Meet our happy Orange Saddle Puffer!

Post by Sandee »

Unfortunatly, Golfball passed away - he had a good 3+ years. After cleaning up his tank and thinking I'd use it for some of my baby Cichlids ... we came upon this little guy - nice little Orange Saddle Puffer. Very swimmy, very active. Reading up on the correct care now - but getting mixed information on the web, hhmmm ...

But - just wanted to show him off a bit ... do take a look at my live FishCam, he comes to the camera every so often! :)

Aye! I am going to send a PM to Marco because he knows all of the scientific side of it and with his knowledge of that we can get together quite a large amount of information.

I could probably link to it a thousand times! I can give you the best $$$ mag to sell it to, too.

Yes! The very first day - he took a nose dive right under ... but hasn't since. I'd like to keep one of my FishCams on him in a position folks can see him ... but he's ALL OVER the tank!

Wow he's so cool. I know this thread has moved down the list a bit now but I'm just curious about something. Is it true they need like 50 gals just for one? Just wondering.

I'm not sure about that - but I currently have him in a 29g with a pretty strong 2217 and good circulation. He's doing dandy (for now).
