I've had an insane puffer the past few days now he's not eating and he's just bitting the glass. Well I might of figured out what is going on. And it leads to his diet. And the culprit is frozen krill. From what I've read Frozen or Freeze dried Krill is like "Crack" for him. It can cause...

The other day I bought some cleaner clams which don't usually move a whole lot but this one clam is on a mission. He's dug down in the sand and almost went the whole length of my tank in one day. The rest are just sitting there doing their thing. That's why that clam is the fastest moving clam...

Recently he has been bitting the glass on the tank. Loud enough to where I can hear it. It's almost like he's seeing his reflection and attacking himself.

Has anyone ever seen a Porcupine Puffer intensionally stick himself to the filter intake and stay there? So far it's not hurting him and the intake for the filter isn't that strong so he can swim away. I just find this to be odd behavior, and have never seen a fish do this before. Did I buy a...

A few days ago Ich showed up, I got some ich-attack organic. However I am still in the process of treatment and it is starting to clear up on my fish. But I am dealing with High Nitrates between .20 & .40ppm and Nitrites .25ppm. Ammonia is 0 and PH is between 8.2 - 8.4 so that's still good...
