The Puffer Forum

okay real quick question but first let me help you visualize the concern. If you got a fahaka or are very used to them you know they have these little fork thinks on top of their mouths, very tiny. Well mine has one dead smack center on its back. ive never noticed it before but its there, looks just...

Flow is good to.prevent any dead spots in the tank. The fish won't mind and might enjoy it. Flow is always a good thing

You're welcome I apologize for my spelling. I swear my phone misspells words on purpose

Mmmmm fish slime

Best advice I can give is to place the mussell upside down so it bites the shell to flip it. And crush thawed out snails a bit to expose the meat and motivate it to eat snail. You can do that with crawfish and just crus some so its sees its yummy goodness. If he us still hesitant to eat shelled meat...

thanks ill just freeze em for 48hrs.

I just went to the Asian grocery store and they had "mud" snails that looked like regular mystery snails covered in mud. I bought 1.7lbs for 5ish$ pretty sweet deal. Now, I have gone to Petsmart and bought snails for 2.99 each before and just feed it straight to my puffer. My question is, ...

I'm not sure what the correct sg is but if its lower than that yes, keep it at what its used to and slowly reduce once a week. Osmosis kills.

Welcome from Dallas.... Tell us about your set up

I say go for it if its somethin you want to do. Try not to feed your puffer cooked food at all. If you catch goodies, freeze em for 48hrs to kill the nasties like scpion said. They may have bad bacteria or disease from the sea. If you breed your own, live would be fine because you know where and wha...

I use it with every water change and I never have water issues. It takes care of all the impurities in any water and makes it fish fr...

Hello and welcome from Dallas!

Hey PP: "I bought the aquarium twenty days ago, I tested the well water and was normal, NO² and NO³ were really low... Could this be causing my problem, could there be some bacteria or living organism that the test don't reveal but is jumping my NO² and NO³???" Im not too familiar with thi...

yea theirs aquarium glue you can buy... you can make your rocks look like a sculpture, defying the laws of physics. And if I were you, I would start with a frag of a coral that's cheap... some puffs may be murderous little bastards that spare nothing.

usually water changes do the trick... question for you

have you replaced your filter media lately? what kind of filter do you have?

pick a water source and stick to it, just conclude for yourself which one is better and stay consistent.
