Oops didn't mean to post the pic 3 times! Here is another better pic And forgot to add, no fish or anything new for several months.

I have a black skirt tetra that has a bump just under his mouth. It almost looks like a pimple ready to be popped. The closest thing I've been able to find is that it may be a fish louse..? From what I've read I have to physically pull it off, but then what? I'll try and upload a pic, but it's...

I have a divided 10 gal. There is a male betta on one side and a female on the other. There are also several dwarf frogs in there. The frogs have a little opening where they can go back and forth to each side. Yesterday the betta switched! Completely just traded sides! The opening isn't big...

yes i know. i have a green spot puffer myself. but the mts have cone shells making them very very hard shelled snails. puffers should not be eating these snails because of this. they can choke to death

Anyone for some MTS? Malasian Trumpet Snails - Fish - Pets and Livestock - Roy - For Sale - Classifieds | ksl.com or maybe you could just go to your lfs and get some for... free..!? additionally.. "If you are feeding these to your Freshwater puffers, i would house them separately as these snails...

Hey I killed my mower yesterday too! And almost my dog :( Anyway looking forward to pics :)

He is cute! Can you get some better pics? He looks like a figure 8 to me..

That looks like a figure 8 puffer..? Or maybe even a green spot? Are you positive its a dwarf?

I'm sorry you lost another one! Is your last one not healthy either?

Makes sense! Thanks :)

What would the factors be terrance?

Ok sorry.. what I mean by bottom out.. Sometimes if there is an issue with the tank the ph will drop, drastically! In that case its important to be able to measure where its at. Otherwise the high ph test is all you need

If its high it will register the highest color. No need to use the low one unless it bottoms out for some odd reason

When you thaw it out put some garlic in with it that might stimulate his appetite. Also ask for pest snails, no need to buy. Pond snails and ramshorn snails are the best. Avoid Malaysian trumpeter snails. Their pointy shells make them hard and could choke your puffer. I also feed mine ghost...

Mine is .25 also. Stop I always have a trace of ammonia. Glad you got the test kit! See nothing to worry about!
