Please those of you that helped me ID him can you look at my thread in the hospital im afraid little bumblebee ( his new name ) is dying =( . Im very very sad atm i got back into fish because when i was a kid my parents raised many varieties of live bearers and cichlids and angle fish but my own for...

Oh also the white granules on top of him arnt ick its sand when i was changing water today i stirred some up and it landed on top of him before i took the picture . EDIT here is a link to my other post were i IDed him as a gsp it has some other info i dont have time to retyp if anyone is interested ...

Ok first 20 gallon running 2 filters Am 0.50 Nitrite 1.0 Nitrate 5 ppm 2 X 50 % water changes every day is what im doing atm 1 when i get up and 1 when i get home from work . please read entire post before respond please please . I realize first off this tank isn't cycled i had no idea when i bought...

hrmm well im glad you posted that i will stop treatment with the melafix then i suppose , i had already put it in the 55 though tonight =( however i didn't remove the carbon filter inserts so i guess maybe it didnt last long in the water anyhow ? after reading this i also went and did a 40 % water c...

Ideally i suppose i could get another GSP here is the thing though both my local walmart ( were i got this one ) and my local petco only stock dwarf puffers though i suppose i could just watch for another inch and a half long spotted one like him to come in and buy it hehe . And as for marine can th...

i went and bought some melafix should i add it to the tank or shoud i remove the sick fish and dose him in my 10 gallon tank ( it has nothing in it atm just gravel and plain treated well water .

i have a 55 cycling right now with nothing in it that he/she can move to can i house anything else with it though ? So i take it its pretty common to buy dwarfs and get some other variety this one cost me 3.99 $

oh and meant to say also thank you ppg for the camera info i did indeed have a flower right next to the mountains on my camera -) and it worked very good .

here are some pics of a few fish i think are sick if anyone could help me to properly diagnose them id greatly appreciate it . The molly with the black spots that was supposedly a silver fantail . http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae67/Asteroidea/PETs/100_2888.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums...

ok if this works here are pics ( my first time tryign to load them hehe ) http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae67/Asteroidea/PETs/100_2880.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae67/Asteroidea/PETs/100_2898.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae67/Asteroidea/PETs/100_2890.jpg http://i958.photobu...

i got some good pics of him coming soon uploading to my newly created potobucket account now . atm he is in a 20 gal but i am cycling a 55 gallon atm that has nothing in it was gonna put ciclids in it but i could move him to it once its cycled ( about 2 weeks )

So just wondering if its possible i got sold a gsp as a dwarf puffer . My puffer dosent look anything like the ones listed in the dwarf puffer pics in the puffrpedia here, but he looks exactly like the GSP he is only about an inch and a quarter or so long. He actually looks just like the picture in ...

he shouldn't be a a dalmatian but we do have 2 dalmatians with them when we bought them they were all totally silver and were housed by themselves same with the dalmatian mollies . but now after we have had them together the silver ones have all started to get various different types of black spots ...

To the other poster return is not an option at this point , also most of these fish including the puffers ive had for 3 plus weeks now . Nobody has died in several days and i am changing the water very often(50 to 75 % depending on which tank daily ) as its very easy for me to do being on a well wit...

Ya hopefully there isnt any sickness in the stuff i got from them . and as for other LFS in my area only a wal mart and there are always dead fish in there tanks they had 15 puffers in a 10 gallon when we got our 2 . and several dead in the tank =( . One of my puffers is doing very good he eats dail...
