Can you tell the salinity based on your puffers color ?
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...

Re: Porcupine Puffer, bring of death
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

Re: Cutest Puffer Trick
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.

GSP a little over rambunctious ?
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...

F8 died out of nowhere, questions ?
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...

Re: GSP Chomper is he yawning ?
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.

Chomper thought he was stuck
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...

Re: My puffer puffed!
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

Purple algae (not pretty) ?
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...

Re: before and after pics
Here's Chomper when he was tiny and in his little 10g in 2007, ( about .75 of an inch long if even)
and then a picture within the last few months! (3 inches long!)
