My family LOVES geocaching. It is actually a great way to spend time with your kids out in nature and away from iCarly among others My daughter is 7 and we have been going since she was 4. She now has her own GPS and can find with the best of 'em.

I have had the same problem lately, almost to the point of SilverDak's. I finally have it under what I think is control. Believe me it is a slow go. I took out what rocks I could without causing too much chaos and scrubbed them with a toothbrush when I did water changes. I also took out all...

Hey all! Great news... He is eating!! Stuck a whole shrimp in the rock and he finally started nibbling. His side looks lots better. It does not look infected at all. I have not put any meds in and probably won't if it stays this good. He sleeps in a hole in the rock but always gets out and...

I haven't used either of those, but I have a whole shrimp in with garlic on it. I stuck it in the rock close to him. This is the first time he is looking interested. I am tryin to leave him alone, but I tell you its hard when he is finally giving me some hope!! Keep your fingers crossed!

He is in a 20g right now. I know its small, but its bigger than the 10g QT I have. The puffer is only about 2 inches right now. He will be going into a 120g later, assuming he lives through it all. Still hangin in so far.

Still not eating. He is up swimming. Your right.... He is a tough little dude.

I was a bit afraid of that. I can put him in the QT but was trying not to stress him anymore than he already is.

My puffer has an open wound. Can I put antibiotic in the tank with live rock?

Ok, next problem/question: Can I put antibiotic meds in a tank with live rock? The little guy got sucked into a powerhead and now has an open wound. I feel awful. This little guy is having a terrible start.

I haven't tried the live shrimp. I will today. Anything is worth a shot. He still hasn't eat a bite.

The SG was high. I realized it when I was checking everything. Can't answer why other than I just haven't paid enough attention. I did slowly lower it back down to 1.023. I think the little guy is gonna die. Still hasn't eaten anything. Its belly looks wrinkled/shrinking.

Thanks, that makes me feel a little better. I was a little worried that that might happen with the coral banded but he is very tiny too. Maybe he will stay in the rock and out of sight. Usually does

I got a little dogface puffer yesterday. I acclimated him for about 2 hours, left the lights out and put him in his new home. He seemed ok, checked out things then got in a corner and, I guess, slept all night. Today he has done nothing but swim up and down one side of the glass. He won't...

Thanks for all your help. Keep your fingers crossed!

Ok. Got the meds and put in the first treatment. Should I still do the water changes and raise the salinity while I am treating?

Ok. I can run and try to find some. What is it? What do ya think is the problem?

Every now and then its like he gets a burst of energy and moves around alot. When he swims he sometimes does it upside down or looks like he is bouncing on his tail

He is breathing rapidly. Nothing looks swollen and his color is good.

Ok, I can do that. I do have hiding spots. Actually he has been extremely shy the entire time. He has been eating fine. Then about a week ago he got brave and started swimming in the whole tank, even eating with me standing in front of the tank. Then about 3 days ago he stopped eating and...

A refractometer. It has been in hypo for a month tomorrow
