The Puffer Forum

Thanks Pufferpunk... BTW, you rock.. You've always so helpful to everyone.. Keep up the great work on this site, I learned a lot on here..

It can be done, has been done and I've been lucky enough to do it quite successfully. Yes I use RODI water because it's the only way to keep your corals - I don't think it will matter if it is a fish only tank. I have a 75 gallon reef tank with an HOB skimmer, 2 cannister filters (YES CANNISTER FILT...

That definitely wasn't the crab.. A lot of people say these little guys are mean tyo hermits and shrimp, but that hasn't been my experience at all.. Far from it.. In fact I'm going to make a thread right now of one of my puffers, who's in my reef tank, being cleaned by a skunk cleaner shrimp. ;)

No one else with any input?

Hey pufferpunk, thanks for the reply. As you can see I am very consciencious when it comes to providing space for the fish.. I am constantly upgrading.. one of my main reasons for consolidating the tank is to provide the puffers with a little more space since they are getting bigger. The tangs are f...

Hey guys.. I have had my two gsp for a little over a year now. I started 1 of them (P-Diddy) in a 10 gallon tank when he was a baby.. With time I felt the P-diddy was a bit lonely so I half heartedly took the risk of buying a second gsp (Dorie). I say half-heartedly because i was real nervous about ...

Hey how are you? Hope I'm not too late.. You can try "Garlic x-treme" by Kent... It really works wonders! I can't say enough about it. It's pretty much a food soak. You drop 1-3 drops in a little container (or shot glass like I do) and a little tank water and the food. Let it soad a couple...

Hey thanks for the responses guys. Any clue how big a clam/muscle/oyster, etc should be for my puffer who's about an inch and a half? Also, how do I serve it to him? Just crack it open? Boil it slightly? I haven't fed him any of those before. I have given him krill and those frozen mucles they sell ...

Thanks for all the awesome responses guys/gals.. I'll slowly bring Harry up to salt water and I'll take it from there.. =)

I was just wondering if my GSP can become a full salt water fish? I read in a couple of places that if you very slowly raise the salinity that the GSP will actually do better in salt water rather than brackish water... Is this true? If so, what kind of companions would you all recommend? Any other k...

Marksrush. here is the link from the person I bought from.. I asked around forever until I found it.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220284716283&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123 Good luck with it, and tell her Eddie with the Puffer (Harry Puffer) sent you... ;) I believe sh...

Thanks for your great responses guys. I adjusted the amount of food I feed him from 1 worm to one and a quarter worms per serving (2 servings a day) and he seems a lot happier (well at least his tummy is white more often than not for the past couple of days).. Maybe I wasn't feeding him enough?.. I ...

Hey all, thanks for reading.. Ok here's the deal.. Every now and then my GSP will turn a bit dark around the sides of his belly (not the entire belly) and a little by is mouth. But the real wierd thing is that if I hang out next to him for a little bit (a couple of minutes), his entire tummy will tu...
