Thanks all. :) I have no idea why he did it.. his tankmates were minding their own business, unless one of them did some secret ninja move. I was always under the assumption that they only inflate if threatened...

These are our candidates: Wheeler's Watchman Goby Green Clown Goby Yellowhead Jawfish Hi Fin Red Banded Goby I would like to throw in some sort of crustaceans, haven't decided yet! Going to the LFS on saturday to see if they have our choices & hold any if they do.. They've raised prices though...

Well, I was certainly surprised to turn around and see a perfect ball of a puffer in the middle of the aquarium...he deflated a little while my camera was booting up.

Hmmm...random thought! Could the spots be caused by a fuzzy dwarf in any way? These kinda swim together quite a bit in the day time...I just noticed that they're a little cozy with each other right now...and the lights are off...I just caught the dogface gently laying on top of the fuzzy, then...

Can't answer the flow Q. We have a porcupine and a dogface. We have them on a frozen varied diet which includes: White shrimp (chopped up, w/shell) Squid Krill Brine Bloodworms Silversides Our dogface was raised on food pellets, so we give him a Wafer every other day to file his teeth down with...

Also, can someone give me an estimate on how long it'll take for a 10g to cycle, if we're using the water from our 72g? LFS told us it'd only take a few days...

Okay, so here's the candidates for the 10g I'm setting up: Wheeler's Watchman Goby Green Clown Goby Yellowhead Jawfish Hi Fin Red Banded Goby And I don't mean all of them in one tank! Unless I am informed that all 4 would be cool. :) I am trying to decide on which one and if I can pick another...

Looks like the Mandarin goby is out well...>,<

Thanks for the input! I've been doing research and my hubby was guessing that I am getting him the cowfish for xmas (since he sees I am setting the tank up). I told him that there's no way we can have a cowfish and told him all the info about them, like its stress, space demands, etc. He's a...

Awww! :) There's some baby dogfaces at the LFS, they're so adorable, I wish we could bring them home...! We got our puffer earlier this year and he's about 10 years old. Got him at a garage sale, poor guy. His name is De Vito. :)

Ours cowards away at feeding time when the 3 other fish are going crazy for food, so I usually give him his food while batting the porcupine away with a fish net. lol

Ooo a fellow Hoosier! I love seeing our dogface change colors when the lights go out. Sometime he looks like he has goggles on, with the way his pattern changes! He's too cute. :) Ours only turns dark brown when he gets stressed out...which him turning brown is followed by him having the poops...

UPDATE: Seems like his bumps seem to change everyday. Today they're noticeable, while yesterday we couldn't see one speck of discoloration. I'm just going to throw this matter on the back burner for now, he's still eating normal. :) If anyone figures out what this might be, feel free to post...

I am wanting to surprise my hubby after we set up our nano tank, I am thinking about getting him a cowfish. Our tank is only about 10g & I was going to buy this 1" cowfish that's been at the LFS for a while. The hubby's loves the little cutie. From what I read, cowfish are passive & can wipe out...

ah ha! Thanks for letting me know that. I tried checking the light hood just now and all I see is warnings about light wattage. I'll check it again more thoroughly later. I do see some screws though, so I probably won't chance it either! Thanks for the info on what's in your tank, that helps me...

We currently have a 10g glass aquarium that's brackish right now. We plan on trying to turn it into a saltwater set up, whenever we decide to kill the remaining ghost shrimp. The LFS told us we could keep using the filter system we had, but I want to be sure of this! The aquarium has an...

UPDATE: Well, the spots are still on him. He's still acting normal though. I couldn't get clear shots, but I did the best I could. Anyone have any idea what this COULD be? I'm baffled! Also, we came home to this near his mouth: Maybe unrelated? He's been looking old these past couple of...

The LFS did it by salinity. He said to add 5-6 cups of salt to the water, which I was fine with...until I tested it again before I went to do it. I tested it about 5 times, before & after I rinsed out the hydrometer, tapped the hydrometer, etc. Our hydrometers always read correctly with one...

Our puffer usually has a smooth texture & his base color is usually perfect. No dark spots besides the obvious black markings! I noticed the difference (right off the bat) when I woke up yesterday. The hubby asked about him as soon as he looked at him too (I hadn't said anything yet). The bumps...

We've had him since October and he was always scared of the stick/fishing line methods I tried..he got familiar with the net though. Like I said, all is good so far, he's eating his din-din just by me throwing it in directly at him. Don't know if he realized that the other fish were eating...
