I have recently had a few problems with my tank with a high Nitrate spike which I have now sorted but this led to most of my fish getting ICH. My Porcupine Puffer wasn't really interested in eating while he was infected but now when he tries to eat the muscles I give him, he breaks the food up...

Hello TRT. I've researched high and low for a good answer, but I've drawn a blank at every turn, and I'm hoping someone who's had the same problem will have the solution! The problem seems relatively mild, I have a porcupine puffer, Porky, who's not very old (I'd say ~1 year), still small for...

Hi all! I've lurked around here for a while, and your experience has really helped me maintain my tank and keep my fish happy and healthy! I've kept aquariums since I was very little, but didn't ever set up a real salt tank until I moved into my college's dorm this year. It's been kind of a wild...

Hi everyone, looking for a little advise, i currently have a 150g FOWLR tank which is home to a stars and stripes puffer, niger trigger, snowflake eel, CC starfish and clean up crew (large hermits and large snails). I know puffers like to eat inverts but right now puffer is far too small plus...

Hello and thank you in advance for your help! Does anyone know what this is or what can be done to help him heal? We love our puffer man so much and are perplexed as to his malady that has been developing over the past 10 days. It is a white area on his head. It is not raised, not cotton, but...

Can someone please identify what kind of puffer this is?

Good afternoon everyone! My name is Daniel and I was hoping to get some feedback from the more experienced saltwater enthusiasts out there. I own a 30 gallon saltwater aquarium currently inhabited by: 1 Cinnamon Clownfish, 1 Three Striped Damsel, 1 Yellowtail Damselfish, and 1 Lawnmower Blenny...

Hi. I had two green spotted puffers. They were great, they were very friendly, very active and always seemed excited when I came in the room. I could feed them out of my hand and even pet one of them. They almost had the personality of a dog. about 2 months ago one somehow got stuck in the...

Hey:-) so I have set up a brackish fish tank and was wanting some ideas on what to put in it. I really want a puffer (Figure 8 or green spotted) but I also wanted plants and/or snails and was wanting to know what kinds I should get. Also are there any fish that can go with puffers? Thanks:-)

I was wanting to know if a Green Spotted Puffer(GSP) fish could be put in a saltwater tank WITH other fish? I was really wanting to get a puffer fish but most of them are to expensive, but then I saw a GSP for sale. It said it was Brackish but as I was researching I saw that it could also be...

i've had a freshwater setup in this tank for almost 2 years, in which time i've had your standard tropical community, i bred for a while, and i'm currently housing a green spotted puffer. over the past couple months, i've slowly added salt to the water since this type of puffer is "brackish" but...

So we have this new baby puffer fish and we have no clue what breed it is. It kinda looks like a dogface but its green and yellow. Defintely doesn't have any spikes that we can see yet. Anybody have an idea??

I have been thinking of keeping a puffer in my saltwater aquarium, but most of the saltwater puffers that are commonly sold (from what I can tell) get fairly large. So I have decided to try to convert a brackish water puffer to saltwater (one that would not be affected by this) since most of...

i just got a blue spotted toby puffer and he is settling in nicely nipping at the LR and sand. he is fun to watch but i am wondering if there is much chance, down the road, for him to live peacefully with any anemone.. i dont really have a desire for much as far as coral, but an anemone would be...

Hello! I have a 45 gallon brackish water tank with only two figure eight puffers and a ceverum currently inhabiting the space. I recently lost a ruby faced scat and when I tested the water realized my nitrates were very high while all other tests were normal. I proceeded to do a couple water...
