The Puffer Forum

My smaller puffers, up to 4-5" don't seem to bother my plants, with the occasional cut in a crypt leaf. My young fahaka (which is growing fast) tears up crypt leafs but larger leaved plants like Anubias & Nymphea he leaves alone. I recommend Anubias glued or bound on rock or driftwood (what...

Keeping ramshorns in a separate, 8 gallon tank myself, filtration by a sponge filter. I only keep a piece of driftwood in it and a piece of cutle bone on which they really like to graze. I also keep some ramshorns in other tanks with smaller fish to have a constant flow of snails. I don't notice the...

Mine don't like it. I turned my external filter at low capacity.
The do like aeration in the aquarium.
Good luck with your baby.

I understand you dreamed about these guys. I did too when I first saw them on the wholesale list again. Only being able to get one at first was a bummer.

I have 1 (all I could get) from the first import that was sub-adult, now fully grown. Last week I finall...

In my collection I have: - Carinotetraodon travancorius (Dwarf) - Tetraodon lineatus (Fahaka) - Tetraodon schoutedeni (Spotted Congo or leopard puffer) I've been looking around the forum but can't find any safe products that are available in Europe.
