The Puffer Forum

I'm currently using a combination of snails (Gyraulus acronicus ) and algae tablets. I'm not seeing any problems so far. Is it true that I would have to play dentist sooner or later? Algae tablets are quite hard...they are hard to the core as opposed to snails who only have a hard outer shell so I'm...

and we're not even talking about actual water volume are we? because its even less if not

what do you mean by that?

I wish the best for my puffers so I'm not planning on having more.

I change about 30-40% of the water every week. What about 3? I'll check and see if I can borrow a nitrate test kit from someone I know tomorrow.

Your opinion would be very much appreciated, fellow SAP owners

I've just given away some of my fish and right now I'm kind of wondering if it's ok to have 4 SAPs in my 90 L tank. I already have 2 but will it be ok if I buy two more? The more, the merrier

I have to admit I was feeling sorry for you but having known that he's still alive....I was relieved. Close call definitely.

I'd say that this SAP is just a bit shy. Just give it some time and perhaps he'll get more confident. When I first bought my SAPs (I have two), they didn't pay attention to me at all! They were more focused on chasing their reflections on the glass. But as time passed by.... they stopped pacing up a...

After a minute or two, I saw them swim more actively but kept hitting the glass (not hard though). I...

how often should i feed my SAPs?

Hmm.. the water in the aquarium has gotten stable(0 nitrite) and the circulations working well. I'm lucky to have gotten true this with my saps still alive and well. Are there any puffers that are suitable as tankmates for my fishies? I've read through the profiles of different puffers on pufferpedi...

I've ordered a large bunch of snails. Problem is..they're not arriving before tuesday.:( It's been about four days ago since my SAPs had their last snail meal. Now I'm wondering how long it will take before I need to trim their teeth. Exactly how fast does their teeth grow? How long does it take for...

I'm only planning to keep one. ug.php/v/PufferPedia/Freshwater/C_Asellus/

is an option. What do you think? Do i have to keep them in groups?

Problem is I don't know what kind I should get? my aquarium holds 95L of water. I would like to own a pufferfish that would thrive in an aquarium that size. Any suggestions?
