I have had this porcupine puffer for about 2-3 months now. i have a 300 gallon aquarium with a dog face puffer, blue tang, purple tang,emperor angel, flame angel and the porcupine puffer. My problem is that my porcupine puffer usually hides within the live rock during light periods and then is very ...

i would say right now when i saw them last they were about the same size of a small gsp. about 2 inches in length.

i was at my lfs today and i noticed that they recieved a new shippment of puffers. I havent seen this species before and i wanted to buy them. the name that was listed was gold head papau puffer but when i looked online i couldnt find any information about them. if you have any information or the na...

You can crush the clove or half clove and thaw his food in it. If you're using fresh food, just let soak for a while in the crushed garlic. Or you could use some garlic extract. This is what I've used http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+7927+19398+12022&pcatid=12022 th...

You must feed your puffer a varied diet. Most of those foods listed in the Library article are perfect for your fish. I soak all their foods in the vits appropriate for the type of fish (SW fish get SW vits, FW fish get FW vits). I went to the pet store today and bought a product called "heavy...

I abit unsure of what is the best food for porcs.. he lives off small prawns...and I grind up a fish food for him (then freeze it).. it consists of garlic, squid,octopus and prawns with shell amm... he is still very small at the moment prob 6-7 cm's.. but the same as you I tend to find him resting ...

Is there anyone out there that has a porc and knows what is the best food to give the puffer?

I know the different types of food i can feed my porc, but i just want to know the healthiest method in food types. it doesnt really say the healthiest method of food for a porc in the library. or maybe i just cant find it. for example; my fahaka i take his frozen food and soak it into vitamin water...

All in the feeding articles in our Library. Short-term, to prevent a stressed fish in a LFS from having Crypt a low SG is ok but for best health, keeping a SW fish in BW long term is not a good thing. I could bump it up too 1.020. but what would you suggest is a good salinity for sw fish long terms...

as well, what do you suggest is the healthiest alternative of food for him?

Why is the SG so low? This may be part of the problem. How long have you had the puffer? Many will go off food & sulk, when moved. the salinity is that low because a friend of mine that owns a bigalsaquarium chain (local fish store) avised me that if i was going to do a fish only salt water aqu...

I read the article. i have a couple of questions. the only symptoms i can relate to that is the fish isnt food hungry as others. other then that i dont see any sort of red or white worms out of their anus. im not really a big fan of chemicals and i would rather go about it on a natural way. but what...
