Re: Fahaka - strange "infection" in tail

Melafix It on its way. But the order may take up to 5 october, a week from now. Meanwhile Yoda's condition is getting worse and worse. He does not eat, gettin thinner and the meat around the wound is gettin white. I also think the Syno, his tankmate who is always hiding under wood, is now feeding fr...

Re: Fahaka - strange "infection" in tail

Yeah it looks worse when he wraps his tail. When he waves it out its a better view.

Ok, i'll start with the salt. Just found out its a b*tch to order Melafix or Kanaplex in the Netherlands. Nothing but webshops from the States sell it.

Re: Fahaka - strange "infection" in tail

Finally today Yoda decided to swim around a bit so I could take a photo of both sides of his tail. He is always wild so always hard to take a clear photo but here are two.

Re: Fahaka - strange "infection" in tail

Eeek, surgery. I dont know if there is such a person in the netherlands.

Plant fertilizers use with puffers

Hi all,

Is there anybody that can tell me if it is safe to use plant fertilizers, like SeaChem Flourish, in a puffertank? Like the adding of phosphorus, potassium or Iron?

My plants keep dying over time and I want to try and keep em alive for once :P

Re: Taking the perfect pics of your puffers

I take my pictures in the evening when its dark outside. Then turn off all the lights in the house and use a fast shutterspeed. Then play around with the diafragma and ISO a bit untill the fast shutter gives clear and good lighted photo's so you dont need to use the flash ;)
