The Puffer Forum

But changing water that much is impossible - maybe if it was freshwater, but using up $10 worth of Instant Ocean daily alone makes it an unfeasable solution. Really, my only option is to move the fish from my 29 gallon freshwater tank into my spare 20 long and make the 29 my brackish tank. What advi...

And what are those white splotches everywhere (and around the eye). And look at the caudal fin, what is causing that?

Would Ammo-lock be a quick fix?

But I don't think ammonia/nitrates is the issue here - there is something else going on. View picture:

Well, they seem to be getting worse - I changed 50% of the water and put a powerful air pump in the tank to aerate the water. But my question now is about cycling the tank. At 80% water changes twice a day, how will the tank cycle? And why does have too many puffers in a tank keep it from cycling? D...

80% 2x/day!? That's a lot of water changes. I'm changing 50% right now and within a few days one puffer will be in its own 20gallon

Tank is 15 gallons, ammonia is .25, nitrates/nitrites ?, tempurature is low (72). I'm not sure what to do, what percentage water change do you recommend? Should I lower the salinity?

I have had three Figure Eights for about two weeks now, and they all seem to be sick. At first, I noticed their fins were starting to look ragged, I suspected nipping and started setting up another tank to separate them. However, the fish started developing white patches (not ich-like) on their bodi...
