Re: Feeding fiddler crabs to puffs!

I have a red clawed crab. They're pretty similar. I actually bought one that was preggo and it ended up releasing all it's babies about a week after I brought it home. I thought my tank had been taken over by a bajillion tiny bugs and immediately did a 90% wc. It wasn't till after a little research ...

I have no idea what it might be but it really is kinda cute. :)
I looked up Gudgeon fish and this is what came up. It looks pretty similar imo!

Re: Feeding fiddler crabs to puffs!

Annabelle is sooooo pretty! I can't wait till Puffy gets that big. :D
I have mixed feelings about feeding crabs. I think it would be soo awesome but then again, I have one as a pet and couldn't bear to do that to the poor little thing.

Re: Feeding and QT live mussels from the beach?

Yeah, I looked it up and it's a no go. Apparently there is some sewage run off pretty close to the beach I got them from. :( Any chance I can find ones this small in a store?

Re: White spot & tucked fin?

I've got both Melafix and Pimafix going in there. :) Is it okay for me to add PraziPro as well or should I just wait till after this?

White spot & tucked fin?

Hello! I just noticed that Puffy has been somewhat tucking his fin and there is a pretty noticable fuzzy white spot on it. The spot wasnt there this afternoon. Did he just hurt himself on something maybe? It definitely doesn't look like ich though! Also, before this, I was planning on treating him w...

Re: Feeding and QT live mussels from the beach?

Thanks! I would love to be able to feed these guys to Puffy. They're just small enough that I can drop the entire thing into the tank and let him take care of it. Does anybody know about the toxins maybe?

Re: Feeding and QT live mussels from the beach?

What would you suggest treating them with? I'm also worried about them potentially carrying toxins.

Feeding and QT live mussels from the beach?

Hello! I was at the beach today and I found a ton of tiny mussels (about 1/2 an inch long) that would be perfect for Puffy. I collected a bunch of them and brought them back and I was wondering how long I should quarrantine them to just make sure that they're safe or if I should not even bother risk...
