The Puffer Forum

I will try to get some pics, but now that Lorca has perked up they are both really hard to photograph as they are so fast! I'm amazed how much she (or he) has improved, she was very dark just a few days ago and looking tiny in comparison to Lennie, but now she has a nice round white belly and is ver...

Hehe, that's sweet, I guess we're both suckers for the underdog...or undercat, underrabbit etc

Oh, you have no idea, we're the kind of people who would get meat from the supermarket just for the stray cat that hung around our garden (who eventually moved in hehe). We're the same with the fish, we love 'em

Yeah we give them all their food raw, we even got the local supermarket to give us an octopus leg, but the puffers weren't too interested hehe at least we tried

For some reason my puffers dislike bloodworms!? Weirdos heh. We are trying to give them as varied a diet as possible, we're getting some shrimpy things off my sister's boyfriend this afternoon, so that's another new dish on the menu. Oh and I need to go snail hunting later, the only snails i could f...

Haha yeah they love the woodlice, I'm not too sure I can deal with feeding them live things but I'll just block it out
They are pretty small right now, but we want our babies to be happy and grow big, so a big ol' 60g tank it is hehe.

Yeah we have the marine salt so we'll start raising the SG, got a hydrometer too so we can measure, thanks for the info on the size, i'll start researching them and see what i can find

Oh, and thanks for the welcome I have been reading everything on here this week and I must say that I've found all the info really helpful!

i'm not entirely sure, to be honest, i was gonna ask how big the new one should be, so that we can get one that will fit them when they are full grown? We're gonna get that next week, as we realise it's a case of sooner rather than later that we need to move them up!

Hehe, the only problem now is that our cats are jealous that they aren't the centre of attention anymore

Hi all, New to forum, but we have two wee GSPs (Lenny and Lorca) which we got on sunday (mother's day present for my mum off me, my sis and her bloke, mum's always wanted pufferfish), we are absolutely mesmerised! I was worried as I hadn't seen Lorca eat since Monday, so we tootled off to get a test...
