The Puffer Forum

My wife was feeding them today and one latched onto the other hold on, when they seperated it looked like there were 2 small holes in the one that got bit. I really need to know if its going to be ok???? There is no blood or anything comming out but im still really "REALLY" worried? Can so...

OK the fish names are not so original...

2 Baby GSP's named Bud and Puff.
1 Ghost shirmp named Gumbo who we put in the tank a few days before the GSP's who swims right along with the GSP's. They have been coexisting together now going on 3 weeks.

What do they look like to you? I've noticed a lot of spots on one piece of rock and was wondering if maybe it's something. What I have is gel like blobs with tiny dots. The babies are so small you can hardly tell what they are. I'm new to this but I'm pretty sure the gel like blobs are the snail eg...

I will be changing my tank over to brackish slowly eventually. We also have aquarium salt added as the directions indicate.

Is it bad to have both aquarium salt and marine salt in the tank? Does the marine salt do the same thing as the aquarium salt?

Sorry to hear about your trouble.

I'm new to raising fish and still learning.

where do you guys get your snails? the only ones i can find are those big mystery snails. nobody will sell me the small ones.. I get my snails for free at the LPS. I asked them about feeding snails for our small puffers and they offered to give them to us free everytime. Since the last time we brou...

I have a 2.5 gallon under ground filter w/ bubbler snail tank set up. Gravel a light and 2 decorations inside. Going on week 3. I see what appears to be a lot of snail eggs. Gel looking little blobs on the tank walls. I even saw what looked like tiny white hatchlings...one appeared to have a shell (...

Will do...thanks.

The store where we bought them did not advise my wife and I properly on the care for these little guys. The sales person let us buy a 2 1/2 gallon tank to put 2 baby GSP's into. She advised us to use bottled spring water to start with. She said there was no need to purchase any other chemicals or th...

...so I wouldn't stop with them. The brine shrimp and freeze dried food are the best to get them off, Are you saying I need to stop feeding them the frozen thawed brine and freeze dried bloodworms? We just bought them some freeze dried krill today, is that not good for them? I'm concerned about the...

I read here what to feed GSP but I would like to know what others feed their Green Spotted Puffers. I'm looking for what kind of shell fish is best to feed them from the grocery store already dead. My puffers are babies aprox 1 1/2 big. They are being fed shrimp pellets, freeze dried blood worms, sn...

Right now they both are in fresh bottled water from the store.

I recently bought 2 small spotted puffers and for the past couple day it looks like both of them are taking turn doing this but I dont know if its natural. I just got up and looked ar them and my biggest one out of the 2 looked like he had his tail curled almost around to the front of it's body. Now...
