The Puffer Forum

So, I've been having a lot of puffer issues.

One of my SAP's died the other day, and I'm 95% sure it's because I couldn't trim her teeth in time and i think she starved.

How do I measure out my finquel? or what do I do?

I understand the trimming part itself, but I have NO idea as to how i measure out how much water/finquel I need.

As for my DP, I'm euthanizing her as we speak.

She was eating a bloodworm at the surface and got a HUGE mouthful of air. I tried burping here. Nothing. She just got more and more stressed. She would not have made it...

So, now she's in a container being peacefully put under in the freezer.


Ugh...

oh sad Sorry for your losses.
I don't know about Finquel...

Well the issue I'm having is, I have no idea how to measure out grams. I can pick up cuticle clippers, no prob (just spendy), I'm just not sure how to measure out liters and grams. ugh.

I use one of those tiny spoons that some in my Salifert test kit, added to 2 cups tank water.

I have trimmed a F8's teeth without sedative, just held him just firmly enough to keep him from getting away, and snipped. This is not ideal, but far better than the alternative when finquel is lacking.
