The Puffer Forum

def not getting them. i would love to but considering that my substrate is not the ideal... i don't want to risk it just for my curiosity and entertainment.

well i just got back.

the owner said he's not going to ship.

the red one is not more pinkish now..

the marble and tan one seems to be doing well. the employees have been feeding them crabs and crawfish - i saw the left overs..

for the abei i think i've visited and called about 15-20 different LFS. no lies i didn't find them in the first try but a place called Aqua Hut deep in long island was kind enough to take my name down and call me if it was available. The next day, they called me and ordered 5. i took 2. PP i've read...

i think all 3 were about 3 inches

im planning on stopping by tomorrow so i'll ask them. if they say no, i'll be more than happy to assist you with buying one - seems like congos are a rarity?

oh yea and would eco complete and fine gravel mix substrate work for congos? or do they have to be in sand? can't imagine they'd be in a freshwater area in the wild, with 100% sand.. ?

theyre in ny queens

just curious.. because i'm flirting with the idea of getting a congo puffer..

would eco complete mixed with very small gravel work for their substrate?

hi everyone

got myself abei puffer finally in my 20L and was curious about lighting.

i know they're active during the night, so i was wondering if anyone uses moon lights for them?
my solarmax didn't come with any moon lights so i'm considering purchasing a small separate one.

wait, are red ones harder to find?

sweet, thanks guys!

yea the red one is beautiful! i've thought about getting one but...my substrate isn't suitable for their needs
besides i have 2 wonderful abe's puffer in there right now.

one thing that made it easy not to get was their $60 asking price 0_0

hi everyone! was at a lfs yesterday and they had these 3 great looking puffers for sale labeled as 'red puffers' . . . i think one of them is a congo, but would like to know the other 2. http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i390/ndl85/photo3.jpg?t=1305308000 http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i390/n...

hi everyone and thanks for your response! yes i've already cycled my tank, it's a 10 gallon. i know it should be 5 gallons for every puffer, but im hoping that with 1 male and 2 females.. it shouldn't cause aggression. as for sexing i'm not really expecting much from petland or petco to be able to d...
