    • Internal Parasites and Your Puffer - What to watch for
      by edmlfc
      This is my experience with IP's (internal parasites) and puffers. 99% of all puffers are wild caught. There are very few puffers that will breed in captivity. With that being said you "must" treat any puffer you purchase for IP's.

      If you are thinking about buying a puffer make sure you have       a fully cycled tank. Ammonia and Nitrites are highly toxic to puffers. Do your research before you buy. What size tank does my
      puffer need, is the puffer I want freshwater or brackish water?...

They ate the bloodworms quickly and had no problem stuffing themselves with it. ...

    • Puffer Dentistry for small puffers
      by imagirlgeek
      Last night I moved all the South American Puffers from one tank to another. I took the opportunity to clip their teeth since I had them out of the tank anyway. I finally got the ratio of MS-222 to water so that the puffer goes under in about a minute. All the times prior to last night, it took about 10 minutes, so I wanted to document and share this info.

    • Signs of vitamin deficiency in fish
      by imagirlgeek
      Something we don't hear about often, but is important is the need for adequate vitamins delivered to your fish via either food or added to the water column. Depletion of the body storage of any single vitamin can be responsible for specific or general disease signs. ...
