Well, the snail did disappear a few weeks ago and the puffer was fine, until Tuesday, I found him dead :( I wonder if there was some underlying condition related to the snail being stuck there.

I fed my puffer last night and he seemed fine. Today when I was doing a water change I noticed what I at first thought was a growth on his nose-on further analysis, I'm pretty sure it's a snail stuck right on his nose! I tried netting him and removing it with tweezers, but I don't trust myself...

Hello everybody, I have a 20 L tank with a lone male dwarf puffer (was two, the other one died in September), and several plants. I also keep a 5 gallon snail farm. I usually change the water every week (20% for the puffer tank, 50% for the snail farm). Today I tested the water for nitrates...

Thanks everyone! I did indeed decide to go with a 20 Long. I'm still not fully decided with what fish I actually want to get. Originally, I had wanted to get an aquarium in order to keep dwarf puffers. However, then I started thinking I'd do something more "easy" like platies. And yet, now I'm...

Thank you! Yep, 29 and 20 L are the same footprint. I know bigger is better, but I always thought that saying was mostly about surface area, which for these two tanks sizes is exactly the same. My local petco only has 20 Ls by themselves or as part of reptile starter kits, they don't have...

Hello, I am planning to start a freshwater aquarium in my (townhouse-style) apartment. However, the only place I can put it is on the third floor in my room, which is all carpeted floor. I want something small since I'm the third floor, but I've also seen posts on this forum and others...

Hello everyone! I'm a student at the Ohio State University studying TESOL. While my big interest right now is learning foreign languages/travelling, I have decided to get back into the fish-keeping hobby now that I live off campus and can afford to. I used to be very into aquariums when I was...
