Puffers on the IUCN Redlist
"Darwin swings...annnnnnd a miss. Boy Jim, Chuck's suffered at the plate tonight. He's 0 for 3 and I'm not sure he's recovered from that shoulder pull a few weeks ago. I'll bet the front office is re-thinking that contract."

Re: Puffers on the IUCN Redlist
Just make sure your DPs are tank bred. My LFS had to call the supplier for me to find out, and they're not wild caught.hadla wrote:Dps are on it

Re: Puffers on the IUCN Redlist
Disturbing find that the Aquarium Trade is also partially to blame. http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/summary/166591/0

Re: Puffers on the IUCN Redlist
The aquarium trade is only a little to blame on this one. Their habitat is being destroyed by polluted rainwater run off secondary to deforestation. This is a huge issue all over the world because the forestland is one of the primary filtration systems for rainwater and water ways are becoming less than the pristine environments that are needed by most of the fish on that list.
