The Puffer Forum

It took 2 months for my LFS to get them. All the chain pet stores quit carrying them. Oh and mine sells them as "bb" puffers.

I finally have my dwarf puffers!!! So excited!!! I've had the tank cycled forever now and been waiting on the LFS to get a shipment of them in. I've had 4 otos and 4 ghost shrimp. The puffers are still getting used to the tank, they travel in a gang. I would get pics but they keep moving around.

Ok I left my home at around noon to drive 1.5-2 hours to another city to get Bloats new tank. I get all the way to the guys neighborhood and my car shuts off, and wont restart, as in does nothing when I turn the key not even a click. Then whil im on the phone with m mom talking to her(shes no real ...

I have some anubias, amazon sword, and i've forgotten the others! One looks like hornwort but isnt. then there is a short low light leafy one and some type of grass. I am going to need some more plants for the dp's. The amazon sword and anubias and a thing of driftwood are the tall things in the tan...

The brand and all is in this thread a few posts back. It has instructions but I was scared since the tank was still cycling and I am waiting on puffers. The water has gotten a bit better (havent done anything to it though). Like i've said I have never used this so I dunno. They told my bf at the lfs...

My question is how do I use the Iron and Carbon, How much, How often, etc?

I was trying to take a more detailed approach on asking the question about iron and carbon by making a separate thread about it. I DID accidentally post my detailed question twice. But they both got locked. I just got scared that no one would read AND answer the questions I posted in this particular...

Well they locked my other thread since I asked more in detail about the iron and carbon.... Even though in this thread I barely asked. Anyway the brand is Seachem Flourish Iron Supplement for the planted aquarium and Flourish Excel Organic Carbon for the planted aquarium. That was for whoever asked....

Whoa! that is crazy! Sad too I'm sorry to hear about that

Thanks for the advice, i've seen a few articles but that one was the most helpful and informative for sure!

Well my question was still not answered after the first one, and I obviously didn't mean to double post the exact same thing.

I'm currently cycling my tank for Dwarf Puffers, its a 20 gal planted. I plan on getting around 4 to 5 Dp's and maybe 3 Otos. I keep seeing things about Aquarium salt for Freshwater. Is this recommended for these fish? I've had tanks before, but never used it and never had puffers. I did buy some bu...

I have some easy plants in the tank, anubias and some others I forgot what. Anyways still cycling the tank, going to get dwarf puffers (and more plants too). Its a 20 gal. As soon as I put the plants in I got green water, so my bf went to the lfs and they gave him carbon and iron. Ive had plants in ...

Still waiting on my tank to cycle, its a 20 gal, I was originally going to get some sort of cichlids, but decided on dwarf puffers as I have always been fascinated with them. I have a piece of driftwood and some plants in there now, going to get some big rocks too. Anyway Probably 4 dp's, 3 otos, an...
