The Puffer Forum

I’m not 100% sure, but it looks like the swamp crayfish is male and the cobalt is female. Just for safety I ended up moving the swamp crayfish into my SA/CA Cichlid tank (to avoid a dead crayfish or a hundred babies). They haven’t eaten him yet, hopefully they won’t (they’re all still juveniles).

Hi, I’ve run into a problem with my crayfish. I’ve had this cobalt blue lobster for quite some time, and decided today to purchase a red swamp crayfish. I knew that they could potentially fight, but they are being kept in a 60g tank with plenty of caves, rocks, and hiding spots. However, when the ne...

Glad to hear your puffer is doing better!!

I was feeding my lizards crickets when my green anole, Randall, jumped onto my completely careless and oblivious giant day gecko, Oz. He looked like a little Yoda!! :lol: FD3CCDAD-8ED4-4640-97C0-44B7C33F7193.jpeg 43F9ED2A-FE70-4CC5-8049-57799BF61C21.jpeg A0420D5E-69F1-4F4B-8D25-621445B1C1B4.jpeg “Mm...

I’m not too sure yet. I don’t have space for a bigger tank, but I do have a 60 gallon semi-aggressive tank that I can move the severum into if space becomes an issue.

Update: everything’s doing great! The terror is now swimming around normally, and his eye socket has filled out with flesh. The melafix treatment is working. As far as overstocking goes, I knew it could be a problem before I put in the severum and parrot, but made sure to get females (seeings they g...

Oh, ok. Wasn’t sure if it had particular dimensions.
I’ll look further into what I can get for the frog. What I was looking at was 30 x 12 x 12, which came with everything required, but if that’s too crammed for the frog then I’ll look at something else. Thanks!

Also, what were the dimensions?

I tried to soak it in the bloodworms, which then spread into the tank water because I used too much.

I definitely will look further into the tank size. How many frogs did you have? The kit has a certificate for 1 free frog, but I might get another just for company. Did you keep the frog with anything else?

Is it possible you could post pictures? If it’s internal parasites, he will start to become thinner. Pay attention to his poop. If it is white or clear, that’s a good sign of IPs. Multiple treatments work, one for ich being the salt method, and for IPs being either certain medications or garlic juic...

I had a SAP with very similar problems.
Is his belly fully grey in color, or are they grey patches? If it’s patches, then that and the not eating could be stress. Seeings you just moved him, the not eating can be completely normal for any fish, since he has to get used to his surroundings.

Thanks! I have also read about their jumping, which is actually the only reason I haven’t bought the particular tank yet. As far as the glass goes, which I’ve read could be problematic, would a terrarium background work out? I am a beginner to frog keeping (besides ADFs and ACFs), and do want to mak...

When I was at the LFS a few months ago I bought two kribs. I found out later on that they were a male and female! Here’s pictures of the little ones! When they were just fry a couple months ago... 3BEC708C-334F-47E2-B125-21105CD6683C.jpeg And now... 5014F8DE-8AEF-48D0-AEC3-57C6B1E939B1.jpeg 14329B21...

Tadpole KIT ! There’s no misunderstanding or confusion on my end. Sorry if I wasn’t clear enough. A tadpole kit gives you a certificate to order a tadpole, which you’d grow. Did you think that the tadpole just came with the kit, waiting in the sealed box to be bought? Now, to avoid any other confusi...
