She's a little better, but still has some way to go. But she doesn't act like she is sick at all. Her appetite is very good (it has been all the time). She has been so hungry that I started testing her on new kinds of food. She takes everything very willingly, with no hesitation. And she has started...

Thank you for your ID. I am so lucky to have her. And I got her for free! I love her personality. Definitely my kind of puffer.

I just remember that I got a pic and a video that the dealer sent me of Ragnhild before I got her. So now I can ask for ID on her. She is supposed to be a cutcutia. What species is Ragnhild? https://cdn.youpic.com/huge/2103537_nb9h1jbojagl52pg112susecdl_901092.jpg Video: https://youtube.com/shorts/1...

The amount that is written on the packet. This is salt for fish tanks, for this kind of use. It has its own measuring spoon. There is nothing wrong with her appetite by the way. She just got her daily two earthworms. And even though the lights were on and she saw me, she attacked those earthworms at...

Ragnhild is supposed to be a cutcutia. But I will post a pic here for identification, if I ever get a pic of her. She hides all day, and only comes out when it's dark. But she has been through a lot of stress lately. She first moved from Sweden, and a few days later, she moved to me. Unfortunately s...

Yes, I've told him. But I can't complain, as I got the puffer for free. The problem with Methylene blue, is that very few pet shops sell it in Norway, and certainly none of the local ones. I've found one shop in the south of Norway, but it will take its time in the mail. So far I've medicated Ragnhi...

My new puffer has arrived, and it has fungus! It had fungus on arrival. And it's been years since I medicated a puffer, so all my knowledge is forgotten and gone. All my medication turns out to be out of date, several years ago! The local pet shop is tiny, and has very few medication to offer. I hav...

I must be the luckiest puffer owner right now. Tomorrow I get a new puffer, and I get it for free! :happydance: It's supposed to be t. cutcutia. I am very curious what species it turns out to be. I've seen pictures and a video of it, and it seems to be in very good shape. All though a little frighte...

Today I discovered a fish supplier I didn't know of, and he can get me a lot of different puffer species I wish for. I so can't afford this. :lol: He has already put aside a tetraodon cutcutia (for a VERY nice price). I didn't find it here in the Puffer Pedia, only one with a similar name cutcitica....

Every day, at around 2-3 pm, Harald comes to the front glass in his tank, waiting for dinner. He has gotten used to my daily schedule. He knows when food is near. And if dinner isn't ready (which it normally isn't - it has to thaw first), he looks at me with a very accusing look, trying to make me f...

Is Filbert still around?

I just have to share with some other puffer owners. Harald, my Baileyi is such a character. I've had him for almost two weeks now, and I am getting to know him better. He loves water changes! Not while I am doing them, but afterwards. Usually he hides a lot. But after water changes he comes out and ...

I've now had Harald for 1 1/2 week. The first few days, he was quite active. Then he went into hiding for a whole week. But yesterday he came out again. He showed me he is a river puffer, because he definitely liked the current from the filter. He isn't afraid of me at all, so I could take some pics...

1 1/2 weeks ago I got a hairy puffer, and of course I had to name him because of his hairyness. I named him Harald Hårfagre (translated: Harald Fair Hair). Harald Hårfagre was Norway's first king. He said he wouldn't cut his hair before he had made all of Norway into one kingdome, and so he did. My ...

Hi all! It's been some years now, but finally I'm back. That Norwegian who had a lot of puffers. The last 3 or 4 years I've been totally without puffers, and I've missed it! I've been living in two places VERY far appart, because my dad needed a lot of help. But he passed away in September, so now I...
