The Puffer Forum

Not the answer I was hoping for....but it is a good thing I asked....thanks for the info Nick. I'll make other plans for the 75G. One of my local fish stores just received some Colomesus Asellus a few days ago so I may pick up some of these and put them in or I may get some new Tetraodon Abei again....

I am thinking about turning my empty 75G into a brackish community tank. I already have a Green Spotted Puffer and a Marbled Goby in a 29G. I think I might get another GSP or two and I might get some Knight Gobies . I’ve done a bit of research and found a list of fish and plants that are either brac...

Here is the background, my 75G fresh water planted tank crashed and EVERYTHING died about 5 days ago. I would really like to know what happened so if you have any ideas or suggestions please send them. To answer the most likely questions... Water Parameters: Results from a friend. “NH3-0, NO2-0, NO3...

I am going to start a new thread to try to figure out what poisoned my tank.

The fertilizers are an old bottle of Seachem Flourish I got for free about a year ago. It was open and partly used then so if this stuff "expires" it may be too old. I did not put any in my other tanks even though they are planted as well. Brian by the way....I love Chicago! I went there o...

I am beginning to suspect the fertilizers because many of the plants melted today and the tank had a distinct yellow tint and a bad smell. I know I dosed much more than I usually do because I did not measure, I just poured some in. I remember thinking "ooops that was more than I had intended to...

The only things I did within a 24 hour period of this mystery was to feed the tank some peas...which I had never done to this tank before. I fed all three of my tanks from the same bowl of peas and nothing happened in the other two tanks....so that is not likely the cause. I also added a bit of fert...

did you not cycle? The tank was up and running for months with lots of stock before I added the Abei's. It seems to be a mystery. Some kind of contaminant must have been introduced. Even the worst crash or spike isn't going to kill off that many fish that quickly. It was literally 10 hours from all...

Last night some time the tank crashed and EVERYTHING died., without exception. I am too pissed off to write about it now.

I have three Tetraodon Abei in a 75G planted tank. The tank also houses about 30 Harlequin Rasborae, 15 Cardinal Tetras, a single Otto Cat, a single Siamese Algae Eater and a few Marbled Crayfish. The Crayfish are puffer food and the other fish are all to fast to become food so they are a nice addit...

I have a 40G full of them which I use to feed 3 Tetraodon Abei, one Red Eyed, Red Tailed and one GSP. Everybody likes them.
