The Puffer Forum

When my stars and stripes was a tiny baby, when we first put him into the tank he used to close his eyes when the other fish approached him because he was nervous, it was so cute, i think he thought he was invisible when he couldn't see them

He's about 8inches in length but almost the size of a football when inflated :D I have a smaller dog-face in with him, and the other fish is a rabbit fish, my stars and stripes is in my main tank as hes too big to be in with this guy (bigger tank in order me thinks :lol: again!) The rabbit fish is h...

Hes a arothron meleagris, he spends most the day behind the rocks, and at about 6pm give or take a few minutes he comes out and puffs up, almost like hes stretching, and then begins to dance to try and get my attention for food

This fella puffs up at exactly the same time everyday, when he wakes up from a days snoozing ready for lunch time

any excess stock are sold as pets yes, same as my other more exotic rodents. But there is always room here for them if they can't find a home and that's most important when breeding, if your not prepared to be lumbered with them then they shouldn't be bred to prevent unwanted animals, same as anythi...

Thank you

No no these little cuties are not for food! despite owning a couple dozen snakes myself, these little guys are far too precious to become lunch for anyone!

Thank you very much for your reply, they sound wonderful. I only have experience with marine puffers, i have 4 of them and love them to bits. I was at my LFS yesterday admiring the puffers in there and i suddenly remembered the dwarfs i used to work with, they were wonderful as i remember but lookin...

Thats great, though i understand you shouldn't keep more than one male per group.

My LFS says he can get them in, but they will be tiny babies only about 1cm in size, can you tell their sex at this age or only as adults?

Thank you i shall have a read through that!

The tank i think is about 17 UK gallons, which i believe is about 20 US gallons

Hey, I'm considering getting one or a couple of freshwater puffers, however i don't really know anything about them! so some insight would be highly appreciated, few of my questions are below, any more info will be a big help. 1.) Are there any true freshwater dwarf puffers or do they all eventually...

you can sex it!
looks like it's easy...

You can sex an adult easy, Juveniles very difficult, babies practically impossible i'm afraid.

Awww how cute!! The harvest mice are just so adorable even as adults. Do they differ much from your average pet mouse? Apart from being a fraction of the size of a fancy mouse, their breeding habits are very different, however big your colony is, its only the dominant male and female that will bree...

These are adults and about an inch in size excluding tail. I have them simply because i like them! i keep many rodents including exotic species, i know these are native to our country, but are not a common sight and are just too darn cute. They are captive bred specimens not wild caught if that's wh...

Thought i'd sho wyou my Harvest meeces :) One of my females has a cataract in one eye but it doesn't seem to bother her. http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac268/felix5889/P3268432.jpg http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac268/felix5889/P3268436.jpg http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac268/felix5889/...

These are my 3 leo geckos, i rehomed them last year due to financial issues :( they're lovely lizards, first 2 Fergie and Fezz were very tame when they were younger, but as they grew i decided to leave them to their own devices, i got Flick a year after and she joined them no problems at all, they a...
