The Puffer Forum

I'm not really limited by tank size at this point. I can easily play musical tanks with as many empties as I have sitting around now. I was hoping to put a dwarf in my new 5 gallon, but I might be reconsidering and just moving my betta into it. For larger tanks I have an empty 10g, 30g, and 55g. Pla...

I have considered an f8. Looking at my ruler and thinking of a 3in circular fish in size and dimensions of my tank I'm a little iffy on though. I'm a little more iffy on putting a tank with salt on my desk right above my computer. I am looking for a puffer with an interesting and interactive persona...

I got myself a new tank for Christmas this year and I'm going to try again to set up a puffer tank and hope it doesn't end up getting used for someone else's unwanted fish again before I can get my hands on one. I'm looking for either a dwarf or one of the red eye varieties (which one would depend o...

Thinking again though, even if that's what it is, the eyes are still definitely more red than blue majority of the time. I'm honestly completely confused on that. Even a google search turned up absolu...

My betta is on his last legs right now so I went to my local exotic pet store to see if they could special order any red eye puffers for me. I'll probably end up with one or two in a couple of weeks. It's been a long time since I've had any puffers and I'm excited. Last time I was there they had a b...

Wow, it looks like my thoughts on Irrubesco were wrong. I thought they were these extremely aggressive puffers that had to be housed single and were more interested in hiding. I guess you never know until you ask. I'm surprised to see so many people recommending Irrubescos and nothing else! Looks li...

Irrubescos aren't more into hiding than being out in the open and swimming around?

Previously I've had a single dwarf puffer before, but she wasn't very long lived. I did everything correctly, but decided to listen to my know it all mother on cycling rather than look up more information. My mistake and lesson learned. It might not be for another year or two, but I'm now wanting an...
