Re: Figure 8 puffer died mysteriously, can someone help me understand?

Sorry it took me so long to respond I was having trouble with my account.
2 weeks isn't long enough for the teeth to grow long unless they came that way.
What tank mates are in there?

Re: Need help resolving aggression from dwarf puffer/ getting them to eat frozen

You may just have a single bully on your hands and need to keep them separated. The tank should be densely planted to remove lines of sight. Do you know the ratio of male to female?

Re: Amazon puffers and black rings on skin

Those are puffer bites. Amazon puffers prefer to be in groups of 5 or more.

Re: GSP Sadly died looking for awnsers

Sorry it took me so long to get to this post! Having computer problems… if your tank is cycled you should be showing some nitrate. How exactly did you cycle the tank?

Re: New puffer! Hopefully an Abei!

He should be able to tear at an earthworm but I chop them up for my DPs.
Does he have a cave?

Re: Tank Advice while cycling

Your tank looks decorated well but this species is best kept as a singleton or in groups. Longer footprint is always best. How about Pea puffers instead?

Hey, great to see you here! I would try a live earthworm.

Re: New tank for GSP

Can you find out what specific gravity these fish are in at the store and ask them for some of their media to start your bacterial bed with?

Re: F8 desperately need help!

I assume there is no ammonia in there?
I'm not sure why you're using an anti fungal. I would be using Prazipro to treat internal parasites. Best treated internally by soaking their food, you could try adding garlic to enhance appetite.
