake plants in the back to help all the fish feel more at ease and already I think they seem more relaxed.

Re: Amazon Puffer with large white spot on head
Thanks He is a cutie. That’s a possibility, I didn’t think of that actually.. I’ll keep it up with water changes though and keep you updated on his healing.

Re: Amazon Puffer with large white spot on head
Thank you for your advice and help Pufferpunk, I really appreciate it. I've been doing several 50% and 25% (roughly) water changes over the last few days and the white spot is getting smaller and all the cracks have dissapeared from the edges. I looked at the article you suggested and I think I will...

Amazon Puffer with large white spot on head
Recently, I've become aware that my fish care and practices in general with fish care need to change. I'd just like to say that to start, because I'm aware both my tanks have become overpopulated and that I need to change my water changing schedule from monthly and bi-weekly to weekly most likely. I...

Re: Murder beans!
Aww, they are adorable! And fat indeed. How big is their tank? I would love dwarf puffers, but I already am running three tanks with fish and a fourth would just be too much.

In a tall tank like that, a lot of vallisneria would be really nice!! I’ve heard some verities don’t need Co2.. For the sponge filter, I’m not sure, but from what I’ve seen with a lot of fish channels on YouTube, plus taking into account the low bio load you will have, a sponge filter sounds fine! B...

Re: freshwater puffer tank decoration ideas
For the pea puffers, if I ever had pea puffers, I always wanted to create a jungle of vallisneria for them to swim through, but this is just one idea!

Re: freshwater puffer tank decoration ideas
I also struggle with decorating, but I thought I’d post with a few ideas I’ve thought of.. You could paint the backs of the tanks a color that brings contrast or helps with the atmosphere you’re looking for. Black, blue, etc... I know this is a basic tip, but helped a lot in the case of my amazon pu...

Re: SAP’s with ich
I have discontinued the ich medication I was using ( now ich, API super ich cure, and E.M. Erythromycin) And put some carbon in the filter (yesterday), I also lowered the temp to 84 over the last few days as it has been up at 88 for about two weeks. I’m not sure how long the carbon needs to get rid ...

SAP’s with ich
Hello all, Apologies for what I already know will be a long post. Recently in my goldfish tank, they got ich because I introduced a bristlenose pleco without quarantining it first. Now, whether through accidental cross contamination (I tried to be careful but was not sure how careful to be..) or bec...

Re: Throwing up SAP/how to tell if healthy?
I knew from doing it previously about how much it was and guesstimated lower, but probably too much lower and I had no idea too little could have negative effects as well... The article I referenced said baking soda would help neutralize the acidity the MS222 adds to the water, but I didn’t use baki...
