The Puffer Forum

Dear Myaj and English George, Thank you both so much! Myaj...the pics you posted were so helpful (I obviously missed a few photos in my web search)BLESS YOU! :D Mine appear to resemble the Ceylons the most...still a great deal of variation between those and mine...but they are closer to the Ceylons ...

Thanks John and CS, I'll try...only been trying the digital as you said...the flash is really making them unhappy...stepping back farther doesn't do them justice... Hey, I'm a stubborn Norwegian...we don't give up that easy! :wink: I'll keep trying with more food as a bribe...lucky for you, John, yo...

Thanks John, I know...that's what makes this so difficult...as the one remaining in that shipment, had the eye spot... The puffs I have really have excellent color but not truly the definitive eye...that's why I'm confused... Mine look more like a GSP with the "M" type marking on top...but...

Hi All, I am in desperate need of helping to identify my new puffers... I have tried to take their picture with my digital cam and now they hate me! No luck so far...or trust me I would post their photos...Sorry not trying to tie your hands behind your backs..truly. They were sold to me as Figure 8'...

Gee whiz, Sorry to hear about the asthma...my hubby suffers from the same thing, better now after shot therapy (looked like torture to me) We refer to firewood supply and demand as "Chainsaw Sunday". Our home is one three levels...so my snail hatchery is in the daylight basement 25+ gallon...

RTR Perhaps I was just too inept at handling the Python. We had our kitchen remodeled last summer and being a designer I had to go for the delicate/fancy faucet. Really had trouble finding the right adapter...thus sending me down the hallway to the guest bath. My Golden Retriever, Lacey, thought I w...

CS... Thanks for filling me in on the 300 watt. submersible...How many tanks do you have, size etc.? At least your water coming from tap is 63*, ours is more like 45*. You don't think I'm doing it wrong then and just go for it by using the tap? I tried using a Python but it was a joke; 50 feet of tu...

O.K. I am still cracking up about Peregrin'e comment that you've ruined his "mystic experience" with his refractor...way too funny! Guess I'm going to have a hard time finding one from the late 1800's...Interesting to see how they developed over time. Trying to get one out of the Smithsoni...

Y-OUCH! That sounds terrible..I have never heard of a "point well" sounds interesting but probably not the healthiest way to go from the sound of things...glad you don't have that issue anymore...terrible to have such severe ear infections particularily on your honeymoon :( I love Maryland...

Again...most excellent imput! 8) Feeling very supported... As far as the well thing went...holding tank and well were replaced two years ago when we remodeled...not sure why but they placed it below ground level(duh) and in a concrete casing...so when we got six inches of rain in about 3 days it fil...

Thank you all for responding...your imput is so helpful and encouraging. Let me see if I can answer your questions... By the way Jeni...I want you to know that I read all of your articles before even getting started toward puffer care...and they are terrific! Everyone who's considering owning these ...

I really appreciated hearing back from the two of you...I feel better...it's hard watching someone dissect your pet while you watch and try to hold back the tears. Let's see...I did forget one thing...like a dork :oops: . I did have a problem with my well water. e. coli in well head due to heavy rai...

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on my problem... Fairly new to puffer keeping, not newbie to fish keeping. I have a 55 gallon tank for over a year, changed over to light brackish and planned for the arrival of my new babies. Even added bio-spira immediately with fishes just to be on the safe ...
