Ive had him for about 4 months he eats freeze dried blood worms and mysis shrimp i cant get him to touch anything else and ive tried everything my store offers. he can open his mouth and everything and i can tell he is hungry but its like he cant keep anything in his stomach. Water parameters are fi...

ive noticed my porcupine puffer was getting kinda skinny so when i fed him i watched to make sure he was eating and he would suck the food in but then just spit it back out. i fed him mysis shrimp cuz its his favorite and he still just sucks it in and then spits it back out

I came home after class this morning and my porcupine was floating straight up and down with his tail end up and he was struggling to swim downwards. the left side of his body looks a little mishapen does he maybe have some air in him or what is wrong with him and how can i fix it?

no he just likes to swim around at the top when i feed him he will swim down and pick it up off the floor

thanks pufferpunk i put in a castle and a broken pot between that and the live rock thats already in there he should be able to find some where to hide but he tends to stay at the surface of the water and just watch me and hope i bring him food.

i recently purchased a porcupine puffer and when i got him he puffed up at the fish store then when i got him home he puffed up when i put him in the tank. it is a juvenile but i took extra special care acclimating him and making sure he felt at home. He shares his home with a snowflake eel which is...

ok i cleaned out one of my tanks that just had some water and sand sitting in it today and i look in there and there are little redish brown worms swimming around. they swim kinda like an eel and bury themselves in the sand when the light is on. any idea what they are? there not very big probably a ...

You might get away with Carinotetraodon irrubesco .... I have them in with several other fish, including other redeye species, Figure-8 puffers and BeeBoo, my MBU, also rasboras, corys, different gobies (not BB), and even a little aquatic crab! But make sure keep them in a small group, preferably m...

ok so with the hyposalinity do i just put him in a tank with a low salinity or do i put him in one with the same salinity then lower it with water changes? also i was inspecting him for white spots and i noticed his stomach was moving around. i had just fed him about 15 minutes earlier but could thi...
