Re: Fluval Chi for a DP?

One thing I've always wanted to do with a fluval chi is a mixed nano tank. Maybe something like banded panchax or celestial pearl danios. Could be a good little project to do it up as a planted nano with "nano fish"?

Vitamins for Puffers

I'd like to get some different vitamins to try for Mushroom. Only problem is, here in the UK there doesn't seem to be much available. Wondered if any of you lovely people in the US could tell me some brand names of what's available over there in the way of multivitamins so I can have a nosey and see...

Re: POTM May 2012 - send in your entries!

If I can enter two photos I'm happy to! I know you're not supposed to, but I can enter a photoshopped one as well as the non photoshopped one I've already entered so they're pretty different?

Just a thought to bump the piccies up!

Re: New Fahaka Owner - Advice Wanted

I use playsand in my puff's tanks with no issues. As long as you clean it first, and make sure its a good one that's got no bits in it you should be fine. You can always sieve it too just in case.

Re: Newbie

I reckon my secret's mostly luck I'm afraid! Mushroom was pretty healthy when I got him. Have a nosey here for the way I'm keeping him: http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=28434&st=0&sk=t&sd=a If you're thinking of getting one, do TONS of research first! There's n...

Re: Building new planted tank.

Just done the maths to double check, L X W X H is 70 x 35 x 60 = 147000, then 147000 / 1000 = 147. I make it 147L
Not sure how you're getting 127L? Unless I've done that wrong? Which is possible, maths isn't my strong point!!

Re: Naughty puffers!!!!!!

Was in a hurry to get out yesterday (dog had a vet appointment) so I plonked a cube of frozen bloodworm straight into the feeding cone in my fig 8s tank so it could defrost in the tank. Problem was, I missed. Nearly got bitten trying to grab it out before he managed to eat it whilst it was still fro...

Re: Planted Brackish

RTR, I respect your opinion, but I'm afraid I can't say I share it and I'd rather this didn't descend into argument! Can we agree to disagree on this one please? :) All I wanted to do for the puff was use some elements of the method. Namely, the soil substrate and the lighting. I was mainly concerne...
