Hello from USA- new to the forum

Post by MotherFahaka »

Hello all!
We ( my boyfriend & I) are new to the Puffer forum - we currently have 3 green spotted puffers in a 40 gallon tank. We just set up a 150 gallon tank and are awaiting our Fahaka puffer - already named " Mother Fahaka" lol 😆 looking forward to being a part of the Puffer community

What are your plans for upgrade on the GSPs?

Hello Pufferpunk,
we are not planning on changing anything with the GSP's - theyve been thriving in their tank for over a year now.. our Fahaka will be solo in his 150 gal tank :)

Consider 3 GSPs the size of a Nerf football (the size they should grow), living in that tank for the next 10+ years.

Shalom & greetings, I also have three cute small green-spotted puffers in a medium-size brackish aquarium :D They are very peaceful now and cohabitate well with my eels, but when they grow bigger I will move two of them to another aquarium (they are not so peaceful when big!)

I upload my photos to a public album on facebook and link them in from there (I find that it's the easiest place to store them and I don't have to sign up for a service that will make me pay or watermark images). Just click on the photo after upload then when it's full screen right click and select save image address, then you can click the IMG button in the formatting bar above your post and paste it between the [img] Tags
