The Puffer Forum

from what i have heard from the 3 days i have been a memeber. Freshwater's salinity is 1.00 So freshwater

thanks for the link to my other thread. hope im not a hassle making another one. Yea it really sucks. Im used to never losing a fish with my cichlid tank and i hate losing a fish. Especially the part of it dying probably because of me

Alright these are the answers I have at the moment. And sorry for the delayed response but im going through some rough times. The belly was slightly rounded. I didnt mix it first... I didnt check my SG because i had hardly put any salt in . I put 5 little scoops of salt with my perfect ph mix stuff....

should i try again or return the salt and everything and stick to freshwater. Is it possible to house a salwater tank with just my whisper 30 filter. If i get the salinity perfect every water change. and withoiuta protein skimmer. Im talking housing like a damsel or two lol

So yea i think i might have screwed up. I put a little marine salt in my aqaurium today. She was fine before. But i didnt even put a lot in. And now she is on her side on the bottom..puffed up a bit. This sucks. Did the salt do it. She hadnt eaten in 2 days too. Idk people. Should i get another one ...

what the heck!?!? she died? uhhh i was watching her swim around then i come back up a couple hours later and shes laying on her side and it looks liek she puffed up a little bit. This sucks.. what happened?

alright well i couldnt find the stickie on how to get a discount but i got it 16$ shipped. Thats not too bad. Will come in less than 7 days. I hope it comes soon.

agh wheres the stick for the discount thing. Im ready to hit checkout! its a darn good deal!

ouch none of the LFS stores around me have any low ones. ANd i checked the only saltwater one and its family owned. :sad: So online i suppose? p.s. my puffer still hasnt eaten anything since yesterday. I tried frozen krill. and a really tiny fedder guppy. The store was out of everything. TOmorrow il...

Alright so as you all know. I just got a puffer fish, a Figure Eight puffer. Patty is in Freshwater right now and I need to slowly add some marine salt to work her way up to brackish water. What is my specific gravity as of now (freshwater). 0.0 ? I really have no clue and i dont even know how to us...

yes i took the filter off ym 46 gallon and didnt clean it at all. I bought Pattie =P frozen krill but she isnt eating it. I put a really tiny feeder in there and she didnt like that idea either. The store was out of frozen and live brine shrimp. Is this normal. Is she still jsut settling in? And can...

Shes in! Shes a little one . I will have to upload a few picks on how it looks. Thanks for all the help. When should I add some salt.

Thanks

Kyle

no worries the JD and 2 other SA cichlids will be gone soon enough.

eh. No. I took my whisper 30 off my 46 gallon and replaced it with an Emperor 280 (also has a fluval 204) and it was fully cycled. I figured the puffer will be ok. I didnt rinse the filter or anything. I know, not cycling for the loss but I think i can slip through this loop hole and just make sure ...
