Re: Golden puffer
When I got mine I actually wanted the spotted fins on him, I think it gives character but I grew to love him in all of his yellow-ness. They are great puffers to have...will eat you out of house and home though.Recty wrote:To be honest, I was a little bummed when I saw him, I wanted a purely golden puffer and he definitely has some other color to him.yunachin wrote:Bless his heart he has freckles.
He can come to my house anytime and play with my puffers.
After a couple minutes of looking at him, I started liking it more and more. My wife said the same thing you did basically when she first saw him.
"Does he have freckles?"
Anyway, I like him a lot now and it's only been a day.

Re: Golden puffer
He is absolutely beatuiful. You should enter the second picture in the potm contest. That's a great shot of him.

Re: Golden puffer
Every Arothron spp. puffer I've owned has bit the glass, at some time or another - usually when annoyed (aka being in a new QT!). My mappa has a hissy fit and bites the glass every time I feed him and then don't give him more!
Re: Golden puffer
Yeah, I've had mine almost a week now. He basically chews on the glass when he wants to be fed, otherwise he just calmly swims around. I feel bad for him being crammed in a 29g QT but oh well, he will thank me in the long run!
Re: Golden puffer
Just finally got some updated pictures of the system he is going into.
Here is a full tank shot. The tank has nothing in it at the moment but hermit crabs, snails and two cleaner shrimp. Also a pulsing hand coral and some green star polyps. Pretty much everything will be puffer food eventually
And then here is an updated picture of the sump, I got some PMs asking about what it looks like currently as the old ones I posted were from 4 or 5 months ago.

Re: Golden puffer
very nice. how big is that trash can there?
i'm busy thinking of ways to remember what i was going to say
Re: Golden puffer
That is a 20g trashcan, it holds my water for my auto topoff.
As far as actual size goes, I'm not 100% sure, just about 24" wide at the top and about 28" tall.
For reference, the stand is 36" tall and 74" wide. I'm glad I built it as big as I did, because I'm out of room
