The Puffer Forum

Well +1 to PP... Clyde is now in the snail tank. I threw up the 10 with cycled media but wanted to wait a few days to make sure the tank was stable before moving one of the puffs into it. All was good this morning, but after coming back from an hour trip to get groceries.... Bonnie has been F-d up. ...

Pufferjw- I spoke to Steve and he said he would try to get more. He will let me know, but if you want to get it touch with him yourself feel free- it might help motivate him more if he actually sees people want them and not just taking my word for it. His personal number is on his website, tell him...

Gkai- that’s crazy, as I got the same impression. Bornessis and Salivator are never seen, anywhere anymore. The lorteti used to be more common, but even in their available days the irrubesco were much more attainable. I think Lorteti will be the next puffers I try for, I almost got a male off this v...

Pufferjw- I paid 40$ a fish through eBay, though he was charging 20$ (on sale from 25$) on his site. I must say, Steve was incredible at Exotic Fish shop... he really took care of me. The fish were very well packaged and showed up bearing little stress coloration. The shipping was fast, I would defi...

PP, surlaW and I know you’re right. The male got a fat red line down his belly and showed his keels (looks like a cool Mohawk) and that has me worried already, bc I know that means aggression or mating behavior and either way... I can’t have my rescue Honey getting caught in the middle. Damn it, now...

Thank you, I appreciate it. All the people in my life who aren’t fishkeepers don’t get it. Even my man who has been pretty supportive through this all says “Holy crap hun those are little farts! They’re not much bigger then Honey (my DP). Lotsa hoopla for two fish smaller then quarters...” but I fee...

Though I think the female may be a lorteti... when she’s released and colors up I will know for sure!

Thanks PP. well I ended up only with 2.. he said one had deformed gills (not from aggression he says as he doesn’t house any puffs together). God certainly took pitty on me bc I got a male and female. So I’m happy with just two, they’re floating for temp match as we speak!

He’s got torn up fins and aggression marks all over, and having not seen the other 2- my bet is this is the best looking and healthiest of the 3. I plan on having a MB bath waiting for them upon arrival, with wondershells and StressGuard in tank. This will be my first shipped puffers, any good advic...

I have a well planted 29g I was going to try them in. I also have two spanking new 10g in my closet, for temp holding in case I need to separate anyone (I have cycled media waiting in case the need to throw one or both up arises). I knew 3 was likely a bad idea, all males none the less... but tbh, I...

I think I know who the 125$ Seller is, good stock and good guy. PP- are you talking about Wes?

I would really like to know who this seller is. Just to be aware, and PP says let it fly.. Have you treated for IPs yet? Even if my own mother promised me she did I wouldn’t even trust her word, I always double treat for parasites, bc these places are SO busy, and to us: this is OUR babies, to them ...
