Oops sorry, I put it where I did because he's not in the hospital....

What questions are you referring to?

GSP passed away today. This is the second fish that has died this way. The first being a Fig. 8. I noticed him near our filter kind of floating with his head up. He didn't have much control over his body. I thought he was dead so when I got the net and put it next to him he got rather cranky and tri...

Why do I have to quarantine them? They came from the same place, just a couple tanks down from the puffers.

Should I still do the vin. test? Guess it wouldn't hurt anything if I did.

Thanks again Tina! You're very helpful!

I bought some Polished River Rocks sometime ago for an outdoor project. I decided not to use them so now I have these polished rocks I'm not sure what to do with. (I'm sure I could come up with something though :D ) Would it be safe to place these in the aquarium? I've got some glue that I ordered f...

Hello again, I bought seven little ghost shrimp and put them in my tank with three puffers about two weeks ago. I read that they will eat ghost shrimp. So why do I still have seven ghost shrimp crawling around? The puffers don't seem at all interested in them. A glance now and then but that's about ...

Yes they are in the same tank. They are getting along nicely. Only time there has been an arguement is when one was munching on a snail. Can both of these go full marine? Also, if that is freeze dried shrimp/krill, I hope its being soaked/reconstituted before feeding or it can cause terrible gastroi...

Here are two of my 3 Puffers. I like your set up. Maybe I should put the Lok-rocks in and see how they look. Worse case if I don't like them I can remove them. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g74/hobopuppy/DSC00923-1VividColor.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g74/hobopuppy/DSC00950-1PBContraP...

I just bought the Lok-Rocks http://youraquariumcenter.com/pro657432.html and the "Master terrace" http://youraquariumcenter.com/pro657414.html I opened the box and couldn't believe how FAKE they looked. From the picture you'd think they would be beautiful, fake yes but still nice. I'm stil...

I am having a hard time finding aquarium rocks that I'm happy with and won't mess with the tanks water conditions. I would like to do a rock 'cave' or layer rocks which I could use the special glue for. Can someone point me in the direction of a place that sells nice, natural looking rocks? Or can s...

Hello, my first post :D I have read conflicting advice about how to and how not to keep GSP's and Fig 8's. My husband wanted a GSP so I bought one for him and we both fell in love with the little guy. I have read that you shouldn't have GSP in tanks with other's including more of the same but also p...
