My apologies if I sounded harsh. A little carried away.

I have to call shenanigans on this post, what if any is the point? There is never a reason to feed pellets to a puffer, large or small. They probably don't taste as good as real food, there is no such thing as a puffer designed pellet so probably nutritionally inadequate, feeding time is excitement...

Just last week i decided to try feeding my fahaka some hikari pellets but i had no hope that he would take a liking to them and have them added into his diet but i was very delighted to find out otherwise. :D I got my fahaka to eat pellets on Day 2. Day 1: he took a bite and didnt seem interested at...

I got mine during mid june, measuring 2-2.5 inches. Its exactly 3 and a half months now. He's exactly at 5.5 inches. So that makes 3 to 3.5 inches in 3 and a half mths. He's been growing short of at an inch/mth until recently he got into a growth spurt. Seem to grow half an inch in a week plus. He n...

thanks all. The fishes are all still pretty juvenile and so far aggression is at minimum. They get along pretty well and dont really pay attention to one another, even during feeding. The loaches pick off food at the fahaka's mouth even but im crossing my fingers and hope they dont get in between it...

Hi all, I am from Singapore and here is my 4'x2'x22"(H) set-up in my room. Housing my main fish(& obession) Fahaka puffer named 'pringles' and its tank mates. Pardon the poor quality pics, all taken from my Iphone 3GS. Comments, critique and suggestions welcomed. Tank filtration: 1 x Fluval...

my tank is full of java ferns, windelovs and anubias. nana. They are all great low-maintainence plants. I've managed to house my fahaka with small fishes like danios, Siamese algae eaters and a couple of minnows. I dare not try any large fish or anything that i think might be an easy target (corydor...

Hi Hilly, thanks for advice. I forgot to add that it's a 2nd hand tank that i bought from a guy that advertised his tank online. He seem really nice, sincere and polite until 'this' happened. I don't know any way to take legal action against him or whatsoever. I only have his name,email and cellphon...

Ok i've just checked. It's leaking again. I've used a tremendous amount of silicon already... What should i do?!?! Please help me!

Hi guys, i'm gonna give a little update on my tank. I'm so dismayed that the tank has been damaged during the moving. The seller got a couple of guys to help transport and move the tank into my room. The tank has this water inlet/outlet valve as the bottom corner for ease of water change. Ok, so her...

I've decided to take the 4x2x2 120gal tank anyhow. I'm gonna try to get it into my house through the corridor window. It's gonna be tough as the tank is 12mm thick, i'm cynical about bringing it through the window. Wish me luck!

Sorry! I forgot to add that my gate would not be able to fit a 4ftx2ftx2ft tank but it will fit a 4ftx1.5ftx2ft tank!

Hi guys, i've a problem. I was about to get a 4ft x2ft x2ft 120 gallon tank for my 4" Fahaka puffer but just realized that the other half of my door gate could not be ledge open. I tried all ways to get it open, some thick iron rod beneath it got stuck in concrete floor. The small gap between t...

Thanks for the advice. Emo's doing well now. He looks perfectly healthy and his appetite has gotten better! I'm really delighted at how things have turned out for emo and myself in just one day.

Well thanks again for the advice and concern! Will post up a picture of him soon!
