The Puffer Forum

Yep, many kind of snails and river crabs, maybe some insects, but in aquarium keeping, PP gave you the answer.

PD: They also wil bite driftwood to trim them.

Marilyna pleurosticta? how to tell them appart? they are quite similar (at least for my eye).

I´ve got no more pictures of him, he was much more darker when he arrived (stress color is darker) this picture was taken 30 minutes after he was in the tank, a couple of days after, his skin was still green but spots were darker and solid, but all of them from the same color. Lets wait for the fina...

Wow, good pics man! At least both selections will work, one in diffuse conditions and other in excellent view, except my M.leiurus ID, i was totally lost with it, thanks for clearing my thought on it... but now I see what you mean: Irregular spots pattern, no head texture and larger mandibles in tha...

+1 to above comments, i also think it will be better to do a single 30-40% WC per week instead of two 15%.

Good puffa! i may be wrong but it looks more like a M. turgidus.

feeding snails with veggies sounds good, wich ones you use?

Ok, undestood, i´ll take the risk with that report, anyway, with or without photography it will be a good document to own. So, lets say i get the Monotrete ID ok: M. abei: http://www.kugelfischwelt.de/bilder/joomgallery/img_originals/monotrete_abei_9/p1010084_20090726_2017806528.jpg M. baileyi: http...

Ok! thanks corvus. No problem with Monotrete leiurus , but i haven´t seen any of the other 3 (actually never heard about them until now), are there photography of these species on that Ichthyological Exploration report? I think i will purchase the contribution (here: pdf@pfeil-verlag.de) and also th...

Oh PERFECT! its nice to know these people... Thanks a lot, i remember i saw Maurice Kottelat´s Fishes of laos on line, but can remember where, i´d like to adquire this book too cuz i have some doubt this "Tetraodon cutcutia" that looks just like a Monotrete. Thank you again for the help yo...

May it be

Hi there! just back from work vacation ñ_ñ, i was just beeing curious about target puffer genus, i´ve been searching and seems to be a lot of confusion about it... so i decide to ask in the best puffer forum i know 8) specially with Monotrete genus, wich appear with only one member: Monotrete Leiuru...

I do believe it is a saba scpion, indeed, I dont see why sabas should be as rare to find as congo puffer, but thats may personal thought...

Infusoria first 48 horus, vinager eel next 48 hours and microworm next 48 hours, at 27ºC will be enough.

That is the way i rise betta splendens and colisa laila, this babies are really small and manage to survive almost in 80% rates.

Nice pics, i´ve always believed that these kind of pictures are T. Sabahensis, i know we could say that this is gust a gsp with physical and color variations, but spott patern and body shape are very different from what we know as the traditional adult GSP.

Of course, tonight i´ll shoot him, i was waiting for him to be more comfortable in his new house cuz he looked stressed.
