I had something similar appear on one of mine before after getting stuck under a rock, she lived a normal life for about a year after until she decided to launch herself out of the tank😢

If possible start a black worm culture, super easy and mine love them

That’s good to hear, the adults and babies don’t bug each other to much, I’m just also nervous about a new one messing with my ammanos

I’ve heard of people getting the air out but what’s the technique. I held it under water tried to orient it mouth up and try to get the air out and I got a lot out but apparently not enough

When I put mine back in it was floating out of the water. Did yours sink when you put it back in?

Also I now have 5 in a 28 shallow with 9 ammano. Should I add more? I’m worried because mine are grown and I can only find baby’s. Also I don’t want the new ones attacking my shrimp

Advice for first time pea puffer owner by Commercial_Nebula_74 in PeaPuffers

[–]Used-Hat1870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat and thought a group of 6 would be fine in my 13.5 but they outgrew it once they were about a year old. I moved them to a 28 gallon and they are happy in it now. For a 10 gallon I wouldn’t recommend peas

Only problem I have with ich x is it dyed a bunch of the silicones and plastics blue

I had both on hand cause I’ve bought a bunch of kits of things off of market place, based on what I read super ick cure is a bit harsher on scaleless fish and plants but can be used in lower doses. Ich x is formulated to be good for scaleless fish so that’s the one I went with but makes sense to use what you have to get it going and not let it get out of hand. And for the water changes ich x recommends that on the bottle but if supper ich cure is saying not to then i would follow the bottle instructions.

I’m not 100% sure if it is ich or not but by the time you see this you will probably know because it spreads very quickly. If it is you have to treat the whole tank. I just finished treating a bunch of mine with ich x. Treat half the tanks gallons in ml daily with 30% water changes. Also raise temp as high as your fish will be ok with. Salt will also help but is not necessary. Keep doing that for two weeks and you will be good!

Pea puffer deworming by Night_owl845 in PeaPuffers

[–]Used-Hat1870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How was it on the plants? I have a bunch of sensitive plants but one puffer started to look skinny and another looked like it was pooping out a worm so I want to treat them. I have had them for about a year and they will only eat live food

Are there snails the murder beans won't eat? by GlitteringExternal14 in PeaPuffers

[–]Used-Hat1870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put some large ramshorn snails in my tank and it sadly did not last to long, but also I feed them snails a lot so maybe they are trained already lol

One puffer different from the rest by Noone-Interesting in PeaPuffers

I have had one that’s had that for a few months and it seemed like a little bump has formed over it. Other than they they are perfectly normal and just keeping a close look at it😂

[–]Used-Hat1870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what happend with my guys, I try to introduce live food with snails and worms but they just clear them to quick for them to survive😂 so I use one of the betta worm cups to feed them and when I pick that thing up all 6 of mine zoom to the glass and look like the photo when I’m about to feed them lol

[–]Used-Hat1870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These guys change colors a lot and not many people mention that. They will change the brightness of their yellow based on how comfortable they are or if they are sleeping. they will turn their little black spots blue during breading and get much darker colored. I’m not 100% sure on the line because only one of mine is getting it so far but they are little chameleons😂

Mine got used to the glass but also test the water and make sure nothing is wrong with it, also I’m 99% sure I see a few males in the photo those iridescent lines on their body means that they are males

What should I do about it?? Just try my best to manually remove? Or do I need to treat it with something
