The Puffer Forum

well i wont let it borther me then, he just cruzes around the tank for a few hours a day puffing up and deflating, kinda cool to watch actually

i have an arrowhead puffer and sometimes he will swin around puffing up and deflating, puffing up and deflating, is there something wrong with him or does he do it just for fun. dont ask me if the tank is in good condition, i know how to keep puffers, i just would like to know is this normal.no fish...

i just bought 2 fx5's for my fahaka and congo tanks and i was just woundering what is the best media i should use in my filters for these fish, if you know the fx5 you can put 3 or more types so if anyone knows what is the best kind of media please let me know so i am able to order it, thank you

ok i will buy the tablets but no luquid, unless there is a good product that you suggest otherwist tablets is all i know

moneywort
water wisteria
acorus
corkscrew val
java ferns
swords
hornwort
cabomba
green mondo grass
frill
scarlet timble

alright i will, i still refuse to use chemicals so i will let the water sit for 3 days then add it in, that sound alright

ph of about 7 kh around 50 gh around 90 no nitrite no nitrate i would like a ph of around 7.2-7.5 how do i raise it, shells? should i leave a few uneaten snail shells in the tank or buy some seashells and i would like to lower hardness a bit how would i do that, i have driftwood but doesnt seem to h...

alright, i will look for crabs and crayfish, i just tested my water and the gh is very hard and my ph is like 6.6, any ideas on how to lover hardness a bit and raise ph naturally, i refuse to use chemicals

and what would i use in my feeder tank to make sure my feeders dont have disease

i would actually like to know what is the highest nutrient feeder fish, i refuse to buy goldfish or minnow feeders from the store, the keep to many in a tank together and they leave dead ones in there, and what would be a high nutrient food to feed them before i put them in his tank

i totally agree, my fahaka will not eat anything he can not catch and kill, and that is pretty amazing he bit it through the bag, he has nipped my cat fish a few times, one time he was under the driftwood and taz(fahaka) pulled him right one from under his hiding spot and swung him around, it was qu...

alright, im thinking of getting a 20 gal tank and breeding snails lobsters and guppies and just feeding them very high nuitrient food, i do feed my snails zucchini

i try and keep him well fed so he does not get that hungry and eat them, sometimes i will feed him a big snail a day for like 3 days in a row, then not feed him one day and feed him a tetra or crab or lobster, i like to change what he eats so its not all the same, but he will not eat a regular cockt...

yeah, well the sicker and the catfish both have armor on them so as long as he doesnt get to their underside they should be fine, it is only a 55 gallon for now but i am working on finding an affodable 130-150 gallon tank for when he gets bigger. and i have a vaccume to clean my old, larger gravel w...

here is a link with a video of my lil guys new home, i just replace the rock with sand today so its a lil merky, but i have a catfish and a rubbernose sucker with him to clean up his messy eating, he loves to hide in his log and hide behind his driftwood and play in his silk plants:) oh and one silv...
