The Puffer Forum

really thank god i though he was stressed or something

hey i hae my gsp in my marine tank nd i just noticed that when he hangs around near the rocks or hides in a cave a while his bellies turns a blackish brown but when he is swimming at the top his belly its totally white. is that normal??

heres an update the little puffer is eating now too i feed some mussles today and they seemed to share the food no fighting at all!!!

awesome info puffer punk thanks soo much

ok so here is the plan about adding salt thell me if im wrong ok step on buy enough salt for my 55gallon tank to become fully marine and get a sg meter step 2 mix a 1 gallon bucket with all the salt that i need for the tank to become fully marine(so its really salty water lol) step3. create a siphon...

some pics

he has been swiimming against the side of the tank for a while now and does nothing else...

i just got the new one today niether have black bellies tho

the new one that is bigger almost looks pregnant is that bad??? the little one is no where near as round as him

im afraid to hold the crawfish by hand dont the bite or snip the little guy wont seem to eat at all not even blood worms the new big guy is eating like a pig

well i went out and i got a friend for my puffer a 2nd gsp hes a little bigger tho... i also threw in a crawfish but they cant seem to find him he seems to be hidding under rocks also tried a small goldfish dont seem to go after them either mm

ok awesome 5 months isnt too too bad and once marine i have sooom any more options for tank mates and such

ok awesome its is currently a freshwater tank wow i didnt realize it was going to take like a year to get the sg tto full marine lol

also im still really unsure of how to raise the sg... that process is still really blurry to me when do i start how exactly to i do it etc??

well here is the issue yes i want to take him to full marine and i think he is lonely right now in the big 55gallon tank...im just not sure of a good tank mate since im slowly raising the sg and the tank will end up marine...once marine i know of lots of fish id like to put in there with him.
