Re: Freshwater Puffer Native to US
On the east coast we have northern, box and porcupine puffers. They are all marine and I don't have a marine setup anymore. My only setup is a native fish tank and I don't want to ruin my tank by adding an invasive species. My LFS has Fakahas and Avocado puffers and that triggered my puffer urge.

Re: puffer ID
It looks like a Northern Puffer. I asked the store about a scientific name but it wasn't listed.

Re: puffer ID
Here is a video. I went through the pufferpedia pictures and it didn't look like any of them.

Re: puffer ID
It's not a porcupine. I didn't want to sway anyone's opinion but it was labeled as a evil eye puffer.

Re: Multiple Puffers
The puffers look great. They are active, eating and picking at my rocks/statue. It is nice to have a fish in my tank that people will actually notice. The tankmates are an American eel, leucistic grouper and a pair of mandarins. All which I rarely see. There are also 3 mummichogs which are a little ...

Re: Multiple Puffers
Thanks for the reply. I will try and get pictures next time I am at the store. A different store by me had green spotted puffers and I got 2 of them. I will post pictures once they finish acclimating. The reason why I asked about the algae is because I had a New Guinea puffer that ate all my Macros,...

Re: Multiple Puffers
So I took down my vat and upgrading to a 8ft vat. In the mean time I have a 40 gallon glass vat I would like to use for puffers until my new vat is up and running. The petshop by me has puffers labeled as figure 8's but I think they are Tetraodon fluviatilis, Ceylon Puffers. My tank is a macro algae...

Re: Multiple Puffers
I am a little sensitive about my vat. I hear lots of ignorant comments relating to it. There is sand in the vat. It is black sand. Old eyes have a hard time seeing it. Usually grazers and beaked animals are an issue with rays in smaller vats. Like standard 220 gallon glass vats. If given enough room...

Re: sharks and puffers
I had a New Guina puffer in with my catshark for about a month while my pond was taken down during construction. It was only for a short time but I had no problems. The puffer is now in my dads tank with bamboo sharks. Some people also have problems with the puffer picking at the sharks. There is so...

Re: Multiple Puffers
I am not sure if calling my set up a vat was suppose to be derogatory. Even a glass tank is a vat, since a vat is a container or tank ment to hold water. My vat is a pool and pond liner. Here is a video of my vat. Since the video I moved about 150 pounds of rock from my old vat (a glass vat) into th...
