  • Internal Parasites and Your Puffer - What to watch for

    This is my experience with IP's (internal parasites) and puffers. 99% of all puffers are wild caught. There are very few puffers that will breed in captivity. With that being said you "must" treat any puffer you purchase for IP's.

    If you are thinking about buying a puffer make sure you have
    a fully cycled tank. Ammonia and Nitrites are highly toxic to puffers. Do your research before you buy. What size tank does my
    puffer need, is the puffer I want freshwater or brackish water?...

  • Puffer Dentistry for small puffers

    Last night I moved all the South American Puffers from one tank to another. I took the opportunity to clip their teeth since I had them out of the tank anyway. I finally got the ratio of MS-222 to water so that the puffer goes under in about a minute. All the times prior to last night, it took about 10 minutes, so I wanted to document and share this info.

  • How to treat malawi bloat with clout

    It has been my opinion for many years, that unless you catch it before any die, then Metro is fine to cure it. BUT...once you loose a fish, or fish go a couple days and no eating, there is nothing that works better than CLOUT. Use CLOUT in this method. Start with a 50% water change. Then dose as prescribed on the bottle. Then Second day dose as the bottle says Third day dose as the bottle says. 4th Day, 50% water change and dose per bottle... Always treat for 5 days if even all fish are eating. ...
