The Puffer Forum

My methods may seem "unorthodox" to you, ive never done anything "by the book" as we must try things for ourselves to truly understand the function and purpose of everything around us. i have extensively studied botany and herbology and have practiced my methods for a very long t...

hey puffernuke i pay $21 for 1/2 litre from my canadian distributor, but you can find it online anywhere. the cheapest places to look are at soaping supply houses . I make soap and lotions etc so it is something i always have on hand. I use it primarily for my bettas who are prone to such diseases d...

this stuff is the bomb, i use it daily as preventative maintenance and i always add it at water changes and have had great results. Clears up fungus, rot, cloudy eye, protects against parasites and is just a really great "tonic". At $6+ for a small bottle of real melafix this homebrew is w...

I certainly don't mean to disrespect anyone, but i am confident that my tank has been cycled thoroughly, thats with more than 15 years in fishkeeping and 9 aquariums in the house ;) i am REALLY sure i know what im doing in regards to cycling and water chemistry/changes ;) But thanks, i know you guys...

I will no doubtedly pick up something larger during the year, our annual Aquarium Society's big auction is in a couple of months, ...

Yes, Paisley suffered from cloudy eye when i got her. it has since cleared up with daily doses of a homemade tea tree oil solution (melafix) My 5.5 gal has been fully cycled, it housed betta fry for 4 months. I had only intended to leave them in there for 1 month tops.. I just filled my new 33gal wi...

Hi all :) New here and really new to puffers. I had been looking for dwarf puffers for a while and they were nowhere to be found :( the LFS got a shipment of figure 8puffers so I conceded defeat and came home to set up my very first brackish tank. A few days later i went back and picked up a pair of...
