The Puffer Forum

Okay, I've been off this forum for a very long time. To answer the questions above, I dont have my testing equipment for my tank, its been stabilized for over a year and I've mislocated it. Its a 25 gallon tank with 2 figure 8 puffers. I feed them once a day (blood worms) and do 25% changes once a w...

Hi well after a VERY long time of frustrating issues, Im goin to receive a 29 gallon bowfron aquarium. Now this is a HUGE drop from the 70 tht i was getting :yuck: , But im trying to not let tht get the best of me. So, I went on a lil search around the lfs and have narrowed down the fish i wanted to...

Hi, Im in the process of setting up an aquarium and am in the process of buying stuff. Lol and im trying to find a filter/heater (thts not like overly priced) tht can fit in an aquarium of my size =p

any suggestions?

Its 70 gallons so according to everyone i need a filter w/ 700gph... any recommendations? do i also need a power head or a bubble wand? (its kinda a tall tank) o and as far as stocking goes? 3 f8s maybe 1-2 knight gobies and how many m...

Im planning on using some type of sand. I've heard of aragonite sand but thts a bit expensive. I was alss thinking of white pool filter sand? Also does color matter, I love the coloring of f8s and i'd like to pick a substrate tht'll make them stand out the most

Thanks! i'll do tht. But im not too sure how many i'd want. I kinda wanna keep more than 1 type of fish. I was BBGs or mollies? Idk are there any other "interesting" fish i can stick in there? and the tank isn't exactly too long (36L x 18W x 24H). I was considering 3 puffers

Hi! I just got a 70 gallon aquarium and i really want some figure 8s. However at the lfs they're kept in full fw and i'm aware tht they're actually brackish. So should i cycle my tank as a brackish tank and acclimate the puffers when i get them? Or do it in fw and just acclimate the bacteria?
