The Puffer Forum

The wild ones would make me nervous. Actually all of them unless they separate wild and captive bred w separate sump, etc. I would freeze personally.

I agree. I moved Alice from 75 to 120 gallon and she is still sulking. Eating now but ‘sulk eating’ lol. On a good note, she is still eating northfin carnivore and kelp discs.

Thanks. I read about thiamine. My latest post was asking about pellets bigger than 10 mm. Are there any?

Quick question. Alice is doing well growing at about 6 inches or slightly smaller. She continues to eat pellets/disc as her main diet. She also gets snails and crays occasionally. I have a mystery snail breeding tank set up. Anyways, is there any pellets/disc bigger than 10 mm? She is eating northfi...

Ok ok. Do U know what about krill that cause lockjaw? Am

PP. do u think it will be detrimental if the first ingredient of the pellet is Antarctic krill? No sure if krill is still causing lockjaw?!

I’m away for about 10 days. We have someone to visit the cat and can feed Alice (puff) every other day. I don’t feed too much when I’m away and the swordtails are there If she gets desperately hungry.

Thanks. I plan on still giving seafood but when I’m away, it will be easier to feed pellets. She didn’t like pelleted food until the swordtail started eating them and I think it triggered a feeding response. She used to try but spit out. Now she just eats anything that goes in the tank. She loves cr...

I have a very young fahaka puffer, about two months old and 2 inches long. He or she came to me when he or she was about half an inch. He’s been eating a mix of seafood but currently start eating pellets. Is there any detriment to feeding him or her mainly pellets. I know that teeth need to be groun...

Yup! Lol!

Got the puff. No red I the eyespot and not much activity. More nocturnal. Reminds me more of my ol' turgidus.

Is this med dependent? Levamisole on another post here seems to suggest bah works.

oh okay. Another stupid question...on the link I posted ( http://www.fws.gov/fisheries/aadap/PDF/ ... 7feb07.pdf) they said they use prazi to treat tapeworm...how does that work as they use it as a bath.

Thanks.

Js

do they have to drink to absorb meds?

I also thought treated "baths" work as well. I treated my apisto with levamisole but I treated the tank and not food. This link also say prazi may work as a bath: http://www.fws.gov/fisheries/aadap/PDF/WAS07%20Drug%20Session/1630%20hr%20A%20Mitchell%2027feb07.pdf I am not sure how accurate...
