The Puffer Forum

Hey guys so I have a fahaka who's just short of 3 years old, about 3-4 months ago he lost his top left tooth. I mentioned this to my LFS and they said that it should grow back. I started to worry about his top right tooth as it was getting bigger and he was having some trouble eating certain things,...

What about crickets?
I know people who feed crickets to their oscars and I have read that you can feed them to puffers too once in a blue moon...
Summer is coming and those guys love to invade my house and keep me up all night. Any thoughts on this or should I only feed the LFS ones?

The tank is 48"x18" and it has a 12" glass brace in the middle, glass is probably a better option come to think of it. I just don't like dealing with glass as its more fragile so I just gotta make sure I get one that's thick enough. I found those Versa-tops for $35 not bad compared to...

Just what I needed! The acrylic top looks awesome, easy, and inexpensive =)
My question is, will the lighting be ok with the acrylic? This is for a FW tank but the lights don't have legs, they would just sit on top of it...

This is the only video I've came across for a Fahaka in the wild.

I was so happy when he got away 8P

The Starry Nights are beautiful, I wanted to get one from a LSF but the guy was asking for +$40 for a 2 incher. Back then I would never pay over $20 for any fish and then I met Google, my fahaka =)

RiP buddy

Yes he will be getting an upgrade soon, he is only about 4 inches right now but I'm just waiting for a good deal on CL. I did do an water change and the ammonia level is down to 0, I'm going to look for the medication to soak his food in. I prefer to feed him ghost shrimp over feeder fish but the st...

Hey guys, I need some assistance here, I've had "Google" my fahaka for over 3 months and I started noticing some stringy poo and decided to research it. I came across Anabelles IP's post, I read just about all of it and even tho their behavior is different, the poop looks identical. I just...

Thank you guys for all your feedback, I actually decided not to go with that tank bc it was advertised as a 150 gallon tank but turns out it is only 110 gallons (craigslist go figure) and I don't want to upgrade the upgraded if you know what I mean... I'm actually looking at a 150 gallon tank and pr...

How does this 150 gallon tank sound for a fahaka?? It is 50in x 26in x 59in tall (with the base), the tank itself is probably at least 24in tall. Also I've seen some videos and pictures (above) of fahakas with some clean up mates, I know they are aggressive, but if willing to try what is the best wa...

Hey guys, I have a fahaka puffer "Google", it is just over 3 inches and I just purchased a used 110-120 gal. tank. I know that the tank comes with 2 filters (one on each end) but they look old and inappropriate. I believe it is one of those bottom filters where you place some trays below t...

thank you all for your comments, I have a 29gal and a 55 gal tank that I could house him in. I am moving at the end of the month so I got a few weeks to figure out which one to go with as I would have to rehome some fishies. I am not familiar with SG but I have been reading about it and prob. start ...

Hi all, I have a GSP "Puff Daddy" in a 55 gal. tank, it lives with about 7 cichlids and a pleco, he is the sweetest puffer, gets along with everyone and even eats their pellots aside from his krill and snails. I have had him for over 8 months and he is about 2 1/2 inches long and has a nic...
