Re: whatcha eatin

Lmao @ Pufferpunk. I'd rather die happy than measuring fruits and veggies for a no meat diet. Pork, beef and chicken taste too good. I'm gonna eat them. Had coney dogs for dinner. Tony Paco's hot dog sauce rules. Throw in some baked fries and fresh sweet corn grown local. Mmmm.... J-P....fire the co...

Re: The Noah's Arch of fish tanks

PC you used the exact words I have used numerous times to leave comments on youtube. "Piss poor fishkeeping." Lol.

Re: Surfing the glass

This behavior DOES NOT automatically equate to boredom. Especially if it is new to its surroundings.

Re: sliders or wet burrito

Chick-Fil-A is awsome. We've only had one in our area about 8 months or so. Just got a two for one coupon on the paper today. Gonna have to pay them a visit soon. :D

Re: sliders or wet burrito

This thread does appear to be a drunken munchie ramble. Never been a drinker myself but I can say that there isnt enough alcohol on the planet to make anything from White Castle taste good. I've seen dogs walk away from that garbage. As for a wet burrito, never heard of one. Might be good though if ...

Re: Is my F8 Puffer pyscho?

Give him time to settle in. Expect odd behavior for a time. It just needs time to acclimate to its new home. Providing a complex environment is best but I wouldnt automatically equate pacing to boredom.

Re: going marine

Some of the corals are less specific than you think. As for a skimmer, I dont use one in my 10g (though some manufacturers are making small ones now). I highly recommend reading the articles on nano-reef.com.

Re: going marine

Not for argument sake but I have to disagree. My first salt tank, which I still have is a 10g. It has a tight fitting glass canopy and requires no top off between weekly water changes. Water parameters stay steady and to this point I have had no issues or problems. Its very low maintenance and its i...

Re: Porcupine puffer got stuck in filter

Lowes or Home Depot, look with the ceiling tiles. Its about $12 for a 2x4 foot piece of egg crate. Cut to fit and separate them.

Re: Dp with IPs

I've always fed my fish bloodworms. Never have I seen any of them pass undigested skins. I think you've got it figured correctly. Keep treating for ip's.

Re: frozen krill

Sally's frozen krill has been readily devoured by my puffs. Set it out to thaw a bit, pull off a suitable sized piece for feeding and drop in the tank. They still have the shell on and left overs are easily removed......if there are any. :D http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/ug.php?g2_view=core.Dow...

Re: Whats the best way to transport LR

Is it cured? If so, keep submerged in the water you get it from in a bucket or other suitable container. If it needs cured use a bucket or foam cooler or even a box lined with a plastic bag and cover it with newspaper or towels soaked in the water it came from.

Re: One more fish?

There are plenty of foods to feed that type of blenny if your tank isnt full of algae. Algae wafers as PP suggested, spirulina, emerald entree, romaine lettuce, dried seaweed sheets and the list goes on.
