Sorry you lost your peas
Glad everyone else is doing well! Thanks for the update

Hey I hear you on swapping out algae! The only thing I've found that worked for me is to check phosphates and nitrates, make sure they are at the acceptable levels, but also make sure your calcium and alkalinity is also at the right levels. That way the coraline algae will be able to establish itsel...

I'm not really up to par on salt water diseases, but the only thing that seems off is the use of algaefix, I know that puffers are sensitive, I don't know the chemical makeup of algaefix, but I've heard people say it's not invert safe, so may not be puffer safe. However, I doubt that is why your puf...

I would be nervous with an animal with sharp teeth in my lap, but that person has nothing to worry about since they obviously have cahones of steel.

I remember when you were raising your SG, didn't you also have some issues with nitrites, or something to that effect? Ok, my first question, and I don't remember if I asked you this previously, but what test kit are you using? Are you using tap water as for your water changes? If so, double check t...

12345, how is your puffer doing?

Anybody mind telling me what water test kit is good to get? I see tons, but I am not sure if they are different, the same, better or worse. So many choices out there. I had a tetra laborette kit about some 8-9 odd years ago, and I found the results, at least then, consistent. I have no way to verif...

I looked it up, I thought the same thing too about offering a rare fish to the hobby world, and this fish is listed Least Concern, as it's IUCN Red List Status . I think it's just a difficult fish to catch. Am I the only one that thinks that fish just really isn't awesome looking enough to be 5K? Do...

Sounds great, don't forget to post pics when you can

Your avatar is just slightly hilarious.

LOL!

I felt like my mouth was trying to make a Q shape.

Lmao! XD Yeah maybe I should stop using "1234"

I see where the confusion may have been; freshwater ich is Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, but that fungal organ disease is Ichthyophonus hoferi, the names look similar.
