Re: Which Puffer

Thanks. I'm not too scared about the dental thing, you'll have to tell me where to get the correct sedative though as it seems clove oil is no good? I watched some videos on YouTube and it didn't seem too hard but it's probably awful for the fish to go through. I'm going to post another topic shortl...

Re: Which Puffer

I do actually like the f8 but I've not yet seen one in the store.

It's a shame about the saps pacing, I really can only fit a 4ft tank in my room and I would have preferred fresh water as it's one less thing to worry about.

Re: Which Puffer

What's the Ceylon puffer like temperament/behaviour wise?

So with a salt tank do I have to premix the water with salt before adding it to the tank? Only I was thinking of using one of those water changer tubes that runs off the tap.

Re: Which Puffer

Oh that's a shame, do you mean vertically pacing up the glass or just the length? I definitely can't fit 5ft in my living room. I quite like the figure 8, I've never seen a ceylon so I will have to read up on them. Are the 8s and ceylon quite active and inquisitive? That's what attracted me to the S...

Re: how much bloodworm for 2 SAP's

Are snails the best for grinding their teeth down and how easy is it to breed enough snails to feed say 3 adults?

Re: Which Puffer

really like the porcupine puffer, however the guy at the aquarium said they can actually reach 2ft! There are several species of "porcs", including the Burrfish. Only the hystrix grows to 2-3". The others grow to about 12". That makes sense, it seems like no one working at these...

Re: Which Puffer

Do you know what, I've looked a dog face, green spot, Dwarfs, figure 8, porcupine and MBU today and still came back to the little Amazonian ones. They are just so playful and they have tankful of them where I went today and they just follow you around when you go near. I think that's what I'm gonna ...

Re: Which Puffer

I really like the porcupine puffer, however the guy at the aquarium said they can actually reach 2ft! Green Spotted is nice. I saw some at one place being sold as freshwater but from what one read they are actually not once older but the guy there insisted they can be kept as fresh so I didn't argue.

Re: Which Puffer

I was kinda wanting to pick the Puffer and then get the set up based on that since I have a fair bit of space but I don't want a giant one as I'd like them to have plenty of room to get about in.

My sideboard I want it on is 150cm long x 50cm deep. Theres nothing above it.

Re: Which Puffer

I have room for up to a 3FT, it's going to go on a large sideboard of mine, not sure how many g. I'm looking for a medium sized puffer, not a GIANTS like the MBU.

Re: Which Puffer

Hi there, I don't have the tank yet so I don't actually mind what kinda water habitat we go for. Size will depend on which one I go for or how many in some cases.

I'm not bothered about putting other species in, it would be nice but if they nip I'd rather not go there.

Which Puffer

Hi there I'm new to this site. I'm considering getting a Puffer (fell in love with those faces many years ago) but I'm having trouble deciding which to go for. I'm not wanting a giant but I'd like one thats not too skittish and that's at least a little bit aware of their owners, exhibits the quirky ...
