The Puffer Forum

I want one soooo bad! Unfortunately I think I might be divorced if I bring any more fish tanks homes. O.O It might be worth it...

Tell me stories about your congo puffer so I can get a vibe for them. I want to know everything about them! I checked the pufferpedia, but want more information.

Spot seems to really like crab. I gave it to him for the first time today and he went -crazy-, even after the meat was out of it he kept trying to eat the shell.

Like snails, krill, shellfish, and such? Everyday? I want to keep his beak filed down.

It was cycled before I added him. =) How long do you think he can stay in that tank?

Thank you so much! Very informative, thanks for taking the time.

Oh my! I recently got a Green Spotted Puffer and had no idea the amount of work that would be put into him! But, as I read here, once you name a fish you can't turn your back on them. =) Anyway, I have many questions! First of all, can my puffer stay in a ten gallon tank until I can get a thirty gal...
