The Puffer Forum

I have a baby dog fish puffer. He keeps floating on this side up to the tank, with this bubble looking thing on his side. Hes been like this for almost 4 hours now. He looks so uncomfortable. Any Ideas on How I can get it out? Im thinking he swallowed some air and having a hard time expelling it.

I have had bank of america for a long time and trust me i have had my issues. The one i hated the most they have "fixed" kinda. They used to charge you 35 dollars for even a penny of overdraft. That and they would put charges before any deposites no matter what time of day it was and then...

Did you ever get an email from them asking for your banking info? No, I belive I may have had a virus of some sort, because they had all my personal information and I do a lot of online ordering. Though I am typically very careful about only using trusted sites... I am a computer programmer that sp...

OMG NOBODY TRUST BANK OF AMERICA!!! I had fraudelent charges to my account past couple months so I got them to reverse charges which took weeks. Then I had my remaining money moved to Savings and Checking account then closed. They said took 3 business days to close. After a week it wasn't closed and...

:hijack: That clutch hatched today!! Well at least part of it did. Glad to hear! Just checked on mine before coming on TPF. There are babies everywhere! Plants/gravel/glass/on other snails. I need to find people that want snails nearby haha. Maybe bring some back to LFS to keep population in line.

I am currently working on concocting a 'breeder' tank - home made of course. I have some tubing, and my aerator has an open spot I can hook up to. It'll have to stay near the big tank, of course - but definitely doable. I have a heater, so they'll have bubbles and heat... And I have a spare filter ...

no i didn't. I looked in there last night though and there like a hundred or more all over the glass and gravel

So good news. I found baby snails in my ramshorn breeder tank yesterday. Only around 10-15 that I could spot by eye, but I also have baby hider plastic bush things in there so they are probably hiding out also. when I originally bought the ramshorn their shells were sort of white and ghostly but the...

I understand how it works. That was just a joke because you said it's still in beta... I do programming/networking alot

a friend of mine told me recently about a search engine thats basically supposed to one up google. you would type in a question, it searches the internet gathering information for you and provides one solid answer. i was told about this a couple weeks ago and it was only a BETA so there wasnt a sol...

This site which I've found random useful information on with pets has me kind of disgusted. Saying a porcupine puffer can only get up to 11 inches and need minimum 75 gallons. I feel horridly sorry for anyone that says oh cool I have a 75 gallon tank, I can get a puffer. I wish some people would cor...

My puffers room is dark in the evenings but he can see the tv thru the doorway and he seems to be looking in that direction. I'm sure he's not watching tv. He must like light because he is on the other side of the tank in the mornings where the sunlight comes thru the window before his lights come ...

I agree they can be startled.. But, Aj you have a new dog face..(I am so jealous)..From what I have sen dog faces have a different emotional temprement... Is that true? he is very very submissive. I have a tiny clarky in there for company and as my wifes fish and he just lets the clarky run into hi...

I'm sure they'd probably survive in marine long enough to get devoured. If nothing else, the marine water would choke em up and slow them down, right (just a guess lol)... If nothing else, the fiddler crab I have is cleaning up my tank some... Seems to be getting his fill of junk from the substrate...
