Pool came with the house. Since I live in Chicago, that would be quite a bill to heat it in the winter!purplecandle;4816297; said:
Shame on you PP, opting for a pool when you could have gotten a MBU pond!!!

Ok, so far I have figured that it takes about a month for a puffer to go from emaciated (super skinny) to a good weight (not over weight).
So you have been at it for 5 days, he was not super skinny to start with just underweight and he is half way now. So a good estimate for your puffer to get "right" is 10-15 days (5 to 10 days left). Let me know if this estimate turns out to be right.
So far I have seen this time scale work for GSP, Tugidus, Fahaka, F8 and dwarf.
I am such a dork!

Hahaha, it is cool to see someone tracking this though. GSP would EASILY eat 5 or more shrimp in a sitting, but I am making him take things slow.
What a porker.. or should I say large boned woman as to not offend her? lol. wish my puff puff would get nice 'n chunky like that.. i've had to resort to live blackworms atm as she went off her feed now for the past 2 weeks and its the only thing she'll take =/ I think she's mad I moved her out of the 54 and back into a 20. few more weeks and then I can move her back.
