Puffs aren't good candidates for community tanks. Most people find they don't bother otos; I've also had luck keeping them with bumblbee gobies. You can take a...
Cynthia, It is a dangerous situation to have puffers with any other community fish. It may seem to have been stable for the moment but it can go wrong any...

To really have brackish water, it is more complicated than just adding
teaspoons per gallon. You will need a hydrometer to get it right and a
separate tank...
Dwarf puffers are freshwater, not brackish. Otos are social and do better with at least one 'friend'; they tend to get stressed alone. Theresa ... From:...
That same question came up several months ago about frogs and salt and it was brought out by another member that it would be okay, but I don't remember who ...
I posted this question for you on our forum http://www.applesnail.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7537 There's some stuff listed there. Terri At 05:47 PM 12/3/2004,...

If the eggs are within a small (1") oval glob, hard or semi-gelatinous, they are probably snail eggs -- if you have either Pond or Ramshorn Snails. If the ...
