puffer

I have a 36 gallon reef. I’ve been really busy and I’m not home for most of the summer so my family has been taking care of my tank. I’ve already had 2 coral die since they’ve been taking care of it. I’ve been considering converting my tank into a predator tank. In terms of fish atm I have 2...

Hey all - I’m in the research phase of my next tank / upgrade. Has anyone here ever housed a Wart-skin angler with a dog faced puffer (or similar)? I’m wondering how these 2 might do with each other. Of course every fish is an individual and all tank cohabitations have risks; I’m just wondering...

I got a sweet lil Blue Dot toby/orangetail fiji puffer a while back and he has shown to be quite a picky eater. Doesn't go for pellets or wafers as expected. I purchased a variety of foods from the super market(clams, shrimp, and scallop). He ignored the clam and scallop, but loves the shrimp...

Just wanted to post a video of the 3rd night of training my pufferfish to do the "spit water" trick! He actually got it on the 1st night after spitting water into a bucket and pretending to eat a shrimp in front of him for just 10 minutes. Can't believe it only took that long! If anyone has...

Hey everyone I have a question can you mix cupramine and Ich x together? Or in small amounts different times? I’m really trying to get rid of Ick my poor puffer has it bad. I have him in a quarantine tank with the other fish. It’s a 20 gallon tank. I know puffers are sensitive to copper so I’m...

Hi! I’ve been thinking about future stocking for my biocube 32, and have considered the valentini puffer, they seem really neat but I am wondering if there are any cleanup crew they won’t eat. I’ve heard they defiantly would eat shrimp, but what about bigger snails? Or serpent starts or...

I have an otherwise healthy puffer that's about 5 inches long that just started showing these spots on his back today. He was perfectly fine yesterday and was eating with his normal huge appetite. Water parameters are normal and all his tank mates are not showing any signs of disease. He's been...

Super new to the hobby. My narrow-lined puffer has what looks like a sore on his mouth. I tried my best to get a photo of it. I have a 125g FOWLR my tank cycled for two months with only live rock and live sand. End of month 2 I added a pair of clowns. Four month I added zebra eel (2 feet long)...

I will post photos, updates, and progress as the tank evolves. Here is an overview of the tank as it is now. *May 2020* Our goal is to have a colorful, lively, symbiotic ecosystem. We have stayed towards more peaceful fish species and they all get along so far. So we've had our tank since...

So, I did something foolish and my poor puffer had to pay for it. I was performing a tank transfer(no discussion about TTM, please) with my Valentini puffer and a few other fish. I bought a second Penguin 200 as a filter, but it was missing a piece on the intake, so I couldn't attach the...

I have a dog face puffer and was told he would steer clear of anemones. Well, he got stung. Yesterday he was twitching and jerking like something was trying to get him. Today he’s hiding under the driftwood and sulking. Is he recovering from the sting? Does anyone have any info on anemones...

Hi everyone, hope you’re all doing well. I have a question if been meaning to ask for a while, I’ve been wondering how you guys may offset this issue. How do you keep your reef clean if you have for example a puffer fish that loves eating your clean up crew? Is there a way you can maintain a...

Good Afternoon! We bought home our Porcupine Puffer called Boblee just over a week ago, he seems pretty happy, eating great since the day we bought him home. He is currently in the tank on his own, its a 5 foot 500 ltr tank. He is constantly rubbing up and down one side of the glass, he does...

I have a blue spotted puffer approx. 2 inches long. For almost a week he will not eat and has been extremely lethargic and having trouble swimming, he will find a spot and stay. I had a valentini puffer before that showed these signs after pufffing up from being spooked and it died the next day...

i have to write this fast So had the pp 4 weeks now no problem ...... He eats fresh tiger prawns chunks daily healthy happy . 3 days ago I saw 3 white spots on each of his eyes and thought it’s just white spot because my powder brown got it again and has it . And I was already in the process of...

So, I have recently lost more than half of my fish and thinking of selling all of the other fish I have and switching to a predatory tank... Any suggestions? It is a 55-gallon tank with two corals but not really expecting to keep those either! I already know I want a fuzzy dwarf lionfish and...

Recently I went to a lfs and saw one of the cutest fish ever, the cubicus boxfish. I am fully aware that they can grow up to around 10” in captivity, but this info is different depending on who you talk to. Also I know that they are recommended for experienced aquarists only due to the toxic...

Here I am kicking myself for not investing the time to quarantine my Leopard puffer (Canthigaster leoparda). Lesson learned. I've had him in the tank for about 2 months now, eats like a pig (mysis soaked in Selcon, PE pellets, and Hikari pellets). He is still very active, constantly picking at...

I am struggling trying to provide a varied diet for my valentini puffer. He doesn't touch flake or pellets. He eats 2-3 mysis/krill TOPS and after that will only accept brine. I purchased selcon and garlic xtreme to soak the food and it has no impact on the amount of mysis/krill he will eat. I...

i found this at a night stalkers pet store in indiana and didn't know if these puffers are ok in fresh or salt

My wife and I have a 55 gallon fish only tank. So far we have a pair of clowns, a blue spotted puffer, and a pair of cardinals. We had a flame angel but she started going after one of the cardinals so we took her back. Now were in the market for another fish or two to complete our tank. With...

Before the addition of my Valentini Puffer, my cleaner shrimp would roam the tank with my 2 clownfish and all was well. Then when I added my Valentini Puffer, the shrimp now hides between two rocks and seems to have lost all his antennas (rn they are all very small).

So I am new to corals and only have one at the moment, a zoanthid. I am only using the stock LED lights that came with my aquarium kit so I was not going to introduce any corals until upgrading my lighting system at all, but it seems I gave in to try out one that was known for not needing much...
