The Puffer Forum

I have 2 of them and they really "need" each other. They really orientate towards each other and are more confident together. I would always keep 2.

Oh no ,
I'm really sorry.

I hope so much that you can find your puffer healthy!!!!

Mhhh, I think I will not add any fish...
Now I try to achieve a SG of 1,002, by making water changes with 2,5 gallon of this specific gavity, so I think it will be slow enough. Later (if Muffin grows a little bit) I will achieve a SG of 1,005.

Update:
Muffin becomes more and more tame. He comes to the front immediatly if he can see me. Yesterday he took some food out of my hand, that was great.
Furthermore he got a tankmate: a Neritina snail, and untill now he didn't touched her.

Hey!
Since 4 days it's brackish and the plants should survive, cause ist java fern, java moss and vallisneria.
Till now they seem fine...
The tank is 20 gallon and there is one lamp with 15W.

Hi! Ich changed the set up of my tank to this: http://www.aquarienzauber.de/images//pict6609.jpg My F8 loves it more than before, his is almost not pacing the glasses anymore and develops everything. I think, the most important is: Lot's of decor to explore and perhaps changing decor Best, Jessy

Hi! Ther is no salt added since now. My puffer settles down since one week. In one or two weeks I would like to add salt, I hope the plants will survive, but thy should (java fern, java moss, vallisneria). Thank you very much for your answers, in germany, there are very less people owning a pufferfi...

Hey!
Do you think the pufferfish NEED tankmates for company?
I don't want him to be bored, but ist seems like this because of his pacing....
I like the tank that empty...
