my GSP is still able to eat, i think he/she is just being picky.
I need to diversify it's diet

That wasn't my video, I used that as an instructional video. Yes, I did stir the water enough. I will be attempting to clip it's teeth again sometime this week. My GSP has loss weight drastically, so I might have to do it again soon. Last time i check, the upper teeth seems to be ok, but the lower t...

I'm going to give it a few hours and how things are doing. But it seems to be doing fine, but still not eating

Thanks for the quick reply, truly appreciated from the bottom of my heart

I attempted to trim my GSP's teeth, but i couldn't do it. I follow the instruction given from the library bought the clove oil, the cutcicle nipper, and dropped 3~4 drops I first sedate the GSP in a container that has 4 drops of clove oil, but after waiting for 1 minutes or so, the finish slowly goi...

Do I need to soak it in garlic or it isnt necessary. My puffer is much better now. It refuse to eat freeze dried krill, so I switched to frozen mysis shrimp. He/she seems to enjoy it very much.

Just some question regarding the "frozen peas" How do I feed it to my puffer, and how esssential is it to their diet? I read on one of the post stating something about soaking the frozen pea in garlic concentrate and I tried, but my puffer just swim around gaze at the pea, and unsure how t...

I have added the Epsom salt, 1 tbs/10 gallon. Do I need to do any water change tomorrow or after I added the salt? Also I will buy the ammonia/nitrate/nitrite kit tomorrow. Thanks you all for replying. Greatly appreciate.

I tested the water ph today, and it's 7.6

The filter which I am using right now to filter the 10 gallon do have an original sponge, and roughly 2 months old. My puffer had been staying in that same tank for 1 year, and never had a problem. When I moved the tank to my new dorm, I left about 10% of the original "aquarium water" from...

It is still swimming perfectly, no abnormal swimming behaviors. It's swimming underneath the decorated bridge a lot.
The thermometer is set @ 78~80 degree

1) I don't know exactly what the pH, ammonia, or nitrate and salinity is cause i don't have the water measuring kit with me [I recently move to dorm,but puffer is healthy, pearly white belly, and no black rims around the mouth/ or underneath the eyes] 2)Tank Size is 10 Gallon, (rather small, but its...

My gsp has white belly,but hasn't been moving very much or eating much....and it's belly seems a little swollen or bloated up.

I need some help with hydrometer I recently purchased one from petsmart, and when i check my water, is it below 16 ppt, i was wondering if the hydrometer is broken? I added some marine salt into my GSP tank, but after 2 mins waiting for hydrometer to adjust, nothing seem to happen. Do i need to cali...

Small tank such as 10 gallon is too small for a GSP like what they said previously, but also the water condition fluctuate too easily because GSP is a messy eater and tends to leave a lot of debris thus cause water condition to spike from time to time, if you have a bigger tank, the water condition ...

Hi fellow forum viewers, experts and mods I am a novice to Green Spotted Puffer and got one about a month ago. What I am about to say below will probably sound idiotic and many of you will probably ask me to return the puffer so it doesn't suffer abuse from a terrible owner such as myself. I started...
