The Puffer Forum

Ill get a pic tonight, tank was cycled naturally with live rock. He was wild caught by myself in a net and is 1.025.

His a marine puffer.

Cheers, does anyone know if it normal for the pufferfish to swim up and down the glass crazily? It only stops this when I give it food. It never does anything else which is quite annoying. I have had him now for three days and was wild caught.

Thanks mate appreciate it. So its scientific name is contusus brevicaudus?

Did all these fish and corals survive the cycle?

lol yeah.

I want to see what corvus thinks about the one in the vid.

I had a look at the links, it looks more like the one in the vid than the links.

Cheers for the quick replies, do you need me to take a front face pic.

here is a vid of one caught which it looks like a pufferfish more than a species of toadfish?
