The Puffer Forum

ooh, you guys are making me get second thoughts :P Hm, prime is no problem for me. Its not really that expensive (10 dollars for 250 ml) because if you figure it out, its actually cheaper than those other dechlors cuz it is a higher concentration. I actually just bought a new bottle last week lol (i...

not trying to argue or anything but what is the expensive thing about brakish? From a few quick calculations, a bucket of instant ocean should last me about 10 months-1 year. Am i forgetting anything? Haha, i really wish i could do saltwater. Its better to go big but going big is expensive. Its chea...

well, the wierd thing is i dont see a lot of dwarf puffers around here. My lfs has one i think, and a petco that is pretty far away has like 2. How much can i fit comfortably in a 20 gallon long though? The only thing im afraid of is being able to feed all the puffers and not have one eat more than ...

hm, i might ask them what day they get their shipment in.

Im just scared of keeping dwarf puffers because they look so small and i'm scared i wont be able to take care of them.

Are there any good online stores that have good puffers but cheap (but still good) shipping?

haha, wouldn't that be cool, having a sand substrate with a car halfway buried in it. Then have some surfboards sticking out.

While im at it, why not add some picket fences that are like broken.

Typical beach secene imo

thanks for the website! Hm ok, im getting second thoughts about no lid. The only problem i see with using those wire meshes is that the outside of the thing is like a strip of metal which might be hard to cut. Also, i dont know if its only mines, but the mesh lids i see have pretty small holes in it...

lol, if a 50 gallon bag of instant ocean gets me around 140 gallons, I wonder how long a 160 gallon mix bucket will last me

wow, i think this is my first post where i havent asked a question yet :O

never fear, i just cant remember right now.

Thanks for all the help!

Oh ok :D I guess ill just have to look at the bag and see what the directions are like how much cups/tbsp is need per gallon to get x sg. Then find how much it would take to get to .002. I will try to count it as 18 gallons of water though because of the gravel and decor. Because the tank is so smal...

One thing i saw that was pretty cool was having a sanday substrate and buy one of those old looking cars with the optional bubble thing that lifts the front. Then you bury it halfway in the sand so it looks like the car has been abandoned there. It looks like something that can actually happen you k...

ah, i see. I wont feed him fish then. What is a piscivore btw? What i meant was that the aquaclear 30 is in a tank right now with small bodied fish. Although there is bacteria in the filter, im not sure if it is enough to support the gsp when i just put him in. I was just wondering if i should do li...

hm, didnt think about them keeping it in freshwater lol. Do gsp jump a lot? The 20 gallon tank has no hood although it does have a diy light. The reason for this is because i live in florida, and in the summer, tank temps can get blazing (~85-87degrees, sometimes even 90) and so i have no hood so th...

Hello all :D I am going to have an empty 20 gallon long soon and was thinking, should i get one gsp with no other tankmates for it? Now i know that a minimun of 30 gallons is required but i dont have that (yet). I would get the fish from walmart since that is the only place i see that sells it and t...
