The Puffer Forum

just my opinion but i'd say its a combo of the change in the lights after being dim for a few days and the extra commotion around the tank. hopefully anyway. im sure it will be fine by tomorrow.

im planning on it. going to have to wait a few days though. im not planning on leaving the house on account of all the crazy people out on black friday haha. so im working off my food coma from turkey day scrubbing all that crud off as best as i can tonight.

so i picked up my 46 gal. bow front tank from my brothers place today.wow. what a mess. apparently he hadnt done a WC in about oh say 8 months. he just topped it off to keep the noise down. needless to say its got the cure for cancer growing in all the mold and muck on the tank. looks like this proj...

?cool. thanks PP. any suggestion on kinds/sizes?

so ive got a 46 gallon bowfront tank sitting at my brothers and im kicking around the idea of converting it to a fowlr tank for GSP. ive the the GSP for about 2.5 years now in a 29 gal fowlr tank and i want to give him a little upgrade. question is can i just use live rock and a bigger protein skimm...

ya that would have been very cool PP. and thats prettty sad considering they have a documentary on @#$% scrabble that i came across on netflix but nothig on puffers that i can find anywhere.i think it would be interesting to see some of these fish in the wild

just curious if anybody knows of any good puffer documentaries out there? i figure since they have docs on everything else somebody has to have made one on these fish

i never had one die because of puffing. i did have one get wedged in some rock in the tank and couldnt back himself out and everytime i tried pulling him out myself he would puff up and get himself even more stuck. eventually i just had to pull him out before he had a chance to puff but he was fine....

i've kept a gymnothorax tile with puffers with no problem. in fact i just bought a small one yesterday thats about 6 inches long. hes tiny compared to the one that got out of my tank and sadly died a few months ago. never had any sort of aggression problems. just feed the puffers first then feed the...

ya i have the python and everything but it doesnt do much for the algae in the substrate.

i'm just curios as to how people keep thier substrate clean. i've just been stirring it up and burying the brown algae stuff. just curious

well its been a while since i've updated my situation. its been about two weeks since i did a waterchange becuase i was in a pretty bad car accident and have been too stiff and sore to do much of anything but play xbox. but i'm doing it today and i'm trying something different. i'm pulling all my de...

its still the same. after water changes they get sick and about the time they start looking healthy again its time for another waterchange and start the process all over. i thought it was maybe something in my tap water but the brackish tank is the only one thats having any sort of reaction. my 29 g...

nitrite 0 nitrate 0 ammonia just above 0 i just returned from two weeks of training in the army and had my bro feed my gsps, and fig 8's while i was gone. got home yesterday and did an immediate water change. the water was a little cloudy. after the 50% waterchange my gsps had dark lines across thie...

that sucks. i just got my 46 bowfront back from the ex's place, and i want to get a cool puffer like that but i guess not. i've already got 3 tanks in my apt. cant fit another one, especially a tank of that size. any other suggestions? already have gsp's fig 8's and a valentini.
