The Puffer Forum

Just kidding about the mappa. I had set up a 40 breeder with the intention of moving any corals that the puffer liked to that. I also do not mind eating my cuc I can replace that no big deal.I was thinking of mainly trying softies in my 125. Since you know my history of puffers you laready know what...

OK how about a mappa puffer he is only 3" so it will take him awhile to outgrow my tank? Its a total bargain at $49 I hear they are rare.

Wow you guys don't play aroound . I have never known another sire so dedicated that you would only put one fish in a 125 gallon . kudos for you and shame on everyone else on all the many sites I am on. It is amazing how all the thousands of people who keep successful reefs with more than one fish in...

I did not post pics because I found this site the night before he passed and the lights were off in my qt. It looked exactly like another post here with a porc puffer turning gray and people thought it was vibrio. I also saw the same pic on wet web media where they thought it was a secondary bacteri...

See thats the problem with people who think they know it all and have the perfest setup.

That is why people don't like posting on forum...

I have heard of fish taking awhile to die after a lionfish sting. This pet sotre had him for a month a...

I was planning on rehoming him but this happened. I am just trying to find out whats wrong. I looked on...

What is vibrio caused by. I google it but the only info I can find pertains to humans. Are there any meds for it?
