The Puffer Forum

I always heard that they we're only peaceful w/ different fish and that they were aggressive w/ conspifics. Has any one every kept 2 mbu together?

until they ripped each other to shredds and you were left w/ one GIANT, mbu, lol.

Newfoundland Canada... Not many pet enthusiasts around here, I'm afraid. I'll keep my eye out for any opportunities to get them. I'll have a look PufferPunk, but snails are definately the best in my opinion. I think small mussels should do for the time being though. Hey, My boss is a newfie, lol. d...

I suggest you hunt hunt hunt until you find some and then start breeding them. I'm sure an aquariust in the area somewhere already has a colony living in one of their tanks. What Island are you on if I may ask?

how big is he. Have you tried live cray fish that you get from the grocery store?

partially depends on the size of your tank and what youyr keeping. When I kept large sa/ca cichlids I had anout 2-3 inches in the bottom. for puffers, I'm not sure. for right now Istill have the same gravel but will be looking to go w/ sand sooner or later.

We can do this.........

I've seen it done before in videos, but I personally wouldn't recomend it w/o a big tank.

you could try crab legs, she would have no choice but to crunch through the shell to get to the meat.

Ahhhh, I've been here before. Pre prepare all of her food in advance (try market shrimp and just cut it up into portion sizes and put it in a freezer container.) Tell her how much to feed and when. Do a large water change before you go and you should be good. It's what I had to do for my wife when I...

I live in houston, Tx and I've read where people have pulled large plecs out of the tidal marshs in near Galveston Bay. I have no clue how long they were there, but if they had been living there for some time then it shows that they are at least some what capeable of adapting to various degrees of s...

keep it to a minimum and you should be okay. it is mostly water

I've been told (keep in mind I said told, not actually tried) that common plecs can survive in mildly brackish waters.

I keep a bunch of convict cichlid fry in the tank with my fahaka. yeah, she chomps one in half every now and then, but they were given to me for free for that purpose. Nick sounds right, most owners prob just accept that they will lose some tank mates.
