Really, no superworms? That's good to know, thanks for the advice!

Good news, I fed him bloodworms last night, bloodworms this morning, then he ate a superworm tonight and he is back to full health. Yessss....

Ok Ok I found him! I had to completely disassemble the pump and he was sitting at the very bottom of the chamber. He does not look very good, he hasn't eaten in 5 days. He is still alive but dark and thin and just kind of sits at the bottom, I offered some blood worms and I didn't really see him eat...

I am well aware I need to upgrade him soon, like I said, he is only about 2 inches still, I have a fresh 125 waiting for him. When I say 'down to check on him' he is in my basement, couldn't be stolen. I dug up the ENTIRE substrate, even so, usually when I come down he comes right up to the glass, b...

It's that simple. Mine is still a baby, Fahaka. Went down to his tank 3 days ago and he is simply not there. It is a fully sealed/enclosed 29 Biocube. I dug up all the substrate to make sure that he didn't dig, checked the overflow, bioball area and pump area and he is just not in there. How can a f...

No but I found one for sale... http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://dereksreefshop.ca/store/images/pufferstarry.jpg&imgrefurl=http://dereksreefshop.ca/store/index.php%3FcPath%3D63_22_39%26osCsid%3D4868047dc833040d9c72bf6b42f21cc8&usg=__OZaLrRKAOXKCNA9djJZ2Q16pVxE=&h=359&w=50...

I have live plants and mine is selectively destructive ha ha. He only destroys a certain species of plant but will leave the others alone. Guess he just doesn't like how it looks.

Yeah. I also think he is too small for the live food, aside of like ghost shrimp and tiny little snails. The crawdad I tried was bigger than he was and the snails were quite large too. He attempted to kill the crawdad then kind of gave up, then i just bashed the crawdad with a hammer and threw in th...

I've not tried garlic and not live but f/t bloodworms.

My Puffer seems to be a little picky with his diet. I offer him a varied diet, have tried crawfish, shrimp, snails, krill and brine but it seems the only thing he really really eats is bloodworms. I mean I guess this is okay as long as he is eating but I would like his diet to be a bit more varied s...

From what I understand, nothing can really go with a Fahaka. However, I have been watching a lot of the youtube videos on them and notice numerous aquariums with Fahakas and community fish? I think if I would throw anything in with mine he would eat it or harass it to death. Some that caught my eye ...

Yeah, his name is Fahaka... Such a cool name they already come with! Fahaka the Fahaka puffer.

Thanks for the responses!

So I work at a tropical fish store (salt, fresh and reptiles) and I fell in love with a stars and stripes puffer we had in the store for a long while. I could shake the can of food from across the room and he would go nuts, he had true personality. Well, we sold him (it was a sad day) and we got a f...
