The Puffer Forum

Ah cool thanks. I bought HS Aqua Vivocell. Guess thats almost the same? Ill throw them mussels straight in the freezer then

Hey guys, Not sure if its in the right topic but i cant find it anywhere. I bought a 2kg package of mussels in shell at the store. Now what is the best way to keep them oke for the puffer? Do you boil them all first and then freeze it and take one out when you need one or do you just freeze the pack...

No probs

That site doesnt work in the NL. Tells me to buy a domain for 1900 dollar or something. But its gonna be the Tetraodon Cochinchinensis. Theres only like 3 or 4 FW available here maybe i should step over to brackish.

Yea that machine wasnt an option since the tank is in the living room nowhere near a connection for it. Instead i still got the filter. The Eheim Experience 350 with added Dennerle AmmoniumStop Supra. And Dennerle nitrate stop. Update: pretty pissed off..it can take weeks before they have the puffer...

Yea im getting an eheim external filter and an osmosis machine this afternoon! Yea im taking it serious lol.

Yea thats what I said. Almost transparant. Tiny bit in it aparently but thats the values i just said. The same for both tap and the tank water. Maybe i should do a few more water changes?

Well I just tested my tap water and its a really really light green/yellowish color. Same as with the tank. I just tested that too and thats a really really light green/yellowish color too. Thats the NH4. The NO2 now is a almost transparant. Both meaning NH4: <0,05 and NO2: <0,01. I dont think I can...

True true :) I"ll have a look for the vitamins then! Seeing as most of it will be frozen shrimps and bloodworms, I guess the vitamins in those arent too great. So ill definitly get that. Earthworms and crickets are definitly on the list then. Now im not sure if should just change the snail bree...

Yea the vitamins I read about. Ill have a look at that. Any tip on what brand of it is good for a puffer or just any fish vitamin product? If he is gonna ignore the snails ill get rid of the pond snails and breed shrimps in it instead. About the meds I have to agree. I dont like giving anything meds...

Ah that would make treating it alot easier. Im based in the NL so ill have to ask the supplier what brand and name of meds they use here. But i guess the ingredients would be the same as the UK/USA meds. I am planning on feeding him a lot of different things: - Shrimps: Depending on the size of the ...

Hey peeps, Ive been reading up on deworming etc when you get a new puffer. Now normally youd have to put it in a quarantine tank. But do you have to do that with a Congo Puffer too? I mean its gonna be alone in the 47 gallon tank anyway. So no other fish would be involved or affected. Would i still ...

^^ Yea I get the reactions =/ I was a bit upset that I might have had to leave them in there but its all good! I rearranged the tank too. Gonna make some pics when I get the piece of driftwood for in the middle and wait for Lurky (yea I thought that was a very cool name xD).

Yay, I put my Corys up on the web and half an hour later someone is interested. So they are gonna get a new home and not inside a stomach.

Theres no deco in it. Its sand with Lucense, Echinodorus and Valisneria.I took out the deco in it like spiderwood and a cave already. Thats why i didnt want to take all the plants out cause they have been rooting for months to get sturdy in the sand. But ill try it again.
