The Puffer Forum

Lol hi, from singapore too. Did you get that patoca from Clementi Blk 328? I got mine there and have been keeping it in partial brackish for about 4 months now. The shop keeper told me that it is 100% FW but also couldn't identify the species. Yours looks 12123213 times better than mine when i first...

he is currently about 3.5~4cm, living at a sg of 1.004. Well, before that there wasn't any substrate and he looks perfectly fine. His colours started to darken only after adding of this dark coloured substrate. So i agree with Pufferpunk. Here are some pics: http://i35.tinypic.com/11bp1n4.jpg http:/...

Well, six months ago i got myself a nicely-coloured GSP. He was really green and was the cutest GSP i've evern seen. Six months on, some of the green has turned into brown? and he really isn't as attractive as before. Anyone knows what is wrong? I've started to notice this as soon as i changed the s...

Hey Browncloud, we had a discussion back then and maybe this would be of some help: http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=13095&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=patoca Anyway, is your puffer getting along fine? Mine is extremely fearful of me and whenever i appr...

Hey Corvus i did a little research and these pics of C.Patoca came up. This is confusing, can u help me identify which one is the real C. Patoca? The third one resembles the puffer that i own while the other two are nowhere near. Also, some research papers which i found stated that C.Patoca is eithe...

Thanks corvus. It looks like the Niphobles but isn't entire like it. Niphobles have white spots and this puffer has yellow ones. This species also have a yellow "Y" marking at the top of the head. The LFS is a respectable one and it confirmed that this is strictly freshwater although they ...

It doesnt look any bit like a fig 8 or GSP. The first thought i had wasthat it was a ceylon, but after looking at a ceylon puffer, i am dam sure that it isn't a ceylon. Ceylon puffers have black spots but the pufferthere had yellow ones and no ring is present on the top of its body. Instead, it has ...

Hi, recently I saw a really beautiful puffer at my LFS. Unfortunately i do not have any pictures of it and I can't find it in the pufferpedia. Can anyone help me with the identification? To be honest, I am not completely sure if it is a brackish puffer. FYI it has black bands on the top of its body ...

Although GSPs can be found at swampy areas here in Singapore, no one actually catches them. We get them from LFS too like many of you. Try going into these swampy areas and u will end up sinking all the way into the mud. And Singapore isn't in anyway exotic, its a developed country!!!

yeap. but im rather new to this. I never manage to save any of my puffers when they get hit by fungal infection. Anyway, do u know of any place where we can find f8s?

here in singapore, it's really quite easy to find puffers. Haven't seen a F8 before though. GSPs and DPs are rather common. Also seen SAPs and both species of red eye puffers.

Only feed them food that is clean or decontaminated. I fed some snails to 3 of my dad's small green spotted puffers and 2 of them died as a result. The snails were obtained from a nearby pond when they should be bred by the owner instead. There's one hovering on the surface of the water and i think ...

Salinity is at 1.005 pH at 7.5 and temp is at 28 degrees. The white patches are not there now, it only appears white under blue light. The skin looks cloudy and blurry and it looks like the puffer is shedding skin. Is it possible for puffers to shed skin?

0 ammonia 0 nitrites. The water parameters shouldn't be a problem cause the other puffer is doing well. Can it possibly be ich? or issit because my puffer is scared? he got bitten by the other puffer 2 days ago and he swam round and round really fast without stopping.

One of my puffers undergo an immense colour change. The green colouration is no longer visible to the naked eye, instead everything seems to be lightly brown in colour. His skin seems blurry even from close distance and i can see some white patches on him, even the black spots have disaappeared. He ...
