The Puffer Forum

April fools is so much fun.

Dried shrimp has always been all 3 of my GSPs favorite food. I have seen one thread on this forum about someone who had a gsp that had to be burped(I suspect this is only a problem for small puffers) because of dried shrimp so I decided to try a Idea I had to remove the air. I have a big syringe use...

I have developed a simple way to remove the air from dried fish foods. What other compliants do people have with dried fish foods?

1.015 and climbing, I even have a guppy in my reef tank, I haven't tried getting them to breed in saltwater but I will find out once My GSP tank is SW. They are thriving in the brackish tank right now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gYLaYzuTBM

Ok I'm pretty sure she is a female C. irrubesco. She is filling out now, that video is from the 3rd day I had her. The first thing I did was treated her for IPs. I am not worried about the guppies, I had hoped they might become puffer food to control their population, but even my GSPs won't eat them..

Can't anyone tell me the difference? Do female Irrubesco have red tails?

this is the best I can do

Use pool filter sand. Its pre washed and slightly bigger than play sand.

Post a picture so someone can identify it. :) If he's eating well and staying skinny it might be IP's. Have you ever treated him? He will probally eat all the cherry shrimp if he can catch them. Unless he's like my puffer, I think she started a shrimp farm. :shock: She won't eat them. All I have to...

Have you looked for ID in our Pufferpedia? There are many species with red eyes. They all look the same to me, I can't tell which one he looks like. Carinotetraodon Irrubesco http://www.thepufferforum.com/ug/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=880&g2_serialNumber=3 Carinotetraodon ...

I the first place I checked was pufferpedia, none of my questions are covered and I haven't found any articles on them yet.

How do you Identify them? What are their favorite foods and do they get along with red cherry shrimp. I don't realy care if the RCS get eaten I have 100s in another tank, just wondering. How plump are these guys suposed to be? He is pretty skinny, but eating.

Dragon gobies are fine at that SG, they are fine in full SW. But they look to much like a snack to puffers. Its those bacon dog treats, you give them to you dog and they make you hungry because they smell and look just like bacon. After the box sits there for month if your a guy eventualy you get br...

When I had my ceylon I could make him puff whenever I wanted, all I had to do was feed other puffers before him. He was a greedy little puffer.

Find a big leaking tank and reseal it, much easier.
