his mouth is a lot better from the melafix. how do i check the heater?

the temp in there is just fine, its between 80-82, is that too high? i even checked the levels they are all 0. not sure whats going on, ill keep using melafix tho until someone tells me to use something different! i guess i thought since i had a GSP as a teen and he lived FOREVER, these 2 would be f...

ugh now my other puffer has a small sore on his lip, im not sure whats going on... im putting melafix in there again, hes still eating. it almost looks like a burn from rubbing up and down the glass but im no expert.

he was double bagged in bags from the fish store, with an oxygen tablet. then he was in a tiny box, and that box went into a bigger box surrounded with packing peanuts. he was in there really tight. i think it was just the stress, i put a tiny bit of melafix in there with him to help the stress but ...

overnight with ups

If you look at my post "Tumour vs Abscess" you will see I am currently having problems with my GSP mouth. Has what would seem to be an abscess on his left lower jaw, which appears to be associated with his tooth. I wondered if there was an old injury - he also still cannot shut his mouth ...

he didnt make the trip

i shipped him off to dado to see if he could help him more. it was $90 to ship him, and i hope he makes it, he is worth every penny

well, i cant tell if hes opening his mouth or not really well, hes pretty small, but his bottom jaw looks cut or injured, so maybe thats why. i have started melafix to heal him up and put more live bloodworms in there to see if he can eat something soft. his normal diet is live and freeze dried bloo...

my puffer just had his teeth trimmed, and he still isnt eating, he is trying with all his little might but doesnt seem to be able to. is this lock jaw?

i think u have to copy and paste the entire link, when i clicked it, it didnt work for me either. its 1/4 cup of blackworms for $8 and $4 shipping, so $12 for 1/4 cup of them. im going to check my fish store tom, if they dont have them ill order these ones. thanks again! :) 1/4 cup of California bla...

ok great im going to ask about black worms tomorrow, i know my lfs carries live fresh bloodworms but im not sure about blackworms, they have never offered those to us, and they know us well and usually suggest things for the puffs ;) ill check tho, just incase. im going to be moving back home soon a...

what vitamins do i get? how do i get him to eat them? ill also look into the earthworms and blackworms, ive never heard of the blackworms.
