GIZMO THE FAHAKA 3 MONTHS LATER!

[davo]

just an algae scraper will do fine. that and keeping low nitrates and less light etc.

Sterilizer would be good for keeping others away from a sensitive fish though. Fahakas will pull ich if you look at them funny.

this is true.

took the royal out...left the algea eaters in there...i don't care if he eats those...plus i can't srape the algea cuz it's all over the rocks and plants

 

[Reiner]

Up the water changes and try to keep Nitrates below 10 and your algea will disappear slowly.

I have a better idea for removing algae in a fahaka puffer tank. Get a large (by large I mean 100+) snails, either ramshorn or mystery, and toss them in. The puffer won't be able to eat them all, and they will continue to breed, and provide a constant source of food for the puffer.

i've heard many stories of fahakas dying due to overeating so i dunno if i wanna risk that...but it's funny cuz i just bought 2 pounds of live snails at the chinese grocery store near my house...oh and i fed the bugger a live blue crab as well 1.99 a pound it was only 0.27 of a pound. (don't worry i cracked off the claws before i put it in)

 

[Dovii dude]

Is this a fresh water Puffer???

Yes, it is one of the two large FW puffers.

I love feeding live crabs to the puffer. He loves to bite their heads off, and they hardly ever make it to the bottom of the tank.

you evil man!

I know they're already dead. my betta is the same way with crickets. just keeps crunching it into smaller pieces untill it goes down.
