The Puffer Forum

I do 3X a week because It has worked for me and you can do what ever you want but diluting my water make my puffer very happy!

I'm sure your puffer is happy but certainly not necessary, for a happy puffer.

Can't imagine that being so awesome for plants either, the additional supplements would be $$$

A lot of things we do are not necessary but beneficial to us and our pets. Many people do large water changes not just discus breeders!

I have 2 planted tank for 10 years.

I think you should start posting pics of your tanks!

I have, check my post and you have seen the video, I think! But I will load them all in few min.

I had to water change the T. mbu 3x weekly as well.

Minor correction: Many breeders change over 100% daily.

This is my discus planted tank: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tMoZmYAf04 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rildCjrTxk0
This is my Yellow perch planted tank: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pULK2sUBdLs and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CIxvlESHzw

I tried to introduce my fahaka into the Yellow Perch tank, but he was almost eaten so he is in the 120gal. Enjoy everyone

1+ RTR!

what i did was i added a product called safe start from tetra and the dechlorinater and two red tailed sharks and i was told after the cloudyness dissapeared i would be ok so that is when i added him that was about three days after.... the person who told me this has a fahaka and he said this is how he started his tank...if i messes up i would appreciate some dirrection i am getting my water tested tonight and what would be some signs of him being unhealthy??? he eats ALOT!!! and he is fairly active unless he just ate.... is there anything on his skin i should look for that would be bad?? thanks for the help guys!

That might do... Did you remove the sharks?

no they are still in there they are tiny though and surprisingly they are still alive ha ha

Then the bioload isn't being handled at all by the bacteria you created by the sharks. Never mind, their lives are at risk of being pufferfood.
