ok so I've tried to grab him a couple times, had him but hes extremely slippery. Isn't puffing out or anything, just goes to the top of the tank so I take advantage of it. Figure I'll shoot some brine shrimp into his mouth. I've read you may have to re-introduce them to food. I just tested...

ya I've tried snails..doesn't even acknowledge flakes..but never has. Anyone know if its safe to grab a puffer in your hands (underwater)? I've seen it done online w/ a porcupine puffer youtube. I am considering thawing out some frozen food in tank water..inserting into a syringe I have...

i even went and got him some Ghost shrimp and nothing..the sharp nosed puffer was going crazy on them..he showed no interest

tap is 100ppm. Puffer won't eat :( refuses for maybe 4-5 days now. Stomach all sunken in. For a while he was a beast, would demolish clams..eat entire chunks of frozen food. Now he won't touch anything...I have everything..from Mysis/Brine shrimp to frozen clams on half shell..have used...

the fish remaining in tank 1- Niger Trigger 1- Dog face puffer 1- Clown Pleco 1- Sharp Nosed Puffer 1- Alage Blemmy 1- Black Spiked Urchin 1- Pacific Small lobster(possibly alive...hard to find) 2- chocolate chip starfish (1 blue) 65 gallon tank 1- Fluval 306 (400gph) 1- Biowheel Filter in...

but when I use the Amquel + with the tap water, doesn't it elimate the nitrates like it said it does? I have a RO water system on its way. Just did a minor 10 gallon water change tommorrow, another tommorrow. I did notice nitrates coming down when I re-tested, were definitely in the red...

how do i "cycle" the tank? should I not be cleaning specific parts of my fluval to hold some good bacteria? tanks been running for around 6 months..started it with argonite live sand

so what is your suggestion? my dog face puffer is at the top of the tank currently. Only sits up there for a bit then comes back down. Still not eating. Any suggestions to save him? all other fish acting fine. Best way to get nitrates/Ammonia down? water changes..? if so how frequent and how...

Hello I have a 65 gallon tank, recently had a couple fish die..introduced a "Coral Beauty" ...my Niger Trigger harrassed it..a week later dead one morning..next my Clown Fish got Fin Rot..discovered a dead Mandarin and now realized I am missing a Blue damsel..I still have my Dog faced...

The tank is has been running for around 4 months..I used Live sand with argonite that cycles your tank quickly. Is that really too many fish for a 65 gallon? it looks like a pretty big tank and they have a ton of room. The fish are all small..biggest thing is the chocolate chip starfish...

yes tap water with amquel or whatever it is and yes I do have "hair alage" and I am using a Master test kit. I will not vaccum the sand but how do i get the waste off of the top of the sand? I will not be buying anything else until everything is right. Now I have been adding around 4 gallons a...

so I am new to this. I am using a 65 gallon tank with a Oceanic Sump protein skimmer system. Also have a couple flowheads in there as well. Probably have 60+ pounds of live rock in there. As for fish I Have (1) Trigger (Niger) - (2) clownfish- (2) blue damsels or some small fish and (2)...
