The Puffer Forum

if the crab is smaller or same sized than puffers mouth, no problem, you will have a interesting battle.
PD: don´t feed puffs with wild caught live food.

i keep them for along (when babies) but need to feed the gobbies firts, then the puffers.
I alse needed to divide the bottom area with many natural divisions, like rocks, driftwood, moss...

At the end i made 2 tanks, one for gobbies species and other for puffers.

Double post

His tank looks great! ¿do you have a panoramic pic?

Animals do understand their environment, they know exactly what happens but they see it with their very particular & incomprehensible way, not in the way of we perceive...

I see a very aggressive profile for this fish, i will go for the pair, i dont want to risk another gal... tank size is 85(Large)X40(high)X50(width), fully planted i calculate 150lt.

PP how you know that gal is healthy? is there some color indicator like in the gsp? I had an empty 150 liter tank, do you think i could fit them there? there is a lot of natural FW plants coming next monday to my farm, i think i could make a dense planted tank for these guys if you think it could wo...

Irrubesco juveniles are quite similar, wait, almost indistinguishable. At that size, red tailed males are already e...

Really? i didn't knew the size also affected on the ID This fish is at 5 cm (2")... at least we are sure about it being a C. Irrubesco...
It is also hard to tell apart irrubesco and lorteti female.

Hi there! im about to start an ampliation for my fish room, and i see some Carinotetraodon species that i dont recognize... ¿Can you help me do ID it? This is the guy: http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/307072_323558791061161_1041651864_n.jpg i believe it is a Irrubesco female but no so ...

Breathing air (other words to say not "passing water through their gills")

Umm lucky turtle!

Probably the puffer was already drowned

Thanks folks! he also appreciates the compliment.

Ill make the video! he is a skilled snail-eater!... Lets see how he and the gsp behave together, if i see any kind of agression i will move him to his own tank

Has a cute face ñ_ñ

Last day of quarantine, he is now in the 50gal with the 2 young GSP (while i decide to set up an spheroides tank). Here are the pics so you can help me with the ID (i believe is a Sphoeroides rosenblatti). Face view: http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll130/villvice/SpheroidesRosenblattiSide.jpg Sid...
