If you're referring to the API freshwater master kit doen't include KH testing, you'll have to buy that small kit separate. Once you find a way to get your KH up the PH should follow. Whatever you do don't try to alter the PH with any sort of buffers in a bottle as their results are very temporary ...

Yep, that's perfectly normal. Some of them also seem to curl up in a ball when sleeping and if you startle them awake have trouble swimming at first, its like they are "stuck" in the curled up position. Yes, they are odd fish. Do other puffers do this too? Like F8 puffers. Ive been quite ...

I recently got a figure eight puffer fish. I did research the parameters water temperatures and what they eat but I was a little ignorant to other things. I'm quite ashamed to say it but I am here now asking for help. I was kind of freaking out this morning as I saw my puffer fish practically attac...
