The Puffer Forum

Update: I found another picture of what seems to be the same species on the same website: http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn310/GotToads/pufferid-1.jpg Ithink you are right in saying it is Arothron immaculatus: http://www.wildsingapore.com.sg/wildfilms/blog/2007/02/sisters-island-with-dr-dan.html...

tss...thanks!!!

Have any large general store that sells clothes, electronics, household items, furniture, music, dvds, dry goods and select foods and so forth. That is a Wal-Mart, K-Mart or Target here. Wal-Mart and target go crazy and offer full grocery stores in some locations and I guess Wal-Mart goes even furt...

I found this picture on a blog, http://tidechaser.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html and I don't know what it is. According to the blog, it was caught at Pulau Ubin, Chek Jawa, Singapore in marine water. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn310/GotToads/puffer.jpg I have no idea what it is. Checke...

Walmart sells everything man...I know its creepy ( I wouldnt buy pets from them). But in so many places Walmart is the only store for most things. I grew up in an area that blocked Wal-Mart and now have no desire to visit one though. So my actual experience is limited having not been in one but I l...

Here's another set of pics in a photographic tank. Make them smaller, particularly the last one, the resolution will be better then. I haven't taken any photos of Merrell, he/she is a bit under the weather with stress at the moment. Codger: http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn310/GotToads/IMG_1937-...

Um... great shots but pics of your puffers held out of the water is... how can I put this... not puffer-politically correct. It is possible for them to swallow air which can lead to their demise if not properly burped. I know how much more difficult shots of them in the water are but I just can't p...

Just edited in the distribution, just realised I forgot to put that in.

oh, right, gonna post! I'll post 'em here.

My last attempt at a T.hamiltoni caresheet kinda flopped, I didn't know as much about the species as I thought. Anyway, I'm going to have another go with more info and verified stuff: Tetractenos hamiltoni Common Names: Toadfish, Toado Family: Tetraodontidae Distribution: Eastern Australia; Northern...

This is very typical of Tetractenos species. I have seen them in the wild looking after their young, They lose their schooling behaviour at that time.

Nice looking puffer
Do you think they are schooling because they are still young and are hanging around their parents still?

If they are about 2 cms (a bit less than an inch) in length then they are probably still under their parents' protection.
