The Puffer Forum

Awesome! I will think about it. I think the Ctenopoma acutirostre are just gorgeous. Some day maybe i'll get a few in a nice big planted tank. I wonder if they would work well with a tire track eel?

Yikes well nevermind then. My bad.

The Spotted Climbing Perch, leopard cichlid, umm its been a bush fish and a gourami too... but its most common common name is spotted climbing perch.

okay ive been looking around. And I coulda sworn I read these guys were brackish water... but now I can't find where I read that. Says you can keep these guys in FW?

Okay I have seen that some people keep Mono's and BBGs with their F8s... has anyone kept Spotted Climbing Perch with them even though they get a tad bigger than the F8?

Thank you. Tomorrow I add the first round of marine salt to the tank.. I am excited.

Yea he's tiny. He still hasn't gotten all the snails in there. I can still see a few that come up to the surface line of the water so he's still got a few more to get. It's funny when people come to look at him and see this tiny little puffer in a tank all by itself. It's nice though... with as fast...

I spent all morning calling around all over the Dallas Fort Worth area looking for an eight figured puffer in good health. I finally found a store at 2pm today that sold them. I was giggling the whole time. I got the healthiest brightest colored one. He's about an inch big and extremely active and c...

Hey have you tried looking in the library or a bookstore on koi care? I know they have whole chapters on procedures for first AID for koi. I've seen photos in some books of them fixing a prolapsis and removing things like what you are talking about. Worth a shot? I myself have been keeping koi for o...

Well i showed earlier in the post where my stats were at then I updated it. And I have checked every day since and its staying at 0 and pH 7.4. The snails are bred from my 210 gallon... they like to breed on the filter media that happened to be the one's I stuck in the tank. And that 210 gallon has ...

I talked to one of my friends that works at an extremely reputible fish store in Austin and told me that as long as I saw Nitrites in the tank then it has been cycled. It would bizarre if I hadn't... but it jumped as soon as I put the filter media from my other tanks in that one. And all cleared at ...

hehe awww thats so awesome! Super cool

Hmmm yea I used my pond test kit and it showed the same thing? So what does this mean? Is it okay to put a puffer in there even though this is a bizarre event? Or what should I do?
