hey everyone, a returning user

Post by Canary »

Hi I'm Christopher,

So I used to use this forum back in like 2006 when I owned my first puffer. This site has greatly improved. Great job Pufferpunk, she is the only person I knew back then. I was away of the hobby for awhile and I've recently dove back in. I do not have have puffers at the moment but I own a 125 gallon with a breeding pair of cichlids. I also have a a 75 gallon, a 20 gallon, and a 5 gallon that are vacant. I'm actually looking to sell the others because I do not want have to have more than one tank running at the moment because I am a full tine student attending college.
Anyhow, I definately want to own a fahaka puffer again one day. I think they are of of the coolest freshwatet species out there. I would like to try to breed them one day also. As it seems over the years they are a lot harder to come by and more expensive then they used to be. I used to see them for $30 for 3-4 incher now they seem to be $50 - $100 at least.
Well typing long paragraphs on a smart phone seems exhausting, so I'm going to stop now.
Anyone from Western Washington state on the forum?

Hey Chris,
[welcome]
... back!

There's an article on fahaka "breeding", in our breeding forum--you might want to check it out, before you consider this.
