Get it from your LFS, most probably they will free you.

Why isn't there a subforum for puffers for all. Able to request for one? If yes how to?

The forum owner in TPF (The Puffer Forum) owns a nice red congo puffer in her avatar n many pple have been asking her how she achieve this colouration. She claims that she achieve that colour variation by mixing black quartz with red sand. 1/3 black + 2/3 red sand

I only tried mixing red with white before n my congo turned out to be orange lol

In Sg, not many puffer fanatics bro lol so a subforum might not be so popular so we just haf to settle with a thread

She got a red Congo I suppose. No substrate will be red too.

A subforum will be nice. I know there's many puffer lovers out there actually, esp females. Should we start a petition and with enough strength we shall request it from forum owner? Let's aim for 50?

So first step is to start a petition thread? Negative comments welcomed.

Red sand is red or basically coloured sand.

I been in this forum since Jan and the puffer fanatics has always been on the low side. Probably less than 3 pple contributing at one time. 50 is really far fetched. Puffers are non-communal fish in general which partially explains why many bros dont wanna keep em n they are high maintenace esp the bigger species. My fahaka is staying alone in my 5 feet tank.

Especially females love puffers? loving is one thing, knowing how to take care is another

i have an unlimited amount of snail in my 4 lotus ponds..its not eating it

Check your puffers teeth, does it look long? check if its pooping properly too, could be due to indigestion. How often do you feed your puffers bro?

If the beak of your puffer is long, time to be a part time dentist.

haha they are juveniles around 3cm long...i tried bloodworms..it worked but i cant keep feeding them that..

Try dried prawns. Might work.

Keep bloodwrms can. Time to buy clove oil.
