The Puffer Forum

See PP's signature. U can change the water however often u wish. Just make sure the salinity and temp is the same. If they are not used to large volume change, do a few 50%-70%. imo dun have to wait a few days in between. I usually do at least 90% on my puffer tank with no ill effect. Mine's easier ...

Looks like a borneo I had some time ago. Eyes looked the same as mine so I think that's normal. They are very aggressive though.

Thanks Corvus. I can never understand why in the world would they want to eat them.. I mean there are so many things out there that are tasty but those people choose to get kicks out from them. I saw culinary show and they cost upwards of $1k for a fish..

Going SW will be took much work for me... Ha... At least not at the moment..

So it's a SW... Having a hard time looking for something to take birdy's place...

Hi! It's labelled as China Puffer Fish at my Lfs.. And here, we are notorious for wrongly labelled puffer. Looks like a fugu to me. The 1st pic is lifted of a website where they raise puffer for consumption.. "idiots"..... They are raised in a FW environment. Is it truly FW?

I paid him a visit last Wed. He seems to be doing OK. Just started to eat though.. Can't wait for him to go to his final home.

3in and over a year old is a very very slow & odd growth rate. But some time ago there was a member that have one that was also growing very slowly in the previous own's care though..

Thanks for all the encouragements. Watching him being released into his final home will be difficult. But will definitely pay him a visit 2 weeks later in his QT. When he is at the SEA Aquarium, for sure I will be bringing my whole family along. I am so excited with just the thought of it. Some of t...

Well... hes gone now.. :( On the bring side, I still can visit him anytime during his QT. Last pic of him with me.. as u can see he is too large for me and my tank.. last.jpg Him in the holding tank to the truck.. Even at this moment I am still hesitating... holding.jpg I had to shutdown my sump.. a...

So... It's really happening. They are coming tmr to collect Birdy..

Ha.. I highly doubt so.. But I did requested for a free trip for my family though.

OMG! That aquarium is AMAZING! Scpion, can you write to the aquarium to see if they will adopt ME? :lol: Lol.. That place is kinda nice, many amazing stuffs. I think it's one of the largest in the world. So I am kind of surprised that they replied and agree to take him in. The only part I dun like ...

IDK.. I will probably skip largish fish for the time being.

Just for info. The Aquarium is rather large. Honestly I am pretty happy they are willing to adopt him. Yes, I am able to visit him.. It just a matter of whether I can find him in there..
