I want to know if anyone here has or has had one of these beautiful puffers. If so I want to share some information about them and their care.

Re: Takifugu Ocellatus
Yes ma'am. I have read much about them. I was just looking for more personal experiences, like longevity, temperament, etc. I think each puffer is different as far as personality and was just curious of others.

PM Martin Hi. He has some of them still thriving AFAIK.
Many Takifugu are eaten in China and Japan and even bred in thousands in large pond facilities. Mostly other species, though.

Re: Takifugu Ocellatus
I have no idea how much they are... you'd probably also need a ticket to China, a health certificate for the fish... and so on.pufferfreak wrote:wouldnt that make them cheap if you went to one of these ponds and asked for one?
Fish are always cheap in the areas they are produced or caught. Porcs e.g. can be bought at 1-4$ each. After catching, exporting, importing, wholesaler etc., the related losses, they are easily around 30$ or more in European or American stores.
