My GSP Chomper is 17.5 years now! Woot woot, yay for geriatric GSPs!! Still as rambunctious as ever
I think someone on YouTube said theirs made it to 18!

Hello, I've had a GSP Chomper for about 6-7 years now, so I guess I'm doing something right. He is happy and seemingly healthy. He's alone in a 75g however he only grew to about 3 inches. Anyways, I just want to say that I've really only measured salt once or twice, I've successfully been "wing...

my fish got to about 3 inches but then the last 2 years he hasn't grown at all

Also make sure to remember the power of positive thinking. ... and also make sure to give your fish rest time to feel better as it probably won't snap out of it in an instant, and could be stressed from all the stress itself. Positive thoughts, positive thoughts

my puffer chased the red dot and then picked up a pink stone thinking he caught it... chewed on it... spit it out and chased again.... picked up another pink rock, spit it out...

then he saw me and stopped chasing it - like he understood the lazer pointer or something.

Just curious...

Do you flush it, burry it, donate it somehow to science, taxidermy.... ?

I was just wondering if it's normal for a GSP to get more rambunctious as time goes forward. More and more my puffer is seeming really... just hyper. As soon as I'm in the livingroom where he is, he zips to the corner closest to me and he basically just freaks out for attention or something. He'll g...

Hi there I'm not sure if you're supposed to flush puffer fish, or if they need to be burried. Also while testing my water I realized I don't even know what proper pH should be. He's been dead probably 24 hours now, I just wanted to wait and be sure as he is not floating, just on his side on the bott...

He's about 4 now, only 3 inches, just a super close up

Here's the thing about yawns....

In humans, we yawn to get air. Fish don't inhale air via mouth, so i seriously don't understand what he is doing, if he is yawning or what.

I don't know why the youtube insert isn't working, but theres the link

Was this a yawn ?

Chomper forgot he was able to turn around and thought he was stuck in the cave.

He does this all the time, forgets he can turn around...

Maybe your puffer missed you when you left and got mad, and that was his display to show you not to ditch him for parties! Cuz they think your life should revolve around them

What is it and what is the cause? I googled and all I could find was the pretty purple algae that grows in marine. Never had this before, always had green or brown, and this stuff crept up in like 1 or 2 days!!! http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4151/5170568203_616bf1a92e.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr...

So does GSPs have 4 teeth? ... 2 on top, 2 on bottom ? <---- that's what I thought, but i think Chomper has 4 on top... ? ... is that possible?

whoa that puffer looks so cool !
