Thanks for the reply. No my puffer is doing fine right now his eating habbits have returned he must have reacted to the water change. Ok, I'm going to do that hyposalinity thing I'll let you know how that turns out. I have a few questions for you(pufferlover). My puffer is a 7to8 inch arothron...

He's dead. I did a water change and removed some of the cc from the tank. I alse tried to give him a f/w dip which went well until I added him back to the display tank. I'm really discouraged! I don't like to lose any of my animals. I'm going to take a time out in the saltwater fish game...

I have my 7inch puffer in a 3gal bucket for a water change. My water levels are off right now, the nitrites are way above 4.0, the ammonia is at .50, the ph is at 8.2 alk., and the nitrate is at 40. Should I put the puffer back into this water at this time or wait?

I tried to save my grouper that had ick. I did a 50% water change and I took out most of my cc to see if that would reduce my nitrite problem. Anyway, the grouper didn't make the transition. Tell me what I did wrong. 6 First, I took my grouper out the tank and put him in a 3gal bucket until...

So you saying that I can treat the fish in my tank without setting up a hospital tank? Ok, what's buffer and how do I measure the amount I'm putting in and the amount that should be in the tank?

My grouper live with a 8inch puffer that loves to eat. I began to see what looks like knicks all over the grouper. I thought at first that the puffer was attacking him at night. So when he stopped eating I was determined to find a salution so I read post after post till I came to the...

I have just fish in my tank with five turbo snails. I have two corals for decoration and driftwood. For subtrate I started out with sand not live just regular sand. Then I added cc after. I'm beginning to set up a hospital tank as we speak. It's a 10gal. would that be sufficiant? Is there...

I have a 125gal tank with a 8inch mapp puffer and a 6inch blue spotted grouper. The grouper has ick for about three to four weeks. Me being a beginner to this hobby I just found out what it was. Anyway, the grouper looks like he's getting better. He is still not eating but it's less parasites...

Davidcanupp, maybe your grouper has a disease. I just found out that mine has ick. I still would like to know if that is the reason though. Thanks for the post.
