The Puffer Forum

After a very tough night, Theo passed away. I spent the night in the living room laying under his tank and woke up about 4am, and he had died. thanks for all your help with him, I really appreciate it. I am going to definately get another puffer as I am completely in love with these little creatures...

We get our water for cycling from our LFS, we did a water change last night and used new water for Theo's "hospital". We also bought Nitrofuracin Green Powder and added it to his tank to treat him. He will be in there for 10 days at the least, but probably more like 14-21 days. Everyday I ...

Just got back from the LFS. Theo is in an isolation tank w/ some medicine. It is ick at the least, and something more critical at the worst. I am treating him for the ick in the seperate tank and here is a pic of my little guy in the "hospital" http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/8988/dscf1...

Now, the yellow has faded and the white in between the brown is turning gray/brown.......This all has happened this morning...I know I can't treat him i...

Hi! He is about two inces long. I just checked on him and he is so lathargic and his tail is curved in to make his bod look like a J and his eyes are couding up. :( Poor guy. The LFS had him in a tank similar to ours with other large fish, so he is use to it (that tank also had one of the biggest li...

Help!!!! I have had my puffer Theodore for three weeks now. He hasn't really seem to ever adjust to my (55 gallon) tank. I do also have a Lion-Fish in there, but he really doesn't mess with anyone (two clown fish, three cardinals, and a couple starter fish from when I got my tank last year- i know I...
