The Puffer Forum

Welcome! You mentioned incorporating puffers. Can you give us a run down of your tanks? What puffers have you accuired so far and what do you have them housed with?

One the tank with the ulvaceaous just a 2 bulb t5 fixture non high output. Even with this it grows very fast and blooms constantly. The blooming actually has a sweet fragrance to it. Im the only one who knows of course. If you ask someone to smell your fishtank they look at you like you have six hea...

I have heard from my LFS that you can use the garlic supplement to attempt to get fish accustomed to other foods. If he really only will eat pea start soaking the peas in the garlic supplement. After a few feedings, attempt soaking other puffer appropriate foods in this. Hope to hear this puff will ...

I don't know if anyone else has had different experiences but my DPs don't eat the shell but rather suck the snail out of the shell. For this specific reason if I get any MTS (Malaysia trumpet snails) ,that hitchhike into my tank on plants or my rare snail runs to chain pets stores, i drop them into...

The best plant I have ever purchased Aponogeton, Ulvaceus. I have one in my DP tank. They love to hide in the curls of the leaves, provides tons of hiding spots.

So aparently one of the rocks was not firmly on the bottom of the tank. My violet goby got underneath and almost brought the second archway down. Ive removed the rocks that were about to tumble. The new video is going to be delayed until I can take the goby and the gsp out, reseat this rock and expo...

Great shots! What size tanks are these in? I've been researching the fahaka's non stop but I fear I dont have enough room for one.

The two korlalia 450's seem to be doing the trick. I was able to put 90 on the end my my ehiem spary bar that the outlet dumps right over one the the poweheads. This also efectivley reduces the jets on the spray bar which were scaring the gsp. I also have the new rockwork 90% done I just need to gra...

Airstone in BW will make salt spray everywhere! In my 40 years in this hobby, I've never owned an airstone. Taking out the air stone now. One less airpump means a quieter bedroom for me. I am thinking about taking one of the 425's back tomorrow to upgrade to a 600. I can't really aim these 425's to...

So apparently I don't take someone saying I abuse my fish all that well. 200 dollars later Ive picked up another 20 pounds of base rock on-top of the other 10 I had waiting to go into the tank. I have setup two Hydor Koralia Nano 425gph powerheads in the tank. This little guy is still very skiddish ...

Didnt realize I shouldnt have an aerator in the tank. I have the backing trimmed and ready to apply. Im picking up two powerheads tonight.

The filter I have is rated for 250 gallons per hour. This is on a 29 gallon tank. Are there any recommended currents based on tank size? I'll be doing some more cave build ups tonight. I will try to post pictures when I'm done.

Its is brackish at the moment. Sg 1.010 slowly rasing it. From what ive read I start adding lr at 1.020 correct? I picked up about 20 more pounds of base rock and was going to do some more cave buildups with an adhesive putty. I could add a power head to this setup but as it stands now he gets skidd...

There is a dual cave build-up in the center of the tank. Its just aquascaping base rock but I think around 20-25 pounds. He sleeps in one of the caves and occasionally looks for food in the other but spends most of his time doing loops at that side of the tank regardless of the magfloat being there.

He does this for hours.
