90 Gallon Build - Here We Go!

try frozen bloodworms, my puffer is a crazy picky eater and thats the only thing that i can get him to eat maybe she will like that

 

Tomorrow I'm going to get some brine and I will pick up some blood worms too. Thanks for the tip. I tried squirting food in her mouth, lol I don't think it worked...

 

hahaha at least your trying everything you can. I know the bloodworms preformed miracles with my puffer i cant get him to eat anything else, no brine, mysis flakes nothing i also tried a bunch of other foods but this is the only thing he'll eat. So maybe dora will like the frozen mosquito larava as well

 

lol gross. I know I won't like them!! But if it gets her eating - that's what matters. I'm turning the lights out early tonight. Last night I turned them off late and as soon as they went out, she went right down to the sand bed to rest. It was heart breaking! When the lights are on she just swims and swims all day long in a vertical position. She must get exhausted.

 

just be careful with the bloodworms im alergic to them, its rare but who knows if your going to be too

and im sure she's feeling just like we would if were sick our energy isint as high as it normally is

 

I know. Poor little girl!

Okay, I don't plan on touching them....lol no way!

 

just use gloves i hate wearing gloves so i just touch them but sometimes i get really bad alergic reactions to them like 99% of people will be fine with them but i guess im just that 1% whose not but i have to keep using them cause tahts all my puffer will eat so i guess im risking my health for him

 

KC... so sorry to hear that.. hope she will get better very soon!!!
But Rex is stealing the show, huh? Soooo beautiful ;D

 

I have some sad news to report. Dora passed away during the night. She had Pablo II by her side which I'm sure helped her. I haven't gotten her out of the tank yet, and he won't leave her. He is just sitting on top of her. It's very heart breaking! Really helps me realize how much alike all animals are - they create amazing bonds just like humans.

 

I know. I'm going to do a 25% water change too, to get the meds out. I have her in there because I haven't heard back from my LFS yet and I don't know if they will want a picture. They have a 14 day guarantee.
