Thanks, I removed the tropicals before I put them in. It must be that they are full, I have been feeding twice a day

thanks

Yes I have a master test kit and all is well, I am hoping they are just stuffed, they all have rounded bellies, I am hoping the missing 2 are hiding out.

thanks

HI everyone, I recently got 5 dearf puffers, 2 immediately disappeared, I still can't find them. Intially they cleaned up the snails in the tank within a week. I think I have 3 or 4 now and I fed them blood worms which intially they ate. The past 2 days I have noticed they are no longer eating the b...

Thanks I will try it, I have noticed that one has already establish his territory, I imagine when I add more I should add more plants and rearrange things so it is new to everyone and they can find new territories

The water parameters are fine,I have been fish keeping for over 20 years, I tested and everything indicates the tank is fully cycled, I still only see 3 when I am feeding, do males tend to hide more? Also for those who feed frozen blood worms, do you give a full cube or just part. I thaw mine and ju...

Thanks they are dwarf puffers, I let things settle and fed them and still didn't see them. They are the 2 skinny ones I thought were males, maybe they were just sick and died and somehow are stuck somewhere, I will keep an eye out. Hopefully they are just hiding

Hi everyone, I just cleaned my puffer tank and had to rearrange some plants in the 50 gallon and I can only find 3. I looked in the filter, intake valves and nothing, when I did a vaccum I didn't find any bodies. I wonder what is up. I notice one puffer had already established a territory, I thought...

Thanks, I had it set up for some tropical fish but transfered them to a 125 gallon. I need more plants for the puffers, I will probably check the local fish shops this weekend and this time I don't have to try to pick of snail eggs :lol: When feeding should I give them a whole cube of blood worms or...

They ate their blood worms at least some, how often should i feed them, I was thinking twice a day but they have snails so maybe once a day. I saw them picking on snails and also at the plants and wood, They are swimming around more. The are dwarf puffers right? They were labled as pea puffers, One ...

I just picked up 5 for my cycled 50 gallon tank, I caught 2 of them biting a snail. They only had 5 so I got them all, I think I got 2 males and 3 females. here are some pics http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z49/6dogsdad/8.jpg http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z49/6dogsdad/8.jpg http://i193.photo...

Ok confused, In a 50 gallon us tank with lots of plants and site blocks how many should i put in?

thanks again

How many can i put in there? I think the shop only has 5 or six? I am not sure if they are old enough to sex. I was thinking about getting all that the shop has

I have tons of snails and frozen blood worms, should i feed them right away or should I wait until tomorrow. I am getting them tonight after work

thanks

I found some pea puffers at a lfs. I am pretty sure they are dwarf puffers. My tank is 50 gallons, cycled and planted. Can I get around 6 for the tank?

thanks
