The rest is history! I have been keeping fish for over 27 years now & worked in the industry for about 8.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>I have had as many as 11 tanks running, ranging from 2g (ghost shrimp gut-loading\/snail breeding bowl)-125g (fahaka puffertank).\r\nHere is my experience with puffer species, etc:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>12\" fahaka puffer living in a 125g w\/a couple of red-tail & rainbow sharks & 2 very large plecos.<\/li>\r\n<li>2 (6\") GSPs a 5\" Ceylon. They were in a SW tank w\/assorted damselfish, a tomato clown & hermit crabs.<\/li>\r\n<li>5 South American puffers & 1 dwarf puffer living in a 50g w\/a frontosa, parrot cichlid & royal pleco.<\/li>\r\n<li>3 F8s living w\/knights, bumblebees & a dragon goby.<\/li>\r\n<li>Congo (T. miurus) puffer living in a 15g.<\/li>\r\n<li>10g hex w\/a juvenile 2\", pignose\/arrowhead puffer (T suvattii)<\/li>\r\n<li>20g tank with a 4\" T. turgidus.<\/li>\r\n<li>20g w\/a 4\" A. modestus.<\/li>\r\n<li>A lovely 90g planted tank, w\/5 assorted discus, loaches, synodontis, plecos & other oddballs.<\/li>\r\n<li>I have been keeping a 55g reef tank for about 2 years, soon to be upgraded to a 90g & am starting another 50g reef.<\/li>\r\n<li>2 55g river tanks. 1 has assorted toads, treefrogs & African clawed frogs. The other has an dwarf African bullfrog, African sideneck, Asian map & softshell turtle.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<p>(Some of those fish have been re-homed or passed away.)<\/p>\r\n<p>Unfortunately, with all those pets, I recently had to give away all 6 assorted box turtles that had a very nice habitat in the backyard but lived in my basement in a kiddie pool during the winter. I've had some of them for well over 10 years.<\/p>\r\n<p>I own a pufferfish website, The Puffer Forum & am on the Crew of WetWebMedia, in addition to moderating & submitting to countless other forums in the past. I wrote all the puffer fish profiles in the most recent publication of the Encyclopedia of Exotic Tropical Fishes, Published articles on Green Spotted Puffers & Pufferfish Dentistry in Tropical Fish Hobbyist magazine & also in WetWebMedia's online mag, the Conciencious Aquarist, in addition to an article on Dragon Gobies there. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>I am a scuba diver & underwater photographer. I ride my own 1982 custom Shovelhead Harley-Davidson & am an avid tattoo collector. My Jack Russell Terrier (Kalvin the Krazydog) rides on the back. <\/p>","link":"https:\/\/www.thepufferforum.com\/forum\/library\/author\/pufferpunk\/","slug":"pufferpunk","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/68f51498f82e4cdd0609106e1b68bdc5b2f1702c53c5f146394055a2a4309d6b?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/68f51498f82e4cdd0609106e1b68bdc5b2f1702c53c5f146394055a2a4309d6b?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/68f51498f82e4cdd0609106e1b68bdc5b2f1702c53c5f146394055a2a4309d6b?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"meta":[],"amp_review_panel_dismissed_for_template_mode":"","amp_dev_tools_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thepufferforum.com\/forum\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thepufferforum.com\/forum\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
