The Puffer Forum

My Porcupine never ever bothers with any of my other fish, Damsels included...

He has been named Google...as thats where I found him looking for a home

OMG he is stunning, i love the Mbu`s....just dont have the tank space

Picked up a 9 inch Porcupine Puffer today from a guy who no longer wanted him. He is gorgeous and absolutely full of him self..!!!!
He has no name though, he was "just a fish" to them , though he has been well loved and cared for

Well my Porcupine Puffer will arrive next Wednesday if all goes well

Thanks for the replies, I guess I will give it a go and see how we get on with them. the guy at the fish store is great and has said that he will take the Lionfish back if it doesnt work out. My tank is almost ready to introduce the puffer now so Im soooooooooooooooo excited..!!!!

they are both absolutely gorgeous but oh boy...the Panda is STUNNING

Have just sold my 60g tank to my Mum and am now looking for a 120g tank to set up for my Porcupine Puffer

Obviously the tank will be cycled before the Puffer is introduced, the guy at the store said it will take approx 3 weeks to do this if all goes well. The extra filter is actually an external filter to overfiltrate the tank as Puffers are messy eaters. The guy said this is, along with regular water c...

After lots of debate and discussions with various Puffer People I have decided to strip my tank down and restart it as a marine tank for a Porcupine Puffer..!!!! Spoke to an EXTREMELY helpful and knowledgeable guy at our local fish retailer and he has talked me through it all. Im going next week to ...

So if I was to get a baby Fahaka Puffer and keep him in a smaller tank til he grows a bit would that be ok..?? I appreciate that they grow quickly and I would happily buy him a bigger tank as he gets bigger.

Thanks, thats very helpful...though could somebody please tell me what those sizes would be in feet and inches, as in the actual dimensions of the tank needed please..?? Also what does WC mean please..??


BTW, thats one FUNKY set up that gorgeous Filbert has..!!!!!
