The Puffer Forum

I'm proud to report my puffer has been alive and in excellent health for almost 6 months now. Again greatly due to the amount of reliable information this site brings together.

Havent seen signs of ammonia or nitrates. My puffer eats more than I can keep up with.I clean the rocks every water change. The puffer poops ALOT! He eats 10 mega worms a week and if I dont give him alteast one a day he will eat the minows. Sometimes ,even after I feed him untill he wont eat, he sti...

Really tiny about 3-5cm and super thin. If they are bad I want them GONE! there is now way imma lose puffy now...

When I change water/clean the rocks I suck up little worms that live deep in the rocks. Please help!

when they expire they start to change slowly to dark ive noticed. 2-3 weeks I'd say.Its sold with 3 refills, i just change it every week. And test with the drop kit when i change the liveNH3 to make sure

Its a meter thats made by Mardel that sticks to the glass. and shows your ammonia lvls live

I went through a point where the lvls bounced but havent seen any ammonia or nitrate in about 5 days (counting today) I have little test strips that stick to the wall of the tank and if they ready any amount above 0.1 they turn red.

Check out the new pic and see for yourself!


Things have come a long way.

its the same puffer........ I wouldn't buy another of the same type in the same 3 days! After almost killing the first one... Do I portray myself as that stupid? (lol bad question probably)

I think the bump might be from him rubbing his noise on the glass...

My BIG problem is sloved. Its the same puffer too. And the pic is in my gal. Been using the web on my phone today or I would blow up the pic and post it here mybad pufferpunk

He has a bump. Not discolored or anything and not very big. But its there on his (left in the pics) right lip. Any thoughts on what it might be?

Awsome! I'll wait a week or two before I do anything. I'll just change the water when I get high nitrates. Once I'm sure I've got stability I'll put sand and what ever else puffy needs to be happy. And guess where imma go for advice! Lol

'We' as in everyone on this site not just helped but saved my puffer. Through expert help (from real people) my puffer will be nothing less then tickled belly porker who is kept in the best care thanks to everyone who has help. I can't thank everyone who contributed enough. And to everyone who keeps...

Woot! Will it or can it revert tho. Atleast in the beginning stages.
