The Puffer Forum

I was wondering if Amazon pea puffers and angelfish could get a long together in 55g aquarium, its heavily planted with and has lots of driftwood and hiding places. I mainly want to use the the puffers as snail maintenance and they could later be moved to their own 40g. I'm not worried about bioloa...

"Social Engineering"?

Too much light and/or high potassium levels.
What do you mean by "the plants are peeling"?

Clewliss, do you remember this......................? yes.. they will 100% harass the snail until it dies and they will eat it, they'd probably also do the same to any other fish species. Puffers don't play well with others. please, please, please do not experiment with living things you asked for g...

I moved all my fish (including Dwarf Puffers) in new Home Depot buckets with lids, air stones, air pump, and auto inverter to run the pump.
It was about a 10 hour drive.
The temperature remained stable with the car's heater/AC system.

Thawed or cooked shrimp? Shell on or off? I have shell on cooked frozen shrimp, but was unsure if I should have picked raw instead. My substrate is black 80% and white 20% but he likes a creamy tan color as far as I can see. raw food only - no cooked food! is your black substrate smooth-grained? ho...

..........understandably you are upset and frustrated about the condition of your puffer, but this ^ is not the way to ask for help

tank is overcrowded as it is

Epsom salt wouldn't do any harm, not sure on the methylene blue.
Do you have a quarantine tank to treat him in?

sadly, this is often the end result of "rescue fish" (and cats, dogs, ferrets, sometimes even humans..................)
their health and long-term wellness are severely compromised by what they were subject to prior to getting a home
I hope your luck is better than this

I know tank mates for it, because with the 2 I had before, the tank mates were a Discus, fire eel, dragon puffer, leaf fish, datnoid, common pleco, albino bichir, archer fish, and an silver arrowana. I just don't know why the previous have died, nothing was wrong with the parameters in my tank, but...

Agreed!

why do you ask?
are you thinking about tankmates for it?

does he have sufficient small grained gravel or sand to burrow in?
got a picture of his tank?
I don't think a laser pointer is a healthy idea.

............oh, so we're inactive and aloof are we? and of course, it's because puffers are very niche. Dang! Someone took afence. Tbf @PuffTheMagicDragon has a point, this site is pretty dead, you can't honestly say that this site is buzzing with new threads and replys. That's why I stopped visiti...
