Hello all   I have a 15 Gallon tank housing one dwarf puffer fish, two otocinclus catfish and two crystal shrimp. The tank is very heavily planted and the plants are thriving. I change at least 25% of the water weekly, my question is is this too often? I am running a fluval filter that filters...

fairly sure it's a male and female judging by the markings,he has a very defined black line on his belly etc.   There was originally 4 but I had issues with parasites and Iost two. The big one who I think is the male was the quickest to recover and always first to grab the blood worm.   I have 6...

Hello All   I have two dwarf puffers and one has become very aggressive,to the point where he wont let the female eat. He has grown much bigger than she has and she hasn't eating in a few days now. The tank is 60l with lots of live plants but he still chases her around.   Would getting a couple...

They were kept as freshwater.    Two now seem a little bit more energetic, but still arent eating. there is currently mysis floating around looking like snow,

They are definitely not eating, i dangled bloodworm right in front of them, even flipped a snail upside down were they were laying and nothing. They seem disorientated and keep bumping into things.

If they are are starving why are they not eating? Any tips on getting them to eat? We have frozen bloodworm and the snails. The snails are misc from the LFS, and have only been put in there today so its not the snails.

Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, nitrates 25, GH 250,KH 180, PH 7.4 temp is a steady 26 degrees c.

That one does yes, A slightly larger head and a sunken yellow stomach. I have posted a thread here:   http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/416666-very-sick-dwarf-puffers/#entry3507692   Rather than adding to this thread which was about the tank cycling. I hope this is ok, and I really...

Hi Guys   I do have a post in the newbies section but its under a different thread topic, so I have created a separate one in the hope of gaining more help.   I have a new tank, its about 6 weeks old and was cycled fish less with Ammonia, it has held the levels at 0 and still is. On friday I...

Yes I changed the water before adding them and did an 80% change today. No improvement and they look so ill. I will upload a picture Very Sick Puffers:  

They were drip acclimatised for around an hour. Would this kill them 4 days after them been introduced? The bucket we used is the same one we use for the other tank too and isnt used for anything else. They this morning are in a very bad way,laying on the bottom breathing slowly. I can only see...

They were drip acclimatised. Readings are consistently 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites and a small reading of nitrate.

Well the tank cycled and is holding the levels well.we added 4 dwarf puffers and something went horribly wrong. Three of the puffers are just laid on the floor after 3 days and don't look too healthy. The levels are still good so I don't know what went wrong.

I bought some of the Kleen Off. I tested the tank this morning ready to add my first dose of Kleen off and was very suprised to see some more promising results   Ammonia: 0, Nitrate 50, Nitrite off the scale.   I had a plant that had died but I only removed a few days ago so that must have...

I just bought some from the Range as its the only place I could find it...and it foams on top when shaken.I take it it can't be used
