Meet Pipsqueak.

I thought it was time for a puffer tank update. Plants are growing well and the puffers have been busy I guess, because I found 2 microscopic baby pufferfish today.

Although this is probably not the cause, but perhaps try adding some more foods into to his diet to vary it a bit. Mine usually has flakes one day, betta pellets one day, bug bites one day, bloodworms or daphnia one day, whatever else I have on hand another day, shelled peas another and then...

It could be his genetics, Betta's changing colours is not unheard of. But then again it could be something else entirely, but your water change shedule would suggest to me that water quality probably isn't the issue. What are you feeding him? As for the bump, I can kind of see something in...

Our 10g has strips like these, very useful to rest the lid on.

That looks fantastic, can't wait to see it with the shrimp in.

My clown pleco did everything it could to not be caught when we moved it over to it's upgrade tank, buried itself in the substrate, latched onto the glass, and was generally a sneaky little p.i.t.a.

I have Platys in a Juwel Rio 180 and the pump says it's 600 l/h, it's got a pretty strong flow and the Platys don't seem bothered by it, in fact they seem to purposely swim up to the strongest bit of the current on occassion.

Here is my Birthday/Dwarf Puffer Tank. It's a Fluval flex 57 and I set it up on the 5th of September. Fishless cycled with quick start. Added 3 Dwarf Puffers on Saturday just gone. Apart from the skull, all the decor is handmade by me. The plants are Java Fern, 2 types of Jungle Val, Anubias...

For my birthday last month I treated myself to a Fluval Flex 57. It's now set-up, cycled and was stocked on Saturday with 3 adorable Dwarf Puffer Fish. Just after being set-up A couple of weeks later Vorhees, one of my puffers I'll add some photos of the other 2 soon hopefully.

Okay, I have a juwel rio 180, so should have a similar filter, the bioflow 60. If I'm correct (and it's like mine) then it's an internal filter box in one corner fixed into the tank? I cannot work out how it got in there unless it somehow swam up the outlet pipe.

What kind of filter was it? You may need to do some platy proofing.

This Hoshi, she is a Burmese and is 14 years old. I've had her since she was a kitten and she has grown up alongside my 2 children. Despite being small in stature she's definitely a large part of the family and cannot enter a room without making her presence known. Typical of Asian cat...

Hello, totally forgot to post an intro on here, I've been lurking for a bit. Anyway, I'm Becca and I'm from the UK. I help a friend out with their 180 ltr tropical freshwater tank, I also oversee and help my 12 year old with her Betta tank and have just recently bought and set up a lovely...

Thank you @PheonixKingZ :)

Well, if the wife wants kissing gourami then she should have kissing gourami, along with a shiny new tank that's big enough ;)

Hello Howard. I can't wait to see what you do with your tank. Any plans on stock yet?

I care-take a tank for someone, so I don't get much of a say in the decor, so there is a castle, a small boat and a fake rock cave. However, each one has a function as the fish can hide in all of them if they wish. I did insist on lots of live plants, which are growing out nicely. My daughter...

Petsmart might be using the same test strips as you are, so their results might not be that reliable either. So I'm going to jump on board with everyone else and suggest a liquid test kit.

I missed your post when I typed my response to Pheonix's post :)

I'm not sure how a link to a green spotted puffer info sheet going to help the OP, here's a link to dwarf puffers instead - http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/carinotetraodon-travancoricus/ But, yes, deworming. Puffers are prone to internal parasites, so will need to be dewormed...

Being a relative newb to fish keeping I was constantly picking out as many snails as I could find when I started up my first tank. However many I took out it didn't seem to make a blind bit of difference. Now I don't bother with picking them out and it seems like the snails have balanced...

Check with the place you bought them from to see if they dewormed them.
