If you have any shrimp, crabs, brittle or serpent stars, hermits, or urchins and snails. They are all edible items for puffers.

I have different types of urchins in my tank they don't fight just compete for food.

Goldfish can take a wide range of water hardness and ph range. ammonia will the killer by it self. It will also leave the fish open to numerous secondary infections. Bacteria and fungal due to the loss of its slime coat and immune system break down. I'm sorry to say but this fish does...

I have hundreds of guppies and endlers. I feed them marine veggie flakes. Once a week tetra staple or goldfish flakes. I have guppies also with mollies, swords and platys no problem. they are fed the same. I tried guppies with asst. tetras and danios never worked out for the guppies...

I have treated hole in the head many times. Though the debate is out on the exact cause Ill side with water condition and dietary on Oscars. With Angelfish ill go with stress and diet. Either case early treatment is a must and isolation. What I found to work is Metronidazole for whole in...

Both of those conditions stem from water conditions followed by secondary infections. With all those meds there immune system must be about zero and I would guess there insides can not look good with that much medication. how much food were you feeding them? I find the biggest problem with...

I have several limpets in the tank that I have urchins in. The limpets are never in the water. My water level is 3 in down from the top just for them. The urchins 1/4 of the time are out of water. Low tide on the reef there are loads of urchin out of water. Just do a reg. water change...

My QT time depends on what type of fish I have in QT and the number of fish in the QT tank. QT for me is from 6 weeks to 4 month. Tangs and Idols no less than 10 weeks. Blennies 6 weeks. Lionfish and leaf scorpions 8 weeks. Wrasses 6 weeks. File fish and puffers 6-8 weeks. Butterflies 10...

Mine did fine in a125 gal planted tank. Only kept them in smaller tanks when I use to sell them.

I have all types of canisters. The sun sun was the worst every one except 1 leaked like a siv. I sent every one back. There gasket is terrible. For the price go with the cascade 1000. I have this running a 55 gal saltwater no problem. I have 3 of them. I'm going to purchase another to run...

Lucky I sold a lot of goldfish and turtles due to new ponds and goldfish pools being constructed. I'm down to about 100 lg goldfish and 12 turtles. I want zero goldfish and my 2 original Turtles. My old female didn't lay eggs this year so I think shes done.( I HOPE) Shes 14yrs old.

Methylene blue yes but its going to make a mess out of that tank. I would not use it for just one mollie. May I suggest you buy a cheap plastic storage container like the ones they use for clothes but smaller around 2 gal. or a critter container also 2 gal. Cheap small air pump and small...

Just saw the picture of your pond. The fish will not winter in that pond they will freeze.

My friend has a 60 gal with 2 lg koi 1 comet and 1 lg clown loach and it looks crowded. hes running a small pool filter on it. Even your filter rated for a hundred gallons I bet is not efficient for the amount of fish you have in your tank now. I don't think its going to take much for...
