The Puffer Forum

I just set up my 120 gallon for my fahaka, and I put a bunch of plants in there. I spent around 75 dollars in live plants... the tank looked so awesome and "natural" but my fahaka, I don't know if this is true for the whole species, eats or nips off the plant leaves VERY often... I thought...

Toyin, I was never trying to jump sides. Yes, I may have been Naive and read posts and believed them. But respectfully, I apologize for "assuming" you doing wrong. I never intended to call you out or doubt your abilities as an aquatic specialist. I have never purchased any fish from you, n...

I remember sending you several emails, and receiving no answers numerous times. I respect you as a person who is knowledgeable with fish but respectfully I have "heard" several stories about pustulatus being sold and ending up to be fahakas. yes, I have seen Pustulatus, but some people hav...

Sorry for taking forever, school is still taking its toll on me. Well heres an update... My male was killed about 3 days ago by the female. I have no clue why it just decided to kill it but it may have been because of their spawning activity? Any ideas?

No links just personal stories from some of the most well known fish breeders in the US. A lot people tend to not like toyin. And when i was trying to purchase my congo from him he was very rude about a lot of things. I personally don't like the guy but hey, if he has Congos and it's cheaper for som...

Yeah when it comes to congos... but he is now selling fahakas as pustulatus puffers and making large amounts of money for fish that should be no where near that price.

People recently have been accusing toyin of selling fish as different species. If you want a congo my fish store has 3. little ones 50 bucks, and the big one is around 70 or so.

I'll have to post that within the next few days.. I've been super busy with midterms and school related stuff. But i will keep everyone updated on the conditions and the way they act etc.! i just wish i coulda got a picture before the male ate them

the water conditions have to be relatively neutral i did a water change that night and added some salt and bam eggs the next morning... hey didnt last long but i am patiently waiting the next batch!

Finally, after all the speculation of whether these were males, females etc. I got a batch of eggs laid in my fluviatilis tank. Unfortunately the male swooped down in the tank... and of course gobbled all the eggs up. A friend of mine said i can expect the female to lay in another 20 days or so. Whi...

I really liked those articles... like i said, this could take a while but it's something i really want to do in the future :]

Oh i do plenty.. I've had multiple fahaka puffers in my tanks at home. ranging from 4 inches to 15... I've observed there aggression and determination for "blood" lol. As for now it's all in the works. I am well aware of all the negatives that could happen in this. I mean it would be cool ...

Well obviously the water wouldn't reach above the divider and there would be a sufficient space from the water to the top of the divider also... the dividers would be permanently adhered to the "pond" making it almost.... almost impossible to breakthrough.

Lately I have been pondering the idea of trying to breed this aggressive puffer. My plan isn't quite yet full proof and there's a chance i may not even get to it within the next year, but i do know the idea could very likely work if anyone has the time, money etc. to carry it out. First off you must...

well obviously somehow it's got to happen, because these fish are still around. But i will go post on the other topic you provided that way the discussion about it doesn't have to conflict with the Congo pages haha :] Or I'll create a new topic because i think that topic was locked?
