The Puffer Forum

Been a while and thought this should be updated. The store has went through changes in ownership and has a different feel about it. Gone are those rare gems you would find. Havent seen any puffer there, nor anything else of much interest. Seem to focus more on the fast selling bread and butter type ...

Feel bad, have not had any update pics... lol, still dont. The Suvatti (Badger) is doing well. Eats one worm a day and make the tank look like a death zone with worm parts everywhere. Still working on the tank decor a bit. I ordered a couple large Mopani pieces, but really dont know what to expect w...

Here is a fun one... viewtopic.php?f=2&t=33934

Puffers are just so bold, love that about them. Mine never hide during any tank maintenance. But mine never have bit me or tried to.... yet

Glad to hear the Congo is eating again.

The secret life of puffers...

That's just a suvatti being a suvatti. They eat like a wood chipper. You should see what they do to a live fish. Im doing three 1/3+ wc's a week right now after every feeding. I really should of put it in a bigger tank. It could foul up the 20 quick. I wish I would of thought about drilling these t...

Im spoiled having Wet Spot so close it was only $29 to next day it to me from Oregon to Washington state. With Exoticfishshop if I remember correctly the shipping cost was super reasonable and they guarantee live delivery even if 2 day. Their rates were not outrageous at all. I was going to order a ...

PYRU and I both got our Suvattii from Wet Spot but they dont have any Abei at the moment.

Not a whole lot to report. Suvattii is eating part of a night crawler daily. He is viciously tearing it apart and eating but leaves lots of parts lying around and does not go after them. I think he would prefer smaller food items but is at least eating well. On another note he may have a name.... I ...

Looks good!

Awesome! Good to hear its eating and getting acclimated.

I’ve had bad shipments of my bichirs. One time the fish were not purged first and the shipping bag was full of vomited out shrimp parts. The eyes on the fish were white and cloudy. Just did lots of clean water and it turned out great. Im thinking the puffer may have just had a little ammonia poison ...

Sorry to hear that. Hope all is well. Keep us updated on it.

At this point it will need a little time and clean water.

I have promised my wife that after this, no new puffer fish for 6 months :roll: You know 6 months can be a long time.... lol Good to hear they are doing well. My Suvattii is eating daily but Im not giving too much. The first week I let it pretty much eat as much as it wanted but now I’m just trying...

Hows the new guy settling in? Did you end up rescaping with different driftwood?
