The Puffer Forum

Hmm. Ive decided to hold off until next week. The distributor listed Red-Eye Puffers as coming in on sunday, so Ill have just wait for those instead of possibly getting a fluvialitis.

Well I checked out the order list.
Under BW Fish, they have a Red-eye Jade puffer. What species do you guys think it is? I think I will order it.

Haha well i actually work at one.. Only issue is I dont think the distributer will have individual species. Im pretty sure it will just be red-eye puffer and will be for all three species... Well I guess ill just have to wait until monday for the stock list.

Thanks guys!
Well I think I am going to go ahead and get either a salvitor or a loreti... My only problem is how do I get one?

Thanks... I was a little more affected by it that I was expecting actually.

Could an Abei live in a 20 long for its entire life?

Well after a mjor ich infestation, my F* puffer died this morning :( . So I want to get a different puffer, after I make completely sure my current tank is safe. I was wondering what guys would feel is the freshwater version of a F8, in terms of size, activity and personality. I would get a nother f...

Really nice looking tnaks everyone
Heres mine

I really need to add more stuff...

Well the salinity was probally cruising around 1.002 till last night when I added some more water which brought it to 1.004. Maybe because of the warmer water the salinity read slightly higher, and might have actually been less than 1.002, but now it is without a doubt above 1.002. Ill give him a da...

Its 100% Ich, unless the spines can grow on the fins too...

Well he hasnt gotten any better yet( actually he got worse).... The temperature is it 83F( checked with an IR thermometer) and the salinity is just a tad under 1.004. But the odd thing is, I would never guess that he is sick at all. Hes more active and hungry than ever, its just the white spots that...

Or long enough for a spike...

Well, noticed some white spots on my F8's fin and body: Ich :( So I found the FW Ich article and I have a question about it. It recommends adding salt at 1 tsb per 5 gallons of water, but what kind of salt is it, Aquarium or Marine? I plan on converting my tank to brackish, but figured it would be b...

Thats an awesome setup! Is it brackish, cause I was wondering how those plants would hold up in it...

Well I got a F8 last night and right now he is in a 10 gallon. Hes cruising a little bit too much against the glass, most likely because his enivvronment isnt fully set-up. Anyway, im looking for ideas and would like to see what keeps your puffer happy! Thanks

Oh also when i go to pick a puffer, what should I check for? Should i just make sure hes fins are nice, active, alert, ect.? Edit: Oh also( I know, a lot of questions :D ) what happened to all of the snail breeding articles? I have found links to ones by Rocker and RTR here but the links seem to be ...
