Sadly this fish has been sold to someone.

RIP little fishie..

This guy who is local to me refuses to be educated on proper puffer care. He keeps buying them, then realizing he can't afford to keep them sells them The one he has now is a Takifugu Ocelatus He's keeping it in a 10 gallon (that's right) Brackish tropical tank. I don't have room for him or else I w...

Unfortunately we only have a 32gal, with the LR and substrate it wouldn't be nearly enough room. :( He's not mine. He belongs to an idiot that refuses to be educated and makes fun of me when I try. He's trying to sell the fish for $150. If anyone in the Annapolis Valley would like to try to rescue i...

This guy is for sale on my local yardsale site by some guy who doesn't know Eff all about puffers. I missed out on rescuing fahakas from him. (He put TWO In a community tank full of tetras FFS one lived, then he sold it I was gonna get it but no tank..) http://i.imgur.com/KFrfpTM.jpg He says it's an...

Missed you!!! Are you setting up your tank??? When I get a job. We bought a house and things are pretty tight. So I need to get my butt in the work force so I can afford a new fishy friend (and a new hood to replace the broken one) I might go full marine with like 1/2 the live rock in the Canister ...

No, I'm not dead. I just didn't feel it right to post when I had no more puffers and my aquarium is sitting in my garage gathering dust until I can get a job to offset the cost of having one set up. I miss my Pepsifish :( Does anyone know of any LFS Between Halifax NS and Digby NS (Annapolis Valley)...

Me and the husband are playing around with getting a Fahaka when we get to where we're moving. Now...I KNOW We'll have sufficient notice prior to our next move for us to set up a temporary tank for one and arrange for it to get shipped when we get to our new place and set up, all while keeping the f...

I think the thing I miss the most about Pepsi is how he used to get all excited whenever I even went NEAR the freezer. He knew his food came from there. he almost jumped out of the tank whenever I opened it to get our food out lol. He always thought it was for him.

I'll always put silk/plastic in with puffs. Except DP's..they seem to LIKE plants. lol.

I've heard of Fahakas totally destroying a planted tank

Well we took Pepsi down to Naniamo yesterday. He's now at Age of Aquariums. He didn't really enjoy the trip much. First the traumatic catch..he didn't do the net thing well so I took a tupperware bowl and managed to get him against the glass and then slid the lid down and then I put him in the Betta...

yeah just one that looks puffed up all the time. Only way you can REALLY tell is if you weigh the poor thing and that isn't a good idea.

I'll call mom and see if she still has a tank, even if it's just a temp 20 gal. See, We're getting a moving company..so it's unlikely we'll be there the same day as the stuff so taking him in the car with us would be really difficult (not to mention our 3yo little boy would be in the back seat) Ship...

The Dr Tims. And to be honest I don't even know if mom still has a tank or not :/

They don't have that in Canada

i read it earlier... what if you put the substrate in the uncycled tank, the filter, filter media, and original water... maybe your mom could take it then you wont have to give him up... hes gorgeous btw, how big is he? I'm on the West Coast of Canada...She's on the East Coast..we're moving to the ...
