I was wondering if anyone could tell me generally what A nefastus are like? My local LFS has just gotten some in, the manager actually phones me up now when he has any questions about puffers .... but I wasn't able to tell him much about this one unfortunately. I stopped by there today to have a look at them and the poor puffers were a bit abused looking, as if they had attacked each other. My friend at the LFS said that they were looking very malnourished when they got to the store and that they already had "battle scars" on them when they arrived. A few of them looked as if they needed dental treatment and thankfully I know they will get it because this man helps me do my puffers teeth, so I was glad to know they would be well taken care of.
I had considered getting one, but thought I should find out what their behaviour is like first. Do they get along with other fish at all? Do they get along with others of their own species, or other puffers? I read the info on both modestus and silus, but neither mentioned anything about nefastus, so I wasn't sure if it was similar to the other two, they all three look very similar. The LFS has some that were a good 2" in length, but most were smaller than that. I also read that modestus and silus both need dental work frequently, and I'm guessing that nefastus would be like that too?
Any information is well appreciated. Thanks.
