The Puffer Forum

I dont have too many good places around me that sell fish and and they dont sell odd fish as people like to call puffers. Well I guess I will just try and find my puffers somewhere around here, thanks

Your tank is beautiful!!! I wish I could afford a bigger tank but when I had the 55 it cost me so much it almost made me sick. But it was worth it, I would like to have a 125 but I can find one that someone is getting rid of. I miss my saltwater puffers and freshwater puffers just arent as fun :) It...

The live rock fell and caused it all to fall in a short period of time and cause the bottom to spider. I was out of town and was having someone watch the tank and they didnt see it and when I came back the tank was half empty and cold as ice. I just don't think live rock is very pretty thats why I d...

I am not new to puffers or to salt water but I got out of the hobby when my 55 gallon tank busted and killed my 2 puffers. I have had a lot of luck with puffers and I want a Valentini they have always been my favorite but I could never find one. Now I have a 29 gallon tank that is just sitting there...

What is the adverage price for a mappa puffer? I really want one but I can't find one anywhere.

I know I hate that all he will eat is krill. But I have tried everything!!! And I have read the article but no luck and when I starve her fins start to become missing. I love her to pieces and I don't want to lose her and I don't want to force feed, I am doing that with a porc at work but its not wo...

Hello and its nice to have some time to get back on and talk to everyone! I just wanted to tell you guys that I have another porc, I left the tank empty and just put her in. I love her to pieces, she jumps out of the water for food and also spits water when you don't give her the food right away!! I...

Well the tank is still empty except some shrimp just to see if I can have life in the tank. Thanks for the help I am going to keep the tank empty since I am gonna start another one with just corals later on so I am saving up for that, but I think it will have to wait till I move.

I don't think anything lived the move. I know the puffer had ich but no one else did, and she actually got rid of it just before the move. I heard to leave the tank empty for 2 weeks and then if the levels are good then I can add fish. I already bought a porc to replace the one I lost since it wasn'...

edmlfc1 I'm so sorry about your puffer, I know how hard you worked to save her :( . I bought the canister filter since my boss told me it was better. Thank you Nick for telling me that, but I had 2 filters running on my tank and everyone was fine so I think I will be ok. I don't mind doing water cha...

OK so the water change had nothing to do with it. That makes me feel better, so next time how should I go about moving the tank? If I leave the sand alone will that help? I just don't want to mess it up next time. I really don't want to get a protein skimmer, I have talked to a lot of people and the...

Congrats he is beautiful!!!

Do you think I shoudl just take some of the sand out? I think its about 2 inches, its not very deep. Next time when I move the tank should I just leave the sand in there with just a little water and move the tank on a board? I am gonna get a canister filter to put on there since I don't have a sump ...

Its about 2-3 inches. I took the fish out before I moved the sand and I let the sand settle before adding the fish. I did have to do 20-30 gallon water change, even though I tried to take as much water as I could. I had a 5 gallon bucket with the sand in it then I had a 32 gallon tote full of live r...

Thank you guys for all your support!! I will never give up this hobby I love it too much but I have never lost that many fish at one time before. I also didn't know how badly this would affect me and my boyfriend. I have been depressed all day yesterday and today. I really miss the puffer and my tri...
