To combat the hair algae problem I started injecting hydrogen peroxide in 5ml shots directly onto the wood. The algae immediately went white. I took that as a good sign and will continue this until it’s all gone. Here is a part of the wood just seconds after I applied the 3% HP solution.

The Kill.

Amazing Photos were taken by my Fiancé.
Mediocre photos were taken by me or my daughter.

We have noticed there are two types of dwarf Puffers. The ones with roundish black random spots, as the one on the left side of this picture, are more docile. While the one on the right has a diamond shaped spot and geometric patterning is more aggressive. I wonder if they are two different breeds?

I bought a new feeding bubble to replace the cone. This one is glass with a suction cup so I don’t have to chase the cone around the tank. It isn’t the best quality and took forever to get delivered but it is nicer to look at.

The difference you see in behaviour and patterning, might that be females and males?

That is the conclusion a few others had but they are so young I can’t tell yet. I researched that the males develop a stripe on their bellies and are more colorful so I’ll need to wait and see if this develops further.

I am very happy with it and even the algae has taught me a lot about fish keeping.

Thank you, I do end up staring at it for long periods of time and neglect the world outside. It’s been a real treat to hear the input from everyone on here.

I tried feeding blanched zucchini to the otos and some shrimp I have in another tank. No one wanted it. I cooled it off and everything....

I ordered a phosphate test kit to see if it was causing my algae. Here is what I got. I’m at 2 ppm. Tomorrow I’ll do a little research and see if it’s too high and if so what to do to remedy that.
