The Puffer Forum

i might need to check into brackish too, just thought it would be a pain also to monitor the salinity, ph, etc. thanks for the links.

i might have to hold off another couple of weeks before i get a tank......trying to get my half sleeve....haha

thanks cute. yea, i am just happy to walk again. things are going slow but at least i am here for them to go slow...haha. well i guess i need to do a little more research on the saltwater tanks. from what i seen in the past, it appeared as if it would be a lot of work. the less water changes would b...

thanks all for the replies. sorry for abandoning this thread but the military kept me tied up plus i had a major accident which left me unable to move around for months. ok, i am back to looking again for a tank and some puffs. i believe I will end up getting something in a 30-46 gallon range. i am ...

wow. this is what i was looking for. i am not trying to make it sound as if i am lazy, but right now the military occupies majority of my time, so i have to find something that doesnt require a lot of maintenance. I guess i need to stick to the freshwater, lol. I really want a tank again bad though....

So basically same thing as fresh, just need to keep marine salt in it and keep an eye on the salinty?

Ok, so how much more work is it to maintain a brackish tank for a puffer vs a freshwater tank? Again, I had a freshwater tank before, but what more would be required for the brackish. How much more would be required for full marine? I guess I would need to know how much more as far a physically and ...

yes pics...

wow, so i guess i need to check my lfs to see what are available. hmmmm. i really wanted a puffer that got bigger than an inch and was somewhat active.

Wow 75%.....How stocked is your tank?

I was only in the hobby for a year or so before I had to sale my tank, but I always checked my water every week. Never had any real problems.

Yes the filtration does make sense, thanks. Yea, most of the local stores mainly carry those three particularly. If I cant find anthing local, is it recommended to ship or not. I dont know if they are more sensitive to shipping than than fish with scales. I would hate to get one with ich right away....

i am looking around in the pufferpedia and think i may have found a few that fit my preference. I forgot to add, i am wanting freshwater. Easier maintenance. I guess my next question is will the nano/eclipse filter in the hood be enough. I had eheim cannister filters before, but i want to go with a ...

I am thinking about getting back into the hobby and want to pretty much only deal with puffers. I had two before and loved them. However, I am thinking about a much smaller tank which will keep the maintenance down. I am looking at getting a 12 or 24 gallon nano style or eclipse bowfront style tank....
