Technically yes . But if your rocks have parasites so does the puffer so either way you would be introducing them .

GTA how did you make out?
Is our little gold friend a happy camper?

Your QT is going through a cycle. Get him in the DT as soon as you can.

Its looks like he's going in the DT. I just checked the readings on the QT, Amm-2.0 PH 7.8, so he is being dripped for an hour, then going in. That's it ! What a ride !

Hey guys ! Very sorry for the late reply, I had to work a double shift. But anyways the Goldster is doing good. I acclimated him for an hour and he feels right at home. Swimming with the pack. I'm about to feed him in a while, hopefully he'll follow the others and eat. Thanks for the concerns. Hey EL ! About the rocks, should I just leave them in the 20 gal for about 30 days then put them back in the DT-? Jayson, I'll have some pics up shortly. Also, how can I delete this thread -?

Yeah . Its not going to hurt anything to leave them in there while it cycles .

You are fine to leave the rocks in there. Cycle the tank the rest of the way so that you do not have this issue again. I wouldn't normally say to move him, but you may have lost him in that water.
We will leave this thread open for other people to learn from.

Thanks EL ! I really appreciate the help Sep ! The puffer is doing well, only thing, he's still not eating. I tried Mysis,Large Mysis, Krill, Silversides, Squid and Formula One. He does like to take a bite out of the rocks and I think I seen him eat one large piece of Mysis. Should I be worried -? Pics are coming up tonight !!

I was going to ask for a picture . Try to get a good one of his beak . So we can see how long the teeth are . He might have an over bite and thus not eating . Hard to say though . Try going with a fresh clam or muscle . Just smack it with a hammer to crack the shell and then offer it to him .
