The Puffer Forum

Thank you, but the problem is they are in the 30 gallon tank.. they were in the 10 while they were babies. Now that they have grown we moved them to the 30 gallon around a week ago. The 30 gallon tank was not started with all new saltwater. We used completely cycled water from our 180gal. and the sa...

Ok, so I got a 30 gallon tank and i moved my porcupine and sharpnose puffer into it from a 10 gallon tank. the water was cycled water from our 180 gallon tank that only had rocks in it. they were put in on wends of last week. they have been fine ever since. but today i got home from work and my porc...

Welp i just got a 30 gallon tank for my 2 puffers. i really couldnt pass it up. brand new tank, never used with a stand for only $30.00!!!! thats a steal! but im slowly upgrading to larger tanks. my porcupine is about 2 inches and my compressed toby is about 1-1/2 inches. i was thinking about gettin...

Welp, i just purchased a 30 gallon tank and stand for my 2 puffers (i really couldnt pass it up. brand new tank, never used with stand for only $30.00!!! :D ). I am slowly upgrading. (my boyfriend just lost his job and money is really tight right now) i figured my porcupine puffer and my compressed ...

So i really shouldnt be feeding her feeder guppies huh? she did take a peice of clam the other day, but it didnt have a shell on it. her beak is very very small. you can barly see it so im not too worried about her beak just yet. the toby eats everything. i have been giving him frozen brine and a ch...

she eats ghost shrimp and feeder fish. (all live foods.) i think she likes the chase. my boyfriend was looking in the tank and she looked at him, then 360 degrees and then puffed. i walked up to the tank and she started to deflate. i have no idea what that was about but i got worried a little and my...

ha ha thanks. i thing dwarves are so incredibly cute! they just seem to have a whole lot more personality than the average molly. haha

will 3 dwarf puffers, 6 cory cat and 2 bolivian ram cichlids go well together? here are their profiles from the place im going to get them from: dwarf puffer: http://www.azgardens.com/p-816-brackish-dwarf-puffer.aspx dwarf cory cat: http://www.azgardens.com/p-825-cory-dwarf-cory-cat.aspx Bolivian Ra...

i just wanted to let everyone know that bubbles is doing well. lastnight was the first time she ate anything. We got her some live ghost shripm and she went to town. i gave her 3 last night and ill give her maybe 2 tonight. i put some fake plants in the corners of the tank, but im not sure if she sl...

we have some fake plants that we are going to put in there when i get home from work. again lastnight she did not sleep. she hasnt slept since we got her. (i check in on her at random hours of the night) i cover the tank with blankets so that the light from the kitchen wont keep her up, but she wont...

I wouldn't worry to much about her as she is probably just settling in. Word of warning krill is not good for them, as a treat but very seldom as it causes lock jock especialy in the porc's.. What size of tank do you now have her in and was this tank cycled??? Right now she is in a 15 gallon that h...

My boyfriend doesnt like that because he wants to make it a reef tank. when the porcupine is bigger, we are going to move her to a bigger tank when she outgrows the 55.

ok, so we got her yesterday afternoon, roughly 24 hours ago. We tried to feed her last night and tonight but no bites (pardon the punn) We have tried frozen brine, frozen marine cuisine, and clams on the half shell, we also tried cutting up the clam in little peices, she would put a peice in her mo...

i think he is a compressed toby. he is really shy. i keep comming to the tank hoping he will be more social, but so far nothing yet. we moved his tank into the dinning room so he will get use to people comming to his tank. (at the lfs he was in the very top tank where i could barly see him and im 5'...
