The Puffer Forum

Kalvin is adorable PP, I'll make sure I keep him away from my bitch

Cute pics everyone!!!


Here's me

I must have the worst luck in fishland. I put a few BBGs in with my Puffer, the tank was divided, one side Puffer the other side BBGs. The BBGs are very small and one got through a hole and ended up on the other side. I came home and found my Puffer munching 1/3 of a BBG. I took them all out and now...

Hey,
If you post the ingredients we'll be able to tell you how useful it is.

Thanks for the response. Do you use a scale?

There is an article in the library that goes over the signs a Puffer has parasites. Since your Puffer is wild caught he most likely has parasites. I would deworm him in case, he may not show signs now but could in the future if his immune system is compromised. Have you seen his waste? Look out for ...

Hi! 1. What is the running cost of a brackish tank? How much will marine salts cost me per month? Do I need anything extra (I read about live rock or something). It depends how often you do water changes. I buy the Petco brand-the biggest box they have for $25 which would last me one month if I only...

Congrats!
Wow, your GSPs a lucky fellow, he has a 55g all to himself.

Welcome to the forum! Puffers are very sensitive to Ammonia/Nitrite, I know the tank is cycled but adding a 9" eel will be detrimental to your GSPs health. Twenty gallons is only enough for the Puffer, they're messy eaters. I think a 20g tank is too small for a 9" eel. You should read the ...

Anyone use this? If so, how do you calculate the dosage? I don't have a gram scale.

I thought this article was great- the author mentions different species. It's def worth reading.

No I looked there, they have one that's for sale called a "red eye" but the people are morons it is def not a red eye (I know this isn't the irrubesco but a related species). They sell people things all the time by the wrong name and misidentify Puffers. They really are idiots. LOL. I hate...

Thanks for the replies,
I've decided I'm going to give this tank to my bf so he can get a F8. He didn't like Puffers at first but now he's in love with mine. He's really excited. I've hit my max for tanks. I'm getting a 36G this w/e to house a trio of SAPs.

Monk after he ate a lot last night.
