The Puffer Forum

On either side, near his tail, he should have a spot. Is it red or black? I don't know as I haven't seen him in real life yet. My friend is getting him from a friend of hers. He finally emailed her back and this is what he said: "I bought him listed as a red eye puffer, but from what I've seen...

I'm not sure what kind of puffer is a turgidus, but I think the puffer in the pictures is a Green Spotted puffer. I say this because in your first post, FishyFriend, you mentioned that the description said something about them being freshwater but they are actually brackish/marine water fish and th...

Yeah, you're telling me, hence my coming to the forum asking for help, lol! I wish I could go see the fish before hand and then I'd know for sure! I appreciate your input, I hadn't even thought of the Turgidus puffer, but that looks most likely... Thanks, and if anybody has any additional info or ot...

My friend has been offered a free puffer by a guy she knows, and she has no experience with them, but knows that I love them. BUT, I want to know what I'm getting myself into first! All I have to go on is a very brief description and 2 bad photos. I am including the photos. Here is the description: ...

I am starting a Dwarf Puffer tank as well.... what type of substrate do they prefer? Sand, pea gravel, larger stones? I am getting a lot of plants for it. I have a friend that may sell me a 15 gallon hex tank that has a footprint of about 12" across but is taller than it is wide... would that w...

Why no Python? At least be assured--I have been filling my tank with a hose (temp adjusted) for 30+ years, by adding the dechlor directly into the tank before filling. So that works? I've often wondered about doing that, but have been scared to try... I once lost a fish to chlorinated water- my ple...

I guess it's good cause I haven't had problems as of yet. It is built to fit inside the biocube tanks, but you can use the suction cups to put on any appropriately sized tank

What do you think of the Oceanic Biocube Protein Skimmer for a 29 gal. sw tank? It has 2 maroon clowns, snails and hermit crabs... I also have a hob filter (Whisper EX 45) and an overflow box that goes to the refugium... Is this enough?... My tank stays pretty clean, but I do have a bit of red algae...

Wow, I guess the marine conditions really are great for them... I look forward to transitioning them soon! gradually of course...

My two GSPs are Jack and Milton. I don't know where the name Milton came from, I just looked at him "talking" to me through the glass and the name sort of fit!

This is me right after getting off work:

I'm all excited to be getting online to chat on forums!

Thanks! I tried to make clear "sides" of the tank with lots of visual barriers. But for the first hour or two they "danced" around each other, they didn't seem aggressive or anything... just checking each other out... So I fed them together and they were very respectful of each o...

I thought about Jill too... idk, gotta check out his/her temperament first! Maybe Rowdy or Chevy, cause he's pretty active!

Well, the lady brought over the second GSP and so far so good! They seem to be doing well together... http://i37.tinypic.com/a11d38.jpg http://i33.tinypic.com/2q0ojr8.jpg http://i37.tinypic.com/23rjtdl.jpg http://i37.tinypic.com/68ztrb.jpg The darker one is Jack and the other is new so he doesn't ha...
