The Puffer Forum

There are quite a few fish stores in the erie area but if you are looking for saltwater puffers. The "Sea Cave" on eries lower east side almost always has porks and dogface puffs for sale and I have never seen one that appeared to be sick there. They also usualy have f8 and gsp's that seem...

Hey guys I just got back from this little fish store in NY that I go to when ever im out that way. They tend to have very unusual fish from time to time and today they had a Tetraodon palembangensis for sale! This is the first time I have ever seen one and it was labeled "pignose puffer". ...

Hey guys.. Just decided due to lack of room in my other tanks, put my new fangs puffer in with my two gsp's. I have been watching them closely to make sure they would get along and to my suprise.. The baby gsp picks on the fangs puff! I was wondering if anyone has any experences? the tank is fresh w...

thanks!! your def right its a fugu puffer.. Now I have to call my local pet shops to see who would like it. I cant handle full salt tanks in my apt. I hope the other works out, but thanks a whole lot. Hopefully I can get it into a good home quickly

I think the one that I dont have pics of is a fangs puffer.. looks just like the pics on here. The other one in the pic above is the one I really need to figure out.. It is the fastest fish I think I have ever seen!! moves around very quick when hes out, but otherwise likes to hide.. Other then that...

Hi folks I just got home from a vacation where I found this amazing fish store, Long story short I ended up bringing home two new puffs that I have never heard of. They were both being held in ten gal. tanks (fresh water). Right now I have them both in my 29 gal holding tank until I figure what tank...

one more thing.. all of them get darker bellies when the lights are off but within a few minutes of the lights being on they go back to almost all white?? Is this normal??

thank everyone!! they have all been together for months.. and the pleco seems happy, i dont understand it but since i started raising the sg he (pleco) got alot bigger an d doesnt seem bothered by it. I had to work both of my jobs the last few days so I didnt make it to the store to test my water.. ...

it was an older heater that came with the tank.. I got it used a couple months ago.. I never really trusted the type that hung from the top of the tank but the guy a got it from said it worked great.. oh well.. I didnt have the oscar very long so I wasnt very attached to him but it really sucked abo...

this has been a bad week for me and my tanks.. first the heater crashed on my barbs tank and cooked all of them!! then the tank I was keeping my oscar in started leaking so I moved him into the tank with my arrowhead with a devider ( cause I had to run to get to work) but when I got home the oscar m...
