The Puffer Forum

crabs are fun to watch get eaten. crickets are also fun too because they float around and your puffers pop them off the surface.

well, I'm glad to say that all went well and my fish are in there home for the next three months and then its time to move them again. thank you all for your advice, it surely paid off. i also gave them a little treat after the trip, a small piece of shrimp that they enjoyed.

i shouldn't use a net to catch them correct? rather rile them up with something that wont hurt them

yeah, im moving them on sunday.

i could ask. i was thinking about that too because 5 hours without fresh air would be a bitch. if i left the tops of the bags open, could that help? or would it be better to try and put some air in there someway. hopefully with their help

I'm going home for the summer and I'm taking my fish back with me because i don't trust people will take as good of care of them as me. i was told to get a cooler, leave it out so it gets to room temp, put the fish in little baggies with the tank water and then into the cooler so they stay warm over...

this is a sad day as wen wen (the f8) will no longer live a happy life. thank you for the help.

marineland 550 (145 gph)

pros: provides wonderful current down low and my fish love to let it help them hunt for food by turing vertical and letting it push them so they can straff the bottom with out much work, also lets them play in the running water

i noticed that i my breeding tank, i have a ghost shrimp that has eggs inside her. unfortunately, she has no other tank to go to let them swim freely. what can i feed the Babbie's? and will they be OK

they are in a larger tank now, and doing very well. do you think that they might be hurting since they were in that tank for so long? i couldn't afford a larger one and any time i talked to someone in a pet store they didn't say anything was wrong. plus, i couldn't find this forum since it moved so ...

i keep seeing that each gsp should have 30 gallons to itself but I'm not sure if you really need that. i used to have them in a 10 gallon, yes, i said them because i had two and was a broke buttocks who couldn't afford a larger tank. they are now in a 30 with a f8 are are doing amazing, they are gro...
