The Puffer Forum

Dear CoreyK- I appreciate your help, I want to know that I took Dragon out of the kindness of my heart from someone else who could not afford to take care of him, and I have spent over $200 in the last 3 months on him. If I had to I would have spent $2000 on him. I followed what the pet stores told ...

This is Jenni again. I want to thank you for all your help. But my Dragon didn't make it. :( On the bright side we learned a lot from this, and Dragon will be greatly missed. But I don't think I will get another puffer in near future unless someone can't have one again. But I will tell everyone I kn...

His condition hasn't changed. He will swim around for a couple seconds when adding new water, but then he nose dives for the floor and stays there with his face in the pebbles till he decides to move again. Don't worry, I didn't add the other stuff.

Water change complete. What temperature should the water be?

What type of water is best to do the water change with: distilled, purified, or tap? Just to make the water change most effective...

Also, the cycle stuff decreases ammonia levels too.

I looked all over for prime and bio-spira and couldn't find either. Even though you said Bio-spira or nothing, I purchased a product called cycle. It has the bacteria in it to help take out nitrites and nitrates. Should I try it since no one seems to have Bio-spira around here. I'm getting more and ...

Hey, I couldn't find any bio-spira, the store that I knew sold it was out and most other places around here don't sell it. I found out about other fish stores in my area and am going to check them out. Also, I couldn't find the prime dechlorinator, but I did get something called DeCHLOR. Will that w...

HE MADE IT THRU THE NIGHT! yay! I have to work today, but my boyfriend will be here and he is going to go out and get the stuff needed. We noticed a ring on his belly, its black. He likes to bounce right now up and down, so I don't know how long he is going to make it. He will be able to tell anythi...

We did the change, his color is starting to come back. I forgot his belly will get really black. Right now there are black areas on it but not all over the belly, he has always had this problem. We also sectioned off the filter and started it so the water can mix alittle better.

It's been up for about a month, maybe even longer.

My boyfriend just came home with two types of medication for Dragon. Jungle Anti-Parasite Medicated Fish food, and Jungle Farasite Clear tank buddies. The last one is a fizz. I haven't put either of them in yet do you think I should? Ive had him for about three months, I got him from a friend who go...

Its called instant ocean. The last one that died stopped eating for three days, but he seemed to be swimming fine, I came home on the fourth day and he had passed.
