The Puffer Forum

So I bought the 50lb bag of turface mvp for $10. Going to seitch tomorrow. Heres my plan. Advice greatly appreciated!!! 1) Remove decorations to 10 gallon tank. 2) Remove 3 pea puffers and 3 otos to 10 gallon tank. 3) scoop out gravel and dead/dying plants 4) remove 50% water 5) turn off filter - pu...

Thanks for the advice. Im still unsure of plant species yet. Definetly wisteria, a few crypts, some anubia, and ludwiga

And thanks lightsout.. Hopefully I can unvest in a canister by the end of the year so if something happens to my AC50 Ill have one for a backup

PP I really like the live plants and so do my otos lol. This is my last resort before I go silk. Pollypuff, I have several different types that are going to be pulled out shortly. After talking with someone on a facebook aquarium plants group, we think my problem is the fertilizers Im using. Ill be ...

So I have a 20 gallon setup as below. I have 2 female 1 male dwarf puffers, and 3 otos. I am trying to grow plants to help alleviate some chasing (have had them about 3 weeks, accidentally killed one a rehomed another - had 5 at 1 point). Well the plants arent going well. Ive considered switching my...

Yeah.. Ive had the puffers for a week now.. still trying to figure out how to feed properly. 2 of the puffers (the 2 I posted about) eat the bloodworms so fast and will take them away from the others so they get very round bellies.

Help!! I have 4 pea puffers. They only eat bloodworms. Today, 2 of the small ones look like they have bloodworms coming out of them. Like instead of the black poop.. it looks like bloodworms???

If it were me with a 55 gallon tank wanting puffers. Id get between 3 and 5 south american puffers. Not sure what would be an accurate number in that tank size (hopefully PP will help here again). But make sure to feed them lots of snails or crunchy foods to keep their teeth trim or youll be trimmin...

Pufferpunk, does the modestus stay oretty active? And theyre basically just a solid gold color right? No pattern to them?

Maybe Im just unlucky. But I have it on the low flow and its pushing current down to the bottom of the tank. I cant put plants anywhere in front of the filter as it just pushes them out.

Hey guys, Im posting yet again (sorry). So as suggested by the awesome people on this forum, I had invested in an aquaclear filter. I wanted to over filter as I was told pea puffers (or puffers in general) need over filtration. Now that I have the 20 gallon tank up and running and Im still cycling i...

I thought they had to be in a 20 gallon? Are they extremely nocturnal?

Where would I buy almond leaves, and how do I know when they need changed? Just put them in the filter? I did decide Im going to try to cut 50/50 tap and RO once the tank is cycled and then see how my numbers are. I already bought the seachem products which stinks.. but would be a lot cheaper to cut...

Is it really a nessecity for SAPs to be in groups?

Thats what the equillibrium is for. Ia that not sufficient??
