The Puffer Forum

I have a Fahaka puffer and I did have him in with 2 raphaels but it seems they like the tails I am not sure if it is because they don't move during the day or what but other than the tail biting there was no problem you could try it but be prepared to take them out if you have the same problem my Fa...

I was doing 50 percent every 2 weeks until the bloom now I'm doing 50 percent about every three days.
