No. He was fully grown when I bought him. I came across him when I came to pick up my salivator. We got a connection there and then in the shop. It looked like he fell in love with me, and I absolutely fell in love with him. I've never seen anything like it with any of my other puffers. He was and ...

Strips are not reliable.
You need a liquid kit.

Leave him in freshwater for the time being.
Let the tank cycle.
Test daily!

Not more bloodworm than he can eat in 1-2 minutes.
Puffers beg...

Hi Everyone. I am in the same position as many people it seems like these days who have gone into a "big box store" looking for a pet fish and have come out with a GSP and the completely wrong information for caring for it. I'm sure you can guess the details, but I've been reviewing your ...

It could take some time.

Could be several reasons, not necessarily illness.
It might be a girl, producing eggs...

Had a couple over the years! #1. Cod-liver is nutritious food, and tasty too! Probably well suited as fish food... Dumped a substantial chunk into my 100 gallon Malawi biotope. NOT A GOOD IDEA!!! Fish went bananas and had a liver-party! But, cod-liver is extremely high in fat. Which dissolved into t...

Hi My friend has given us his 6month old gsp. it's our first morning with him - put him in the tank last night. I gave him a snail and he just sucked out the inside and left the shell. Aren't they meant to crunch on the snail shell?? I got 30 ramshorn snails and put them in my tropical tank in a br...

Corvus is (as always) right. :) My "personal" method of picking out M. abei in a crowd is: I have never seen any other "Target" who displays a cluster of reddish/orange spots around the target-spot. That is of course NOT to say that ALL abeis has aforementioned cluster. What do ...

Monos and Scats makes for poor tankmates when it comes to Puffers.

That sucks...
Such a beautiful Puffer...

hello puffers. I'm currenty cycling a brackish tank and have put in two Poecilia sphenops . so my question is, has anyone any experience with this fish in a tank together with puffers? in a week or two I'll get two Chelonodon patoca (Milkspotted puffer) back from their "asylum" at our goo...

Be happy for that fact...
I would consider teeth-trimming on a terrified Fahaka a kinda nightmarish extreme sport.

Keep up the good regime on feeding diverse and healthy foodstuffs to your fish.
