The Puffer Forum

I picked up some frozen bloodworms and both the flounder and the bumblebee gobies both seem to enjoy those a lot more. that is if any get down to them . I just had to put a lot in to make sure they got some but they really went after them compared to rehydrated.

Well I have had the flounder over a week now and I am still impressed with him. He does spend a lot of time hiding in the sand. When he comes out from hiding in black sand he is a very dark grey color. After a while of sticking to the sides he seems to almost go white. I have never seen him eat thou...

Well I just brought home my freshwater flounder! He is about an 1 1/2". He seems to be doing well. I have already got to seem him bury himself so all I could see was the sand moving. He also has been sticking to the side of the tank. When we got him he was almost pure white, now that he has had...

Well I checked out the gold ring puffer. Upon examination it looks to be either a banded puffer or a South American Puffer. Due to the size and if I can trust the store it should only be relatively the same size as a figure 8. With that info I am 90% sure it is a SAP. I wasn't abale to get a picture...

From what I have read I do not believe the flounder will be any threat to a puffer. It warns they may eat small fish like neons and such. As long as I don't get an incredibly tiny F8P I think he will be too big to mess with. I am more worried that the F8P will take a chunk out of the Freshawater flo...

Well I plan to go and take a look next week. I will try to get some pictures of it with my camera phone. That way if it doesn't fit maybe we can get somone to id it properly. I was going to go anyways and check the store out apparently they have Bumblebee gobies and Freshwater flounders. Both where ...

Has anyone heard of a Gold Ring puffer? I was e-mailing a LFS about Figure 8 puffers. They said they where all out of F8P but that they had Gold ring puffers and peewee puffers. I assume that the peewee puffers are dwarf puffers. I have no clue what they could have meant by Gold Ring Puffers. I have...

I just found out the same store has Bumblebee Gobies. This will be great I will get a few BBG and a Flounder and get them good and use to the tank. Then maybe the store will get some Figure 8 puffers. Then my tank will be complete mwahahaha

I just found a lfs that has freshwater flounders for sale. http://www.aquariumfish.net/images_01/flounder.jpg I am so excited. I don't like the idea of of buying fish online. I prefer to be able to look at the fish and see how they are doing and acting. Not that you can get too good of a picture whi...

I wouldn't try them in marine they have similar water requirments to Bumble bee Gobies so light brackish conditions

Freshwater flounders are a brackish fish that usually spends time buried in sand and ambush it's food. The research I have done say you can have one per 15 gallons. They also sometimes cling to the sides of the tank even though they aren't algae eaters same kind of mouth shape though. They have a fl...

I have my 30 gallon brackish tank setup and cycled fully. The tank is half black sand and half gravel with a a gravel hill built up in the back corner. I have a few natural rock caves buil on the gravel side as well as a barnacle cluster on the sand side. I also have a few artificial plants to break...
