The Puffer Forum

i have fed my GSP earthworms strait from my garden and he loved them! I gave him the smallest ones i could find and there was no problem with him spitting them out or anything like that. I of course make sure that all the dirt is off of the worms before i put them into my tank so as not to introduce...

thanks i won't be so worried about that now

my puffer seems to eat anything except what he needs. I recently put 3 ghost shrimp and about 10 small pond snails into his tank and he ate one of the ghost shrimp almost the minute i put them into the tank but he won't touch the snails. i read that snails are essential to a puffers diet and im slig...

the tank is a ten gallon tank and the medication is called Quick Cure and is for curing Ick and other parasites.

well the water temp in my tank right now is 77 and the meds that i used said they were ok to use on puffers and other saltwater and freshwater fish. he is now back in the 10 gallon and my goldfish are in a new tank. I made sure that i put him in the old tank because everywhere i read it says puffers...

Last week i bought a small green spotted puffer, however i soon found that he could not stay in my goldfish tank. This was not because he was bitting their fins but because the goldfish were bullying him. I put him into the only other tank i had which was a 1 gallon tank i use for the "Hospital...
