The Puffer Forum

if its just aquarium salt and just a tiny bit it prob wouldnt hurt anything. but yea zero nitrate is somthing to worry about. either your doing an insane amount of water changes, or your test kit isnt working right. i would do as crazed said and do another water change with just plain freshwater an...

ok , i bought him 4 weeks ago from a exotic shop for 69 bucks he is 4inches What i am writing about is it took him 2 days to get over the transfer and then he was swimmimg all over. He was in a 10 gallon tank and now he is in a 29 gal tank. ok so he was eating 2 dried krill a day swimming for them a...

he was 69.99 there not sure of other places and their price.

I had a gsp for 2 years. He recently passed. I was at the pet store that i purchased 2 pea pufferfish in the recent past that are doing real good and hairy was there then. this was 2 months ago . Then i spotted hairy they had him in a 10 gallon tank, he was still there . He is 4 inches. Anyway, when...

i havent checked the water perimeters but they should be stable. there is a red pimple like soar on the bottom lip of my gourmie. it started out small and now it covers his whole lip. anyone know hit me back. thankk u

I was just wondering why u would think i wouldnt have a thermometer in there. Sorry, you said in your post "I stuck my hand in his tank and it was so hot, 100 degrees, I almost died." I just assumed you didn't have a thermometer. I am sorry, I guess I didn't read the thermometer before I ...

I didnt know how long the water had been hot i know it hadnt been like a whole day or night cuz i always got my face or hands in or by thier tanks. We held the ice cubes in our hands til they melted which wasnt long and then like swirled it around i only used a few. But the Icees frozen blue things...

If you use ice in sealed containers/ziploc bags, frozen water bottles or "freezer packs" sealed in ziploc bags, it can be as good as or better than cooler water changes. You don't want to add ice though that will melt directly into the tank or cold water, causing cold spots, you want the ...

Oh my gosh, I was devestated. I stuck my hand in his tank and it was so hot, 100 degrees, I almost died. I put some ice cubes and ice frozen thingys to cool it off and then i hooked up the python and sucked up about half of the hot water and put cool water in replace but not to cool cuz i didnt want...

Ok so i bought a hydrometer with a digital thermometer. I didn't have to buy it so i got a good one. I know some one said to get a refractormeter on eBay but i don't shop on eBay. Anyway i am not doing anything with it til i get some good advice from u. K, so i have a bag of premium marine salt mix....

I think u are right about him being stunted. He lived in my 29 gal tank with my other fish. He was good for about a week and then i had to divide him from the others. I got a divider from the lfs store and gave him half of the tank for about 6 months and then he went on his own in a 10 gal for about...

So he loves krill and i cant give it to him. I only fed him 2 cubes in the last 2 days. I feed him a cube of frozen stuff when its night. He likes the dark, not pitch black but not bright lighted either. K so it constipates them I hope that don't hurt him what i have already fed um. thank you for le...

He is now in his own 29 gal. It is freshwater, he has lived in that now for 9 months with me and i dont know how old he was when i bought him. But my boyfriend wanted him and i didn't. Now i cant stay away from him he is so stinking cute. Those little teeth. Should i feed him a frozen block of krill...

He was nipping at the snails but they were so sunk so far in their bodi...
