Recently, I observed that my figure 8 puffer has been acting a little weird and seemed to have fattened immensely in size. This is VERY unusual as he seemed to have literally doubled in size overnight. Upon closer inspection, it seems that his pectoral fins retracted into his body because I...

They're probably harmless but I'm curious to find out exactly what they are. Can anyone help to ID these little mischievous creatures?

I have a 5 gallon pond snail culture in a bucket that has recently been wiped out by some kind of worm. There is literally only one lone survivor unfortunately. I transferred the lone survivor into a smaller bucket, cleaned out the 5 gallon and filter with bleach and hot water and filled it up...

It has been around 6 months since my figure 8 puffer's unfortunate death ( didn't have a tank cover, jumped in the middle of the night ). I kept him in freshwater then and didn't really want to switch to brackish, but now I've decided to make my tank brackish this time. I'm still relatively...

I have a 5 gallon bucket ramshorn snail culture and breeding seems to be slow after the initial population boom when I first got them. I'm aware that figure 8 puffers have teeth that constantly grow and that I would need to feed the puffers snails in order to maintain their teeth. What i want to...

I've never had a problem with diseases till now and never really did much research on it either, I immediately added salt after seeing this dire situation. All 3 of my dwarf puffers have this white stuff growing on them, they seem extremely lethargic and very close to death, they also seem to be...

Hi guys! After getting into fish keeping, I've finally decided to culture daphnia for my own live food. I've done a little research on how to keep these but still have a few burning questions that needs answering. Firstly, would I be able to sustain my culture only on yeast? Secondly, would...

Yesterday I went to visit a fish store and stumbled upon a tub full of figure 8 puffers. My initial reaction was to wonder how this is even possible, the puffers were not fighting, the big puffers were not even picking on the smaller ones! This led me to think whether these puffers were...

Are there any Singaporean AA members out there? Need help on where to buy CPDs/Galaxy Rasboras! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Sorry for the blurry photo but are these detritus worms? I have detritus worms already (I already have been trying to cut down on food when I realised they were there yesterday) but these seems a little different. They have some sort of growth on them as you can see in the photo(looks like...

Well after getting my F8 puffer settled into it's new tank, I decided to get some live food(ramshorn snails) for my F8 puffer. So I set up a 2.5 gallon bucket with a filter as well as a bubbler to provide oxygen for the little guys to breed, I also have algae wafers and vegetables to feed them...

Basically I just acclimated my new figure 8 puffer fish into my new tank, however, the f8 seem to be constantly trying to 'attack' the reflection of the tank,thinking there's another puffer. For the first few minutes I ignored it thinking it was just casually exploring the tank, but 2 hours...

Today I finished cycling my first 10 gal tank and bought 6 neons and 4 otos,there's also a betta in the tank(had no problems with aggression so far:). After acclimation I released the neons and otos in the tank and a few hours later I fed the tetras and they seem to be fine but the otos...

I started to cycle my 10 gal tank today but I couldn't find pure ammonia in the Lfs or cleaning section of grocery stores(as I heard it can be found there) my parents really did not want me putting a piece of raw prawn in the tank as it would smell so I wondered what you guys cycled your tanks...

I went over to my friend's house and saw this tank with really weird fish in it.It contain a transparent fish,a few shrimp( not sure if ghost shrimp or not, had claws so probably not) and a pair of gobies. Could someone identify and give me a profile and diet of these gobies? I'm not sure where...

So I'm planning to have a 15 or 30 gallon tank with a betta in it I was planning for tankmates like neon tetras.So I came up with a combo: 6 neon tetras,1 male betta,2-3 ghost shrimps. Please tell me if it would be ok to have a tank like this. And I do not know much about owning a tank so could...

I have a budget of around $200+ a few dollars more to get a community tank I have a betta but in a really small tank that has no pump or filter ( I know it's torture for the betta ) so I decided to get a larger tank by asking you guys. Btw the budget includes everything. And I don't need a...
