My F8 Puffer, Does He Look Well To You Experts?

Post by carlos »

In his new home currently in fresh water to match LFS but going to gradually creep to brackish as you probably seen in my other post, hes currently sharing with some tiger barbs (15) that have been used to cycle the tank for 5 weeks or so, he doesnt mind them just yet, but they will be moving soon.

Does he look healthy? I thought so but you lot have more experience. Sorry about photo quality the camera makes him look alot paler than he is.

He looks healthy - fat and sleek, with nice colors. :)

I went to a shop about a month ago, and they had probably 75 of those little guys in a tank about the same size as the LFS you are talking about Carlos. They were so crowded, with nothing else in the tank but them, no plants, ornaments, nothing ..... and because of this, they were very aggressive and all of them had bite marks on their bodies. We stood there watching them attacking each other and we got so disgusted that my husband went and got the manager and told her about what we were seeing and she came back with one puny little plastic plant -- but at least it was something. :?

It's all about the money I'm afraid. :(

Rarely somebody does, and if someone does, does it with lack of information.

It's a de-stresser. I add it for the first couple of days after I add a new fish.

Melafix is a must! I made my own melafix with tea tree oil and it's working properly too.

I've heard that works well. Is it easy?

Funny, all this talk of Melafix .... I just received a bottle of Melafix and Pimafix today! I have never used it before, but I hear everyone talking about it like it's really fantastic, so I'm looking forward to using it.

Melafix is the Elixir of Aquatic Life.
