The Puffer Forum

I had my first spawn very unexpected and I was not set up for this just yet lol

At least I know who the pair is so I’ll be focusing on them

Oh my gosh!!!!! That is amazing and incredible and lots more piccies and details! You must be so excited!

Yes I’m excited

It’s just going to be a real task.

Since it’s their first time I’m not even expecting to see a few survivors. I don’t think the male was doing his job asides from holding on lol

Very cool how many do you have in your tank? I want to add a second one in mine.

I would love to get a “home bred” schoutedeni, how absolutely incredible!!! Please let us know how it goes, and don’t be afraid to ask questions- rearing puffer fry can be harder then raising human kids (well, keeping them alive until they’re Juvis anyway )! Got any pics, who doesn’t love babies (even when they’re just eggs)!

You definitely could find good homes here for the fry if they survive!

I waited awhile to be able to get more than one at once

How are your guys doing PUFFWHO?

I separated the male before I left
Will be done working the end of the week and I’ll be able to see them

Will get serious about the spawning soon

I have seen him spawn with two so far the same female twice already

Fantastic news, I hope he steps up to his puff husband duties of spawning properly for you

Did you manage to sex yours before this behaviour with your 5? Or a case of the spawning has given them their genders?

My two little guys are growing well and settling well but curious if I will ever be able to tell what I have.

I was only able to tell once they started spawning I know the sexes of 3 for sure

The male is back in with the others and already swimming around like a humming bird being a real jerk lol

You wouldn't have him any other way

Hi are your guys getting on?

I was going to ask your group, did you get them all at the same time? My two are in a 55 gallon and wondering if could add to the mix or if that would be an exceedingly bad idea.

I did
But I added two more today and right away they were accepted by the original 5

They’re all doing great

That is great news It must be an exciting tank with a small colony of them now!

I'm having a think whether to introduce more to the 200 litre, my two seemed to have settled for now
