The Puffer Forum

So, does this mean that Congos have a certain amount of camouflage ability? I have mine on a combo of white aragonite sand and natural colored pebbles. She stays brown and sometimes develops a black freckle or two. Will the brown ones get any color to them with red sand? How about red color food?

I was cracking up too. I didn't think about a forum word censor.

are you sure you're not thinking of duck? phallus is also very nice.

What a gorgeous fish!!!! I wish I still had my red. But I love my Tater, too.

I read that article and it's great!

My gal has been gone a couple of years now. :( She would go after the really small crays. I didn't know that :( I'm so sorry. That is the most beautiful fish. But also, thanks for the answer. I think I'll try the crays and see what happens. Side note: Big tank maintenance day, and I just found hund...

Why did I suspect that might be the answer. How about yours? Do you feed crayfish?

Sounds really good, Purplecandle. We have a cake store near us that makes the most incredibly delicious cakes you ever tasted. Everyone around here knows, if you're gonna do it right and knock their socks off, you bring home a Taste of Elegance cake. Their buttercream is ethereal. So much so that th...

So far the only foods she takes are live fish and bloodworms, if she's really hungry. I have a tank set up for crays but don't want to foo...

"Dilution is the solution to pollution".

I always thought that a really well-cycled, over-filtered tank would be a breeze to maintain with rare water changes. I learned better this year.

This has turned into a most excellent source of info on blackworms - thanks everyone!

I'm sorry, I should have mentioned that nobody in our area carries them. I will have to get them from an online dealer. Thanks! ETA: checking that link RTR, that's the vendor who sold me two batches of dead worms :( He sells on eBay also. If you have dealt with him directly and had good success, I'l...

I know several of you keep live blackworms for your fish. What is a reliable source in the US, please?
I had one horrible experience with an eBay seller, don't want to do that again.

Thanks.

Thx, PP

Ok.

How long do you leave the mussel in the tank? I want to be diligent about not letting it pollute the water but I have no idea how long is ok.
