The Puffer Forum

You can get away with a bare bottom tank and new species with deceiving false bottoms and some aged driftwoood. A simple layout of flat rocks and other good looking chunks They shade the reflection from lights and bare glass. An outflow pipe or pump aimed in the right area can keep a large amount of...

You happen to know what time of the year the more uncommon puffers start showing up? What are you searching for as for "nice ones" out there. I'd say a really good looking hairy puffer is a hard find that likes people and interaction. Help me out with some new species to research if you w...

Curious what you paid for the anubias? I sell mine & never know what to charge for them. Short story: There are so many types of Anubias! We love em. Advertised at 14.99 (large Anubias barteri var. coffeefolia), but the store was not doing the same $14.99 that day and I got lucky. $7.99 each., ...

Wow! On time and healthy looking. Thanks Wetspot. Some were timid the first day. Today, day #2 (arrived on the 7th) I bought them all giant bunches of Anubias plants for coverage. They are quite active and hungry enough to corner and chase ghost shrimp. I can have pics sometime this weekend, but I d...

Thanks.
I'll be sure to post some photos toward the weekend.
Tomorrow is the the arrival date.

I had a chance to order the palustris and cutcutia a few weeks ago when they were posted, but the weather out here on the Northern states is good and then bad. After thinking it over, I planned out an order for a few of them to arrive on the 7th. I should have grabbed more palustris having a feeling...

I really like the size of the dragon puffer and it is definitely high on my list right now . Does anyone know of another puffer that's a little more active around that size? Freshwater preferably but I am toying with the idea of having another brackish tank. My 2nd dragon/palembangensis as stated w...

My pick is the Humpback puffer. https://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=28651 Super choice. I have two of the palembangensis. One fun and the other is no fun. I'd love to say you can have my 2nd one that is a pet pock! ...I just don't know if they are going to a better home or...

Target puffer.
A little bit of a snout.

Here is a short youtube video of it between live ghost shrimp offerings.

My question is should I let him eat until he doesnt want anymore or just until his belly looks full? He's a little piggy and will beg for his worms all the time so I worry I'm not feeding him enough. Thanks for your input! My 2 cents. We have two sub-adult palembangensis/ dragons. One is very shy, ...

Awesome job on the tank. Anubias plants among others and driftwood are perfect. I recently got into canisters and the water direction for the current and puffers. A spraybar and canister worked well with getting the tanks circulation to lightly tumble (circular motion) pushing all the little turds t...

19 is a milestone. Wow.
Some things on this planet really connect with us.

I just read this thread today and am a tad late to hear the news.
PufferPunk, I have to admit, I was definitely touched to learn the span of time you had with Filbert.
Nineteen is some true fish-love and respect. Sadface.

howdy all, you may (or may not!) remember but about 2.5 months ago I became the proud owner of a shoal of tetradon schoutedeni. They were v. small (1-2 cm) when I obtained them. They are growing really well - some of them have already nearly tripled in size!! I have been feeding them bloodworm sinc...

The Puffers are for a Pick-up. Sorry, currently, I have no interest in trades or shipping the puffs. I do have other equipment additionally for sale if you decide to pick them up. **Bio Media (Eheim, Matrix, AquaClear, Cobalt, other $$). -As the canisters and hang on filters accumulated this year, ...
