Re: Fahaka puffer
I am very excited for you Jeeper
I hope you don't have to wait all day to get him, since it's within the same state - and hopefully (anyone who is on) can share your experience with you on chat! (if you can pull yourself away from the tank long enough for updates! there and hopefully in forum!)

Re: Fahaka puffer
All I have to do is get the mollies out of the tank, and try to fish out some more MTS's, my tank is completly overloaded with em.
Im about to go nuts waiting lol. there will be pics as soon as he is in the tank and settling down.
snails will be good for a first meal right?
Oh and what type of IP treatment do yall suggest?

Re: BLOAT IS HERE
Other than being a bit skinny (probably from IP's), he looks really good! Congratulations on getting Bloat (ed) !

Re: BLOAT IS HERE
Congratulations!!!!!!
You know he may just be skinny from not being feed a proper diet..or enough food..
Did you get in from the fishbowl guy I would like to know for sure if he is a good seller..

Re: BLOAT IS HERE
I sure did. Once he got back from vacation we got a deal knocked out in a heartbeat.
He is eating like crazy. So far ive watched him knock off 3 ghost shrimp and a snail. But he is still just as skinny

Re: BLOAT IS HERE
Well, at least he is eating...super good sign!!!!
But after a few days....ip med him up LOL
However, I bet that in two weeks..he will look like a totally different puffer
Please keep us updated!!!!
Good to know that guy is all right-even though you got a skinny puff there....some people just do not know what to do with puffers...
I have been think of getting a modestus from him..I am in North Carolina..so a trip from Florida would not be too bad..
