Re: Radio Interview!
I heard the first 80 minutes of your show this afternoon, and thought you did a nice job.
You sounded relaxed, professional, and informative.
Is the world ready for P. N.N. ? The Puffer News Network ?
Hope he has you back on sometime soon.

Re: Need advice on switching tanks
I never heard of the salt-soaking thing in 40 years. I don't get it. http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/homegarden/11310711.html Low budget vinyl tubing outgasses VOCs. PIck up a new roll of the ultra cheap junk, breathe deeply, and you'll pass out. Rock salt solution will kill the smell and the ...

Re: Need advice on switching tanks
Give Frank a close look over under good light to check for spots, patches, or anything that may require a medical attention. If he's even the slightest bit sick, the transfer may simply have been too stressful when factoring in the "new" water. There HAS to be a water difference between th...

Re: Rebuilding Dwarf Puffer Tank
I'd bet that a vintage Russian fighter pilot's full-pressure helmet would make an excellent home for a couple of D/Ps. Just mount the airtight lock collar base onto a 1/2" piece of thick plastic or glass and you'd be digging life. The actual O2 hoses could hide any filter lines. It would also n...

Re: Rebuilding Dwarf Puffer Tank
Great use for the old Zenith tube set, Welch4 ! It would be really cool to find a pedestal set - like this 1959 Philco Predicta, and have a tank cast in the in the picture-tube shape. http://stuckattheairport.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Philco-TV-333x500.jpg Image source: http://www.flysfo.com/mu...

Fahaka puffer is not always king of the tank - video - 2:50
Large Pleco is really working over this poor Fahaka.
It's obviously past time for these two fish to be moved apart.
Action starts at about the :56 second point.

Re: Does sound affect our wet friends happiness
I've wondered about this one myself. Having done a fair share of diving and fishing along beach and reef surf zones, I've noted wave impact areas do make loud underwater grinding noises non-stop. There never seems to be a shortage of fish living and feeding there. My guess is that if an aquarium fis...

Re: Transitioning a baby dwarf puffer's food
The trick on any new aquarium fish is to get it to start eating, period. Most small fish relish live brine shrimp for two reasons: 1. They're alive, and that spasmodic swimming motion triggers an automatic predator response. 2. They're bite sized. <slorp> I'd suggest live baby brine shrimp first. No...

Re: When Wild Puffers Attack - Ouch !
This is dated, but I'm amazed this puffer hasn't had this man's fingers for lunch.
It's amazing what some fish will endure to get fed.

Watch the cat go for the sub at the 1:07 point.
This guy is stressing his fish out.
I wonder if he's been bit ? I'd say yes.
