I have a Mickey Mouse platy that I have had for a year develop a cottonlike growth that has spread across its body in the past few days. I noticed it yesterday, and started Tetra Lifeguard, which is a general medicine that is supposed to treat fungus, bacterial, etc. She is in an established...

I have a pea puffer that is super shy in his 5 gallon all alone. I put him in my 20 gallon (in a specimen container) and I think he liked it.

I have a 20 gallon community tank (1 year set-up, cycled) that is pretty understocked due to a few semi-recent deaths. It contains 3 zebra danios, 10 months ( I know, should have more, one recent death was one of them that was deformed and was sucked into the filter, and two mysteriously...

I have a 5 gallon tank with a single pea puffer in it (no other fish, maybe a snail if it hasn't been eaten yet). I noticed this today when I went over to the tank. I hadn't noticed it before, and I was wondering if anyone knew what it was, and if it's not good for the tank, how to get rid of...

I have had a single Dwarf puffer for about 3-4 months now. They are amazing fish, but as a lot of people know, very prone to internal parasites and worms. He is kept in a 5 gallon tank by himself, with a filter, heater, fake plants, sand. I modified the heater so that the input/output had less...

I have one Dwarf puffer in a 5 gallon tank. He is doing great, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on foods that have worked for them, or techniques that they have had success with. I knew that they were picky eaters before I got him, and so I was ready for a challenge, but I'd...

I've only had my Pea puffer for a few weeks, but he has definitely become my favorite fish. He is so smart and funny to watch. He was shy for a while, but now when I put the food in the tank he doesn't let it hit the substrate alive. I would love to see anyone else's puffers, especially...

My name is Emily. I'm from Washington state. I am relatively new to fish keeping. I had a tank about 10 years ago, but not for very long. I currently have two tanks, both freshwater. One is a 20 gallon community tank, the other is a 5 gallon for a single dwarf puffer. Here are some pictures...
