We were treating an ich problem a few weeks ago, the tank is f/o. We added the puffer after the ich was gone but the angel also had a fungus that we were not aware of. After the puffer was added the angel worsened. I am using para-guard right now & it seems to be working very well, his color is...

I posted this in the disease section but no response so I'll try here. I have a coral beauty that has small lesions and "whitish stuff" on his head it does not look like ich it looks more like a film or worms maybe, we treated the tank w/copper and he is losing all his color, the lfs said angels...

I have a coral beauty that lost his color and seems to have lesions on him and some "whitish stuff" on his head, It doesn't look like ich it looks more like a film or worms maybe? He is also doing a shimmy thing alot but still is eating and swimming ok. Anyway we treated the tank w/copper for...

Did you ever find out what was wrong? I have a coral beauty that is just like your problem, it looks like his scales were scraped & his color is fading badly. He also was alone in a tank when I bought him. hmmmm

The coral beauty had a small white place when I bought him, the lfs rubbed on it and said it is just a missing scale so I brought him home, the next day it was bigger then he broke out in ich, I treated w/copper it went away but where the original white place was it like a scar or lesion maybe...

Ok here's the deal, I have a coral beauty (lg) and recently had to remove my picasso trigger that had been alone in the tank for too long and now kills everything I try to add. So when I returned him I got a porc. puffer the lfs had just received him the day before I brought him home. The puffer...

If it ever came to me actually having to clip them, would I hold the fish, wouldn't that stress him out or hurt him? Thanks for the clam info!

thanks so much, I will try that. I just got him today so he has not eaten yet but I will also try the shrimp w/shells too!

I have a new porc. puffer whose teeth look pretty long & I have read you should make sure they do not grow too long or the puffer will be unable to eat. My question is how do I prevent this or file them down? Also he is not as brown as the others I have seem (he is very light colored) could this...

YES! Mine did the same he would swallow shrimp much larger than he could stand, it would just hang out of his mouth for awhile but he always managed to get it down eventually! Sorry to say I lost him last night due to an ammonia spike

We relize these fish will outgrow a 65 so we do intend on upgrading much larger when they grow bigger and turn the 65 into a reef only but for now they are quit small. Also we got lucky with the 4 we had as far as temperment goes, no one ever messed with anyone except for the lion who we...

well unfortunatly things are going down hill fast! The lfs tested our water and it all came out good & he said to do a water change that the puffer seems stressed so we put him in another lg container (all we had)did the water change and he seemed to get some of his color back so we put him back...

I have bad news to report, I did my 1st water change and had a huge ammonia spike, I lost 2new fish and my little puffer is so stressed he has lost much of his color and is struggling to breathe, if anyone knows what I can do please help!!!! He was a little stressed for some reason before so the...

I noticed a very small swollen area on my porc. puffer's back a couple of days ago but he was acting fine, yesterday there was a white discoloration on his lips (at 1st I thought fungus) but this morning it's all most everywhere and you can tell it's a discoloration, it's not raised or...

Also, my water tested good in all areas. We did a very small water change yesterday too (1st water change) The puffer is eating but as always only if it is live, we never could get him to take the frozen, oh well. He seems to be acting/breathing normal he just has this stuff. suggestions on...

sorry, I couldn't get a clear picture but this is what it looks like.

Ok I need some advice, I have a porc. puffer (been in the tank for 3 wks) I just added 3 smaller fish the other day, none of which bother him but yesterday I noticed a discoloration on his upper lip and a little on his lower lip at first I thought the new small huma trigger nipped him but as I...

Thanks! I really enjoy him but I have a feeling it's for the best to trade him, I get attached to my fish but what are ya gonna do? What kind of info do you have on a dwarf species? I really don't know much about them.

:nope: not what I wanted to hear, but thank you for the info! If this were your situation, would you trade in the lion for a smaller one or maybe a dwarf lion? He didn't seem that big at the lfs untill we put him in our 65gal and I can tell he will out grow it quickly, plus I don't really want...

Here's a pic. of my porc. puffer, man what a personalty he has! (my 3yr old named him cocoa) Any advise/info on puffers is appreciated!
