Hello from Beijing
Posted: Sat Nov 04, 2017 10:00 pm
I am an American teacher in Beijing. I have bitten off more than I can chew with my two puffers....I cannot read Chinese and I am struggling to find water measuring kits. My hydrometer registers the same in my fresh water tank as my puffer tank.
I have two puffers in a 20 gal. One cannot dive- he is stuck on the surface.
I do weekly water changes with 1tsp marine salt per gallon. I am treating them with mystery meds that contain methyl blue. They feel better for a minute after I dose them.
I feed shrimp and snails.
Their fins were bad when I got them, got healthy and now are deteriorating.
Tyson is not eating...I hand fed him...he is stronger but now spitting out his favorite shrimp.
Instead of enjoying them I am worrying myself to death.
Appreciate some help,
Virginia
