Found this and wanted to share it, wondering what kind of puffs you guys think these are. I can't believe someone was able to just pick the puffers up and hold them like that, the puffs seemed so nice! None of them were freaking out being in such a small container and having a hand in there touching them

Re: "giant monster puffers" - youtube find
Seems a bit sad for 8 of them to be in such a small container, and no heater, or air in there. Hopefully that was just for the purpose of the video.
I've got a couple puffers that I can reach in and move around like that. Believe it or not, my Congo, Orangetta, will allow you to lift her up in your hand. Now, my other Congo, mini Biscuit, I would definitely not try that with.

This was just a holding tank, I cant recall correctly but I believe the owner kept several around 1.015. Dont quote me on that.

Re: "giant monster puffers" - youtube find
Can you imagine the tank someone would need for all of those? If they get anywhere near the size of my Ceylons, then I would think you'd need a HUGE tank for 8 of them.

Dont know if all 8 were kept together, still would be a great sight in one tank.

Re: "giant monster puffers" - youtube find
May I ask why you wanted to get rid of him? We had one but at the time didn't have an appropriate tank for him and he was in with some of my puffers and it seemed to me that he was eyeing them up as dinner, so he went. But they are cool, no doubt.

He was becoming a bit too aggressive but hes calmed down now. And yes he would have been eyeing up your puffers as dinner.

Re: "giant monster puffers" - youtube find
The birchir was my husband's idea and he knows that my puffers come first, and that's why we rehomed it. How big is yours?

He's currently about 18". If I cant upgrade him soom then he'll have to go. Sad thing is I wont get much for him. Babies sell for £30+ and I doubt ill get a lot more for him.

Re: "giant monster puffers" - youtube find
Wow, I didn't realise they got that large. What size tank are you needing for him? I've got a tank I need to get rid of in order to get a bigger one in for my Mbu.
