could be. he does like to separate the shrimp from everything else.

Hi guys, I've got a porcupine puffer fish named Fatso. He eats anything in his path. However, it's been about 3 days since he has anything to eat. I noticed that his mouth won't open. He is hungry, he chases the food but can't really open his mouth. I am scared that his teeth are too big and need tr...

He is 3-4 inches. He moves around when i put a leaf inside and chases it.
He acts like a cat.
Maybe is the tank size, I can't get a bigger one in the apartment I live in. Once I move in August I can get a nice big one for him.
He's never got sick and his colors are always bright.

Hi guys, I've moved now from GSP to marine puffers. My babies are sooo pretty. Fatso is a nice porcupine puffer that I bought about 7 months ago. He's a healthy fellow with a GIANT appetite.

I have now a GSP named fatso. He's 3 inches and he's almost in saltwater conditios.

I threw him a little snail. he enjoyed that waaaaaaay too much. Also, when you guys do the water change. Does the pu...

I'm pretty sure he wants more food ALL the time. I only feed him once a day.
I'll feed him more. I want him Fat and Pretty.
Thanks!

Do they like real rocks to make caves for them?

Hey everyone! I'm new to the forums. I've been keeping molly tanks and decided to get a puffer tank. I got this tiny guy which I have named Mr Angry Kirby. He was sold to me as a dwarf up to an inch type of puffer. But he seems way more similar to the spotted green puffer fish. He is very aggressive...
