The Puffer Forum

Is this research available to view?

Yes, by clown i mean loach.

If F8 are brackish fish why are there so many articles on the net saying that they are fresh?

I have a community tank which i really want to put my F8's into for a while. At the moment they are in the bedroom and i just never see them!

In my community tank is a clown fish, Pakistani loaches, red tail shark, couple of tiger barbs, and 2 angles.

I know its a risk, but anything there a no no?

My F8 lives no problems with 5 BBGs!! He/She also lives with 7 shrimp and has not even taken a nip at them; which is causing a problem as they were meant as food and they just seem to steel it!!! Its a real battle to get the F8 to eat a snail as the shrimp grab it first and leg it!

No, Cant is the best word to use!

Although my F8's for the moment wont even touch the 3 ghost shrimp in there! They happily walk past my F8's!

Shame.

I was thinking of adding one to my puffer tank. I don't have an option for it to get out of the water. The bloke at the LFS said that they don't need to get out of the water.

Hi peeps,

Anyone know how a red clawed crab would get on in a brackish tank?

So the shock will not be too bad for them as they are in FW at the shop?

Just an update: One more died the other day. I think he may have had internal parasites. He just stopped eating. 3 days later it was stuck on the filter. The other two are doing fine eating well and chomping on snails like there is no tomorrow! I plan to go and get another next week. I also want to ...

Well One died, but i expected it. The guy at the shop gave me 4 for the price of 3 as he didn't look too well. Even in the bag he was looking a bit off colour!

The remaining 3 are doing fine. White spot seems to be clearing up and they are little pigs!!

They are very small. I think i have seen DP's bigger!!

The best I could do.. Its hard getting good pics. They always seem to be blurred. http://www.willisonline.co.uk/fish/f81.JPG http://www.willisonline.co.uk/fish/f82.JPG http://www.willisonline.co.uk/fish/f83.JPG http://www.willisonline.co.uk/fish/f84.JPG http://www.willisonline.co.uk/fish/f85.JPG htt...

Will get some pics up soon!!!

That was my initial plan. I will make up some salt mix now....
