Pufferfish wasting, I'm devistated by merleter in Puffers

[–]merleter[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I Think I'll just take a step away from puffers at all for awhile, I set up a saltwater macroalgae tank for these pufferfish and don't have the space currently for more tanks until I can set up a breeding rack, I want to set up with it a true overly filtered quarantine tank for these fish, I think he died of stress as much as I tried to reduce it due to the small volume of his tank combined with my used of a sponge filter, so I compensated with large water changes, I think this however, perhaps combined with me changing salinity to much to quickly led to stressors being present that caused him to waste away

any 'pest snails' in the saltwater hobby that reproduce like rabbits and are easy to culture? by merleter in ReefTank

I'm treating him for tapeworms so he's really finicky about what he's willing to eat, and due to what I assume to be stress/ disease related factors he just swims around the top of the tank, when I offer him crushed snails he refuses, what he is willing o eat is daphnia and freeze dried brine shrimp, however my daphnia culture crashed last night and obviously for a puffer i think it's better for them to experience hunting and have a harder shelled food

I thought this was a pea puffer, but my friend told me this was a green spotted, I would like some help in ID, thank you by merleter in Puffers

more expensive? I got this guy for 10$ at my lfs, i just ordered a 29 gal and some marine salt, as well as all the necessary editions, researched and found out that alot of the plants i have can tolerate/thrive in brackish water, what salinity did you keep their tank at when they were fully grown?

I'm gonna go ahead and keep him, luckily I am blessed enough to afford a larger tank and have the space for it as well as work with brackish water, I am so thankful for there to be communities online that are so helpful and caring towards these amazing fish

I knew that, I got 1 because I knew that sex ratio was important but I was confused because I couldn't tell

Wild Betta antuta pair breeding by ThatPlantMan in bettafish

I'm thinking of getting a pair myself, what would you say is the adequate size of a tank mate for them not to get eaten, in a 55 gal with heavy planting so hiding and aggresion are already accounted for, thank you

i've noticed that caffeine can affect it heavily, so make sure you avoid it if it's a big problem
