The Puffer Forum

Ok. so here's what I want to know. My conception is that saltwater tanks need marine sand like aragonite sand. Is this true or can I use silica sand?

ok, so here the whole story. I have some money to spend and I have 4 figure eights in a 10 gallon which is sad, I know.please keep on reading. :stress: I want to know should I buy a 29 gallon retangular tank kit for my figure 8 puffers. O I really want a congo puffer and I wat to keep it in a 29 gal...

ok....So the problem is that fishball is a cutie...hhhhhhm I don't get what the probllem is.

I want to get one for one of my tanks. Whgat is your experience with them, they are cute as hell. that is all I know about them.

thanks, maybe i'm just being to ambitious I don't want to deprive any fish of a rightful home.. but a 55 gallon tank with a toby puffer and some clowns would be pretty sweet.

I'm planning to get a 55 gallon tank with a porcupine puffer and a toby puffer and a few clowns. Would clams be ok for this tank. i'm also going to have live rock. are anemones safe from puffers. polyps, sea sponges? I have another question, would an ehiem 2213 canister filter be good for a 55 gallo...

put some biomax in your moms tank filter. nitrates are eaten by anerobic bacteria, which won't grow on sponges, basically the bateria needs tight spaces to grow like the biomax.

Haha, your story made me laugh. I want to see the little demon. Give us a picture please.

Also, remember that the guy at the petstore can't test for everything in the water, Mineral content etc., ike iodione, calcium and magnesium. You needs special tests for those minerals. He also has no right to say the water is not the problem just for the point that I stated. Plus he should not say ...

What is the nutritional value of plankton? I want to feed it to my figure 8 puffers. The cubed frozen sanfransico bay brand type.

Ya, my figure 8 ate the squid that I gave to them. I bought the squid earlier today. I was going to buy the emerald eentree but I decided to go with the squid. I soppussed to be a good source of protein, so I hope it makes them grow.

Well, your fish waste is broken down into ammonia , nitrites and then nitrates. this just means that the beneficial bacteria has broken down the ammonia and not the nitrites and nritates. You either do not have the right bacteria or not enough bacteria in the filter. Spikes are normal when you set u...

I would ask them What toxin is released. I bet you they would be like uhhh,duhhhh,deerr, I don't know. I would never feed anything I get from the pet store that isn't live unless it's live brine shrimp. I would only feed feeder fish to non-puffer fish. You should have got the frozen squid from san f...

I'm thinking of buying frozen squid for my f8 puffers. They san fransico brand variety. Is it worth it? I bought my puffers frozen muzzels and brine shrimp with spirulnila the other day. There pop has changed color. It is less black. I want a more varied diet so there health doesn't detiriorate. The...
