The Do's And Dont's Of Feeding Puffers

[lilacamy931]

Well this morning I learnt how not to feed puffers and did some proper ones so you can see how quickly their bellies bulge

Step One - Do not feed fingers

why not start one thread about puffers and put all the info in that rather than starting 1000000 new threads per month

this would stop 10000000000000000000000000000 threads on puffers it would also help new members looking to buy puffers don't you think if all the info they need was in one place

Isn't that what the pinned sections at the top are for? Shall we all stop posting our pictures, videos and experiences of our fish......... just so we don't clutter up the board!

TBH dont care, no thats a bit harsh, I really wanted to share, those that enjoyed fab! I always had the understanding of having pictures and videos in the related topic.

Hey AdAndrews

They are currently freshwater and getting marine salt this weekend to add, will keep updated when get to that part! Definately feel the need to get them to brackish sooner rather than later

p.s. Just an idea it might be helpful to have a Photograph and Journals bit like in betta forums that way posts like mine make their way in there no trawling through and hopefully won't bug anyone, also interesting to keep track of peeps menagerie especially when oddballs involved!

 

[AdAndrews]

thats great lilacamy, im getting a few books for brackish and marine in the next few days to read up on the subject..
oh T1KARMANN give us a break!

 

[lilacamy931]

Oh let me know what ones you end up with and if any good, I always like more to read!

 

[jennybugs]

Great video clips Amy!

Maybe T1KARMANN needs to chill out a bit....don't forget, we all make mistakes, we sometimes want to share things with others to spread our joy of our fish and may not straight away think where a thread might need to go!
None of us are perfect and all that jazz.

Rather than all that crud you posted in your first post, maybe a bit of tact wouldn't have gone amiss...a simple "Maybe this should be in the video section" comment wouldn't have offended anyone! That would have been more than sufficient!

 

[helterskelter]

take a chill pill man

in the feature why not report a post to the mods and let them deal with it?

 

[millie1]

nice fish


nelly sent me over here to ask a few questions about these fish


ive got 2 of them - sold to me as freshwater - do i need to put marine salt in asap?? (gradually put in the salt??)

or can they quite happily live in freshwater???

thanks

 

[jennybugs]

Here is a little info on them but they are basically a fish that requires high end brackish water sooner rather than later. I believe a gradual raising of salinity is necessary and some people even keep them in full marine conditions eventually.

Neale Monks has a great book here about brackish water fish and it's well worth the read!

Here's an article from his homepage. This will tell you alot about brackish water info

You'll find more info on GSPs in the brackish section though
