The Puffer Forum

I think I am going for this Monotrete Cochinchinensis.

Let me know what you think, he seems to have everything I want in a puffer!

Gosh I'm sorry :( I know how it is answering repetitive questions. Like all college kids I am about to make an excuse: "I was doing a lab report and I was banking on a quick answer from one of you educated puffer people :)" (true story) BUT, I will check out the library like a well behaved...

Hi guys, So I am thinking of what "puffer food" I could raise myself. I have a spare 20gal that I could throw some snails in. what type of snails would you guys do? Would you do live shrimp? I know its according to the puffer if it eats shrimp or not, but I CAN'T decide on a puffer :( I at...

Hello all, Hope you guys do not get discouraged with me. I promise I have read every FW and BW puffer profile in the pufferpedia, but I need to find a puffer that is right for me and I can't do that with puffer profiles alone :( All of you "Ambush puffer" keepers, what are some of your fav...

Thank you for all of your responses, lol kilo fey I still have a lot to learn. I am becoming really interested in puffers, they are very unique in their needs and I like researching something I don't know much about. My new saltwater setup is going to be a SOWLR (shrimp only with live rock) lol. I a...

Guess I am going with DPs. How many would you do in the 36x18x12?

If I don't like them I can just flush them down the toilet like I do most of my other fish........JK!!!!!

I am stuck between wanting a bigger puffer, but also wanting plenty of room for them. With only 30gal most of the larger puffers would only be content from what I have read. The DP on the other hand seem like they would be happy with the large footprint. I love my Tangs so I don't want to give up an...

haha yeah, I like this forum already. You guys are blunt and you ask a ton of questions. Right now there is only one julie transcriptus, but I am going to pull a large sponge filter off the 112 gallon tank. The large sponge should handle the extra bio load until the canister catches up, unless I am ...

Also the tank is already cycled. Running an eheim 22 uh forget the second number. Its rated up to 65 gallons.

Oops, I should have included preferences. I am looking for an active "hunter". I was first interested in the GSP, but I am starting a salt tank soon and I am not ready to deal with two high maintenance tanks. I don't mean puffers are not high maintenance, but what is a water change with a ...

Hello, I have a 30gallon breeder and I think I want to try my first puffer. The tank is 36x18x12. I have been keeping Tanganyika cichlids for a year and other fish for about three so I am experienced in fish keeping. Could you suggest a freshwater puffer? I am worried that the DP are too small to be...
