Re: help with stressed porc

sorry, i missed that. and i agree that you need to look into upgrading asap. puffers are large, waste making machines that need a system that can support their bioload. and, to add to what pp said, i think i've only ever seen one porc out and about in the middle of the day. other than than, i have t...

Re: Mixing Toby and Blue spot puffers.....yes or no?

nemotodes are a type of internal parasite

i don't actually know what the "black fin disease" really is. some of the wild puffers have black somewhat shriveled fins or black splotches on their body. it's obviously not a good sign and i've never bothered to look up what its called.

Re: Mixing Toby and Blue spot puffers.....yes or no?

hawaiian spotted toby puffers don't pair perfectly. the male's territory encompases about 4 or 5 female's territories, each of which is a couple square yards.

ugh, i know! they either have the nemotodes or that black fin disease.
