The Puffer Forum

Under the diet heading for figure eight puffers it says, "feed a varied died..." instead of feed a varied diet.

The error still hasn't been fixed.

Thanks, it has now.

Thank god. Now I can stop killing those snails.

And what?

it does the same thing on the GSP page...

"Requires medium to high-end brackish water, and usually thrives in marine conditions. Introduce to a fully cycled aquarium, and raise the specific gravity by at least 0.002 per week, aiming for 1.015. As GSP's are active and agressive puffers, allow at l"

at least...?

That is because the field will only allow so much text. i am not sure whether the box can be extended to accommodate all the text or not.

do you know what it's suposed to say?

I believe it's "10 gallon for each additional Figure 8."

Perhaps in the feeding section Krill should be listed as something to be fed sparingly since it is known to cause lockjaw.

It's only ASSUMED and suspected to cause lockjaw. There's no actual proof that it is the cause. A better phrasing would be that feeding Krill has been correlated/associated with lockjaw, because that's the most we know so far.

Ah...Perhaps I misunderstood that the study on Krill & Puffer fish has proven a diet of only or mainly Krill can cause lockjaw...

PQ is researching it, and I'm pretty sure she thinks she came up with a reason for it.

Gosh, I wish she'd tell us already!
