The Puffer Forum

Ting: I have not called them yet. I wanted to keep productive and focused until this was over. I get crickets from there every two weeks for my Lizard so I plan on informing them of this situation and what impact it has had on us. I plan on reading everything I can now. I have already read a lot. I ...

Tried there first :/ Their shopping cart is disabled now and their support mailbox is full. Might they have gone under?

One more sad update. Our second F8 puffer died today. I really want to thank you for your help in trying to save them. I am pretty devastated right now - and actually have been since this happened. I HATE knowing my ignorance caused these fish to go through this. Our two F8s will be missed :( We are...

Update: They will not ship it here either :/

Thanks very much yet again!

Having trouble finding someone to ship Bio-Spira to Canada :/ Still looking...

Thanks so much once again!

Thanks again. Ordering BIO-Spira right now. Just to confirm, should we only get the Freshwater version? Or should we order both Fresh and Marine (for when we setup their new tanks which should be this weekend). We plan on reading a whole bunch more before we set up this new tank. Should be a fun nex...

Thanks again for your response! We just completed a 50% water change. Prime package instructions say "to detoxify nitrite in an emergency, up to 5 time normal dose may be used". We put in a double dose of prime to start. We then added MelaFix and PimaFix as per package instructions (includ...

Thanks so much once again as always. You are very kind. We are definitely going to get these guys in a bigger tanks asap. We were once again told that 10G is "fine" for these guys :( In terms of the cycle, sorry for the ignorance once again but: 1) The cycle will still occur naturally with...

First off, very sad news - one of our puffers died last night :( Thank you for trying to help him out. We still have 1 F8 puffer and 2 GSP that we want to help as much as possible. The F8 puffer is the only one showing signs of fungus at this point. After calling around we were able to find Melafix,...

We just changed 50% of the water and tested again.

Nitrites were still 1.6 but Amonia dropped down to .9. Should this be expected?

Thank you sooooo much! Seriously. Thank you.

Thanks for the quick reply! We will be doing a 50% change right now. Knowing we only have those 3 bottles in the house, what do you suggest we use (if anything) to treat the water?

Bad news with the tank tests. Unfortunately something seems to have wreaked havok in the last day or so. Our test show the following: PH = 7.6 Ammonia NH3/NH4 = 1.6 GH = 180 KH = 60 NO2 = 1.6 Just so I hear it from a pro, what are the recommended readings? Something bad is going on. Any suggestions ...
