The Puffer Forum

Guys! Have a really stupid question to ask. So please don't slam me!!! Do you know how to transfer a puffer to another tank? My local aquarist told me I need to have a bag and coax it in, so yeah, I'm kinda confused. Can't I just use a huge net? Sorry once again for the stupid question! Spare me the...

Thanks Corvus,

That helps alot! Another quick one! My puffer is a really messy eater and leaves all his food strewn across the gravel on the bottom. Any bottomfeeders I can keep with it? or is it not advisable? Thanks again!

Yup I saw it!

Thanks once again for all the help! He seems to be pretty happy where he is! Any idea if he should be kept in FW or SW though?

Thanks for the compliments! Yes it's mine. The circles on its back aren't outlined in orange. I don't know if it's a Takifugu ocellatus or a Banded Puffer. I'm really lost here. There are three big black spots, one on its dorsal fin and the other two on its sides as you can see in the picture. Howev...

Thanks for the help! (I've been trying to find out what this species is, but to no avail) P.S It's huge, about the lengt...
