I'll start that treatment on my tank ASAP. Thanks everyone

He's gone....I don't know what it was but surely if he was being picked on I would have seen some signs of it in the 2 and a bit days I had him, there were no other marks on his body, these were the first puffers I'd actually picked out myself from the lfs and the first time I've lost a puffer. Bye ...

Thanks for replying so quick, I have just set up a qt tank and added melafix but don't have any primafix at the mo :( No, I didn't use any of the copper based ip treatment, waited for you guys to say yes or no. I don't understand why this came about so quick, I mean seeing some white poo this mornin...

Oh god, I don't think he's going to make it

I got 3 figure 8 puffers on Friday morning, they settled in really well and were eating. This morning I noticed 1 of them had white poo, so was going to treat for ip's, my lfs has given me the wrong meds so as its Sunday I'll have to wait till tomorrow. I went to feed them some snails earlier and no...

This is jungle fizzy tabs and they are the best ip meds.

Can't ship to my address unfortunately

I've just been to my lfs and they have given me a treatment for ip's, normally I'd trust what they say but as I was given aquarium salt for my soon to be brackish tank I thought I'd double check the ingredients with you guys. It's called eSHa HEXAMITA-Discus disease treatment(also for other cichlids...

Great lil F8's and I love the markings also. Btw, well atleast they wont be picky eaters..lol They are definitely not picky eaters lol, fed them some snails yesterday and wow!!! They were straight on them and munching. Funny thing was they lined up waiting for their snail to be placed in :D This mo...

I wonder if their colorations/markings will shift, because I can't tell my DPs apart! One moment, they look totally different. The next, the same. Then they switch! Gosh, they are so stinking CUTE! I'm planning on only going up to 1.005 as well, for the sake of the plants. How slow/fast are you goi...

Those poor puffers, appalling conditions. That's one of the saddest videos I've ever watched

My Lord! How cute are they?! Oh, Donna. Now I really want to get on that tank for a Figure 8 of my own! They are super cute lol, even when they're picking holes in my plants it's cute :smitten: when they first went in the tank I didn't think I'd be able to tell them apart but ones got war paint on ...

Phewww......

I've had a look at Ceylon puffers on YouTube and the markings seem to be different and the ceylons had spotty tummies unlike the figure eights white belly. Of course they are really small and I'm no expert lol
Anyone else think Ceylon?
