The Puffer Forum

help - i have a VERY constipated stars and stripes puffer who every now and again is greedy and bungs himself up - but this time it seems worse. hes cant swim properly and has wedged himself in a rock, he looks so uphappy and nothing seems to have improved. i have some epsom salts , so can give him ...

weve always wanted a tank the size of our dining room wall ..... so maybe now we have an excuse!!! heh heh

360l bow front, hes about 3" at the mo

eeeek ...... hes going to get a big boy then!!!!

what do you think he is?

Yup A Reticularis just like the logo fish Star. They will be a greenish grey color when younger and turn to more gold when older ( at least Star did) http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/ug.php/v/PufferPedia/Marine/A_Reticularis/4a7a7459_1_.jpg.html They get huge I know the Puffer Pedia say's min. o...

i think so, even when our old puffer (S&S) was small he still had loads of stars!? and mine is ALWAYS that grey blotchy colour, not with his mood
maybe he is a hybrid?

my puffer pics!!! see the blotchy skin (its always this colour too - my old puffer used to change with what mood he was in) , and lack of spots? .... and no yellow fins? http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs431.snc4/47411_468378762473_654202473_6522284_1750931_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn....

ahhh ha

forgot i had some scallops in ....

he loves them

My new puffer isnt as good as eating as any of my other puffers have had b4? He comes out to eat, even begs but dont "eat" he will suck the food into his mouth then spit it out. He eats a little but seems to spend more time spitting it out. weve tried mysis, prawns, brine, shrimp, lance fi...

cool - hes very nice

I found it on ultimate reef forum , under Puffer ID - and he was down as unkown...... so i got nosey lol

heh heh, on closer look i think hes more like a mini stars n stripes ........ but with not very clear spots/stars. he is ugly .......but cheeky hehe. Thats why i like him! Other old puffer was a true Hawiain S&S with nice yellow fins, but this guy is a bit boring colours. Picks to follow after QT

stole it from another forum - they called him unidentified......... but i really wanna know what he is!!
