The Puffer Forum

I really like that F8 rock. Beautiful piece.

I'll try to get one later. Out of town for today.

Wow...sorry to hear about he Congo.

If you don't ind me asking, how many tanks do you have?

He's in a 30 gall. with a blue Damsel and about 40 lbs of live rock.

Cool puffer. One day....one day! lol

I found this place doing a Google search on some GSP info.

Thanks. I went to 4 LFS looking for some sharpnose puffers. They had a couple Valentini's, but she was the only spotted one there. At $25, I couldn't pass. Definitely, an interesting puffer.

It's a Congo puffer. Definitely one of the coolest fw puffers ever. Lol.

Sadly, I no longer have him. I took the tank apart and converted it to sw. I gave him to a buddy of mine who has a bigger tank for him to live in.

Hello,
I was just wondering if this was normal for a Spotted Puffer. Also, I'm not exactly sure what kind of puffer this is. It looks almost like a Spotted Sharpnose, but the colorings and markings are different. Any ideas on what it is?

Good to see another MD'er. lol I'm from Odenton.

I felt bad for them, because they were all in freshwater, versus the much-needed salt. Three out of the four puffers had very dark bellies. The f...

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try the mussel suggestion out. It seems like picky Congos seem to be a common subject.

Well, first the bad... Here's the tank for both situations: Set-up a year ago 25 Gallon w/ Sand substrate and plants Tetra 20-40 Filter Heater A couple weeks ago, I bought a Cochinensis/Abei (still not even sure) http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=18448 and brought it home....

Hey All, I actually went out and bought a new camera (about time lol.) Here are some better pictures in much greater detail. http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/1882/1000075c.th.jpg http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/7958/1000070n.th.jpg http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/9774/1000069v.th.jpg http://img7...

Thanks alot for the help guys. I think you guys are right. I noticed that the leopard print covers it's entire body (just lighter on the top.) I still have to name the fish, but it looks like it is adjusting well. I can see why it may have been called a gecko puffer. It is resting on the sand, and t...
