Re: Hairy Puffer

Ive owned two and both came from Wet Spot in Portland Oregon. The first I ordered online and had shipped. I sent an email asking for the “hairiest” one they had. It was a nice hairy one. After 8 years or so I lost that puff in death and I knew I wanted another. This time around I drove to Wet Spot s...

Re: What did you do with your tank today

Been a while, but about three months to the day… I had to get a replacement hairy puffer. Got it from Wet Spot in Portland, OR. Have had it since early July. Cute little thing, growing fast and very outgoing.

Re: Lifespan, How old is or was your oldest puffer?

Thank you @bengo for your kind words. I still miss my puffer every time I go out to the fishroom. I also have an arrowhead puffer but nowhere near the personality of the hairy. You will definitely enjoy having yours.

Re: Lifespan, How old is or was your oldest puffer?

Took the day off work to get some chores done around the house. Started off morning with garage water changes and to my shock found my hairy puffer dead. She was with me for 6 years and 10 months and has always been my absolute favorite fish Ive owned for personality besides my old pearsei cichlid. ...

Re: What did you do with your tank today

I must have lucked out because my hairy puffer is so outgoing and interactive with me. She really uses a lot of her 65B so has never been moved to a smaller tank. The arrowhead originally started in another 65B but it was a total waste, same with the 46 bowfront. The 30 is perfect but apparently the...

Re: Hello all!

Welcome to the forum and the wonderful world of puffers. I was always attracted to cichlid fish because of the “wet pet” personality but after getting my hairy puffer I have a favorite in my fish collection and its not a cichlid. Puffers rule, cichlids drool, lol

Re: What did you do with your tank today

I did some water changes today in my puffer tanks. My hairy puffer is still my hands down favorite fish I have. She just gets so excited to see me and I see how she just watches me when I am in the fishroom. My arrowhead is going through some funk, on a hunger strike since the move back to the 30 ga...

Re: What did you do with your tank today

I knew I should have sold my 30 gallon when I replaced it with the 46 bowfront... I got tired of tripping over it on the garage floor so I ended up setting it up, lol. Again due to the huge lack of activity from the arrowhead puffer he gets moved back to his old 30 and now the 46 becomes something e...
