The Puffer Forum

hello RTR :) Thank you for the tips, I have everything on hand with the exception of the silversides. Regarding the krill, do you find that the puffers prefer FD over the frozen/thawed? My other puffers are less interested in the FD and very interested in the thawed stuff, I have both varieties on h...

Hey Woland, I hope that everything has evened out for you. I know the feeling when you speak of mixed emotions...been going through similar here the past few weeks. BUT... (drumroll please!) ... the beautiful Palembang puffer arrived right on schedule yesterday (which happened to be my birthday, per...

LOL Woland! Thanks for the warning but now you have me thinking about what fun a person could have with a 180 gal. tank. LOL

BTW I've admired the pics (more than once) you posted of your Palembang, gorgeous fish and awesome photography!

Have a superb day!

Yay! Thank you RTR for the info! You made my day actually, as I was already contemplating how to break it to my husband that I am going to have to get yet another tank (and larger!). I currently have 12 tanks in use and have basically run out of room for more. :) I'm in the process of breaking down ...

Thank you everyone for the info and suggestions. I was getting the tank all ready for the C. lorteti pair which I expected to receive last week. I was later contacted by the seller and told they were out of stock. however, they had some 'wonderful looking' SAPs available now. I got excited, and orde...

hi Primus, I like the thought of keeping a few other fish in one tank. I still have a few dwarf bristlenoses, and a zigzag eel in that 55 gal. tank. I could move them if need be (and had figured on doing that if I get some puffers in there). But if I can find some SAPs for that tank, it would be nic...

Hi people, Bred, I actually talked to the LFS a month or longer ago about SAPs but they don't seem to have a source for them either. They rarely if ever have puffers of any kind. I'm in rural Idaho... there's not much to pick from around here. :roll: Pamela, LOL re: a dwarf theme park. Great mental ...

Thanks for the advice Bred! wow, 3-5 in one tank, that would be cool. By chance do you know of any reputable online sources to get this kind of puffer from?

Thanks again!

Hello! I have a beautiful, young (around 3") T. cutcutia in a 35 gal. tank, a T. cochinchinensis (approx. 2.5") in a 45 gal. tank, as well as 6 dwarf puffers in a 20 gal. I've been completely won over by the puffers, such personalities. :) I can't get over how much they watch me when I am ...
