My New Porcupine Puffer

Post by slowwrx137 »

After quite a while I finally got the fish I set my tank up for, a porcupine puffer. He's about 8" right now and seems very happy. :D

Very pretty puffer, looks healthy and I think there is a smile on it's face.

The blue eyes hooked me, got one put it in a 55g. Ordered a 220g tank set it up and my puffer died one month before the tank was ready. You did it the right way a round. I would wish you good luck but your skill will serve you better.

How come most of those pics, all I see is rock? Are the pics too big? See the pic forum for info on how small they should be for viewing here. Also in the Forum Rules.

He's cute!
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi

Nice looking pork puffer
"Okay. You! Out of the Gene Pool!"- Don't know who said it but I enjoy using it

I'm learning that puffer fish are like pringles. There is no such thing as only wanting one.

Tanks:
38 gallon: 1 Figure 8 puffer, 1 Dragon Goby, 1 Knight Goby, 3 Black Mollies
30 gallon: 1 Blue Acara, 1 Bristlenose Pleco
120 gallon: Ratchet the Fahaka Puffer
