The Puffer Forum

Hi all,
I am just wondering if I was to go and catch crabs would it be safe to feed them to my fahaka?

Thanks for your reply Nick, i have done a search and found this http://www.kusuri.co.uk/shopping.php?class_id=117
Im guessing its ok for other fish and not just Discus?
Many thanks
Graham

Hi all, I am going to treat my puffer for IP`s but i cant find where to get the junlge fizz tabs that i have seen metioned lots of times, Where in the UK can i get it as i cannot find it anywhere? Oh and if it not available in the UK then what would be another IP med i can soak food in that is good....

just did a quick measure and he`s 4" nose to tip of his tail.
He has also been named Walter by my better half.

Just a little update on how my Fahaka is doing. He is doing great and has devilish appetite and is growing realy quick, at least i hope thats why when he is fed at night he has a big belly and 12hours later in the morning he has a flat belly and is at the glass begging for food again. Sorry about th...

Nice set-up...and a nice looking fahaka 8) are clown loaches messy fish? would they add alot to the bioload of the tank? i would love to add something to my fahaka tank always loved the clown loaches whether my fahaka would leave them alone is another thing :? I also have 3 clown loaches in with my ...

Just named my little Fahaka. Maximus
I have a Cichlid tank but most of them are yellow because they keep breeding and the others died off there are far too many to name.....20+ at last count.

How big is bloat now?
mine is about 2inch and was wondering when to try a crab or cray.
I'm feeding pond snails,shrimp earthworms and frozen cockle meat, which he/she is loving.

never used a Rena xP3 filter before but for what its rated for it sounds like overkill for a tank that size. Rena Filstar xP3 Aquarium size 250 - 600 litres . Filter Outflow 1350 litres an Hour . Filter Box Volume 9.1litres Whats the circulation in the tank like? and has the little fella eaten anyth...

+1 to the above.
Mine is real small 2 inch but not as shy.
He is loving earth worms and I'm gonna try him on some ramshorn snails tomorrow.

Well yesterday he did finaly eat the worm :D he had quite a big belly last night. he has just eaten most of his second worm 8) and as you can see from the video his belly has gone down quite a bit untill he munched up the worm, i will give him a week or so to see if he fattens up some :lol: OOooo Wo...

I have a Ehiem external that does 950lph and the internal does 1000lph wich gives about 430gph turnover but i was wondering if i should upgrade the external filter, i read that puffers dont like fast water flow but do need lots of filtration as they are messy eaters (much like my Cichlids). i only w...

what type of sand do you have?

Thanks
Tried giving him an earthworm earlier but no interest.
The sand is just fine sand from my LFS
Just wondering what sort of filtration you fahaka owners are using and is it worth putting an airstone in?

I know.....i cant stop going back and watching lol
i hope you find a suitable home for your puffer although looking at your list of fish i would have thought you would be able to keep him in your fish house

Thanks....i am very pleased and picked the biggest of the three they had in the shop in case it did not eat straight away, now all i need to do is pick him/her a name
