Re: Solomon Island Midnight Puffer
Is he getting any heavy competition when you're feeding? What did the large BM look like? Just an aside, feeding krill to puffers is known to cause lockjaw but it's usually over a longer period of time. Try stopping that and see how he does.

Re: Happy or unhappy?
Unhappy GSPs generally have dark undersides, dull colors and are inactive. Happy GPS's are active, inquisitive, have hearty appetites, and nice white undersides.

Re: JBL Gyrodol plus 250
With the liquid just soak it with a small amount of the med straight. As for the garlic, you can crush a clove in a bowl or small cup and put the food in there for a few min or you can buy a garlic extract. Kent makes Garlic Guard that works well.

Re: green spotted puffer dying help :(
Fish make waste continuously. They have kidneys too and poop isn't the only waste. Get him out of the bowl and in to a cycled system, like PP said, if you want to give him any chance of survival. Also these fish are best kept in singles, they will destroy each other if left together. The picture you...

Re: Puffers on the IUCN Redlist
The aquarium trade is only a little to blame on this one. Their habitat is being destroyed by polluted rainwater run off secondary to deforestation. This is a huge issue all over the world because the forestland is one of the primary filtration systems for rainwater and water ways are becoming less ...

Re: JBL Gyrodol plus 250
Hi! That product is more targeted for an external parasite treatment not internal but you should be able to use it. Dissolve part of one of the tabs in a small amount of tank water and soak some food in it. You need to treat IP's internally to kill them, not through the skin. The reason a lot of peo...

Re: Figure 8 Setup - order of adding tankmates?
I add one of these to my heaters http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/p ... atid=29387 because I've seen too many heaters go haywire, even the good ones. Redundancy is a good thing.

Where about are you in Wisconsin? There are places you can watch like http://bestfish.com/arrivals.php also watch some of the smaller LFS, they occasionally get them in as F8 puffers.

Re: Fahaka on diet/starvation?
Why on earth is your tank so acidic? Did you put in some uncured drift wood? Tannin's will drop the pH like a stone, also poor oxygen/Co2 exchange will do that too. Co2 is an ionic acid and if you have a fully sealed tank, with a canister filter and little surface agitation you can have a Co2 build ...

Re: Reliable sources for dps online? Anyone? :)
Exotic Aquarium in Sacramento usually has LOTS of DPs. They had two 40-gallon tanks just swarming with them the last time I was there. The fish aren't always healthy there, but with so many to pick from, hopefully you could select some healthy ones. that's some pretty strange logic :? you don't thi...
