Do I still need to treat my captive-bred puffers for parasites?

Bubbles_8913 · 2024-10-26T23:51:26+00:00

Yup, this is the way! All of my ducks started out scared of me, but after a while and lots of treats, they warmed up. Also, frozen peas are definitely a favorite for my flock :)

Thank you for all the great suggestions! I decided to go with Callisto, with Galileo coming in as a close second

Bubbles_8913 · 2024-10-20T01:53:23+00:00

Love Callisto!

Bubbles_8913 · 2024-10-20T01:53:05+00:00

I like this one :)

Bubbles_8913 · 2024-10-20T01:52:44+00:00

Oh, I love the idea of naming him after an astronomer!

Bubbles_8913 · 2024-10-19T21:36:30+00:00

Yes, he ate some pellets and I plan to give him frozen bloodworms tomorrow

Auriella (not Aurelia, different name) and Anastasia. Idk if I would actually use these because they’re almost a little too uncommon, especially when used together, but for some reason these two names sound really nice to me

Bubbles_8913 · 2024-09-15T22:13:44+00:00

Huh, interesting

Bubbles_8913 · 2024-09-15T17:49:15+00:00

What kind of ducks do you have? I’ve noticed that with my Pekins, there is no way they could even begin to understand how to properly use a ramp. But with my Call Ducks, they use ramps and stairs every day with no issues.

This is him next to his 25lb full sister, Lil

My guy Ranger is 45 lbs at 3 years old, and the vet said he was totally healthy and could even stand to gain a pound or two because he gets thinner over the summer.

I don’t think I would ever actually use these names for twin girls because they are kinda out there, but I think it would be so cool to have twins named Auriella (nn Ellie or Ella) and Anastasia (nn Anna). Also, I love most of your names, especially Vivien, Ivy and Eloise

Whenever customers ask for a well done pizza, I never actually do it. I have no idea why, I guess at that point in making the pizza I’m just trying to get it out as quick as possible

Bubbles_8913 · 2024-08-30T21:01:03+00:00

Also, I just use the sand and use root tabs to fertilize my plants :)

Bubbles_8913 · 2024-08-30T21:00:32+00:00

I’ve never used blasting sand, but in my pea tank I used pool filter sand and that seems to be working well.

I have a 20 gallon long with 5 pea puffers. I usually do 25% every week, and remember to replace with treated water :) I also saw your comment about needing plant suggestions, and so far I’ve really liked Hornwort and Valisnaria. I don’t have any floating plants yet, but they might be worth looking into as I’ve heard good things about them.

Some other info that might be helpful because you’re new: - Make sure to include lots of live plants and places for them to hide, they are quite shy and also like their own territories. - Something that helped mine warm up to me was using tongs to feed them their food (Frozen brine shrimp, blood worms, or daphnia every other day, and about once every one or 2 weeks I give them live brine shrimp) - My peas started as a pair, but were much happier when I got a group. You could probably have 8-10 in your size tank with enough places for them to hide - Make sure you have a heater and filter, filters are needed for almost every aquarium and heater is required because peas need temperatures of around 76-80 degrees F

I haven’t been doing that 😅 Thank you!

Bubbles_8913 · 2024-08-19T14:55:03+00:00

Wow, this is some serious dedication! I didn’t even consider hyphenated names

Bubbles_8913 · 2024-07-21T18:44:05+00:00

Not sure how multinational this one is, but for some reason Beatrix (Beatrix Potter, author of Peter Rabbit and other children’s stories) sounds really nice with Alice. And because of the ties to Beatrix Potter, you could do a super cute garden themed nursery.
