Say Hi from Thailand.

Post by Joro_Q »

Say Hi from Thailand. My name is Pe'.

This website is very awesome. It's great to know there are many people who love puffer , share and help other people.
I have 30 C.Lortteti , T. abei x 4 , T. turgidus x 2. C.Lorteti is the most puffer I love because It's look cute , redeye ,
blue tail , redline at stomach ETC. Moreover, they can make a flat body when they breeding and fighting.
It's very cute. I have a plan to breed them and someday I will made it :D .

Thank you TPF for a great website and a great people. :D

Wow, 30 lorteti!! That's quite a lot of puffers, and I thought I was bad. :shock:

Anyway, good to have you with us. Do you have any photos of your puffers that we can see? :)

Welcome.

I'd definitely like to hear more about your tanks and pictures if possible. I've got 4 irrubescos and I'm hoping they'll breed some day. We're working on the first step right now which is getting softer water for them.
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

I hope they are not fighting too much! How big is their tank? Can you post a picture?

I no longer have lortetis (I had to get rid of mine to free up a tank that I needed at the time, but if I could find more, I'd have them again), however, I love the redeye puffers and I've got irrubesco, Bornean and salivator. Definitely one of the prettier species of puffers I think. :)

I have 50 gallon tank (x 2) , 25 gallon plastic box (x4)
For each 50 gallon tank I keep 8 juvenile redeye , each 25 gallon plastic box I keep 4 adult redeye and one keep 2 adult.

In juvenile tank have a bit fighting and then they can live together as well. In adult tank there are strongly fighting. The bigger one or anyone who want to be a leader in the tank is more aggressive, bite anyone who come to its area. It's look like terrible fighting for adult but there aren't any redeye died in community tank. Now they can live together as well too.

I said I have a plan to breed them. Because 2 years ago I have had them eggs for 2 times but its failed. An eggs didn't have be born and to be fungus 2 days later. :( Now i will try to breed them again.

ํYou can see my redeye photo in my gallery. :D

I had a female lorteti for several months before I added 2 more females & a male. She killed the 2 females right away & then after spawning with him 3x, killed the male too.

Yes, I think female actually aggressive than male too. For breeding 1 male + 1 female is the best.
Did you keep the record from that spawning? , water parameter , temperature , tank size ETC.
Do you got any fry from that spawning?

Just a question Joro_Q -- if you've got more than one male and one female in a tank, and they do spawn and babies come from it, won't those babies be eaten by the other puffers in that tank?

To Pufferpuggirl

They never spawn in community tank because I just keep a juvenile puffer. For breeding, I will keep adult puffer a pair per tank.

I keep many juvenile redeye in tank because I want to test something. I observe that they live as a group,
They're eat better and them aggressive has down too (They always aggressive when they hungry.)

I have tried in many environment to breed them.
1 male + 2 female = Failed. When male try to breeding, other female annoying them.
2 male + 1 female = Failed. When male try to breeding, other male annoying them.
2 male + 2 female = Failed. When male try to breeding, other male or female annoying them.
1 male + 1 female = This way is the best. I keep them for 2 years. There are very few fighting with them.
They spawn during rainy season in Thailand. I didn't check water parameter but temperature
is about 27-28 C. Them tank have 2 java mos and 2 baked clay pot at left and right corner
of 25 gallon tank. First spawn is about 100 eggs and second spawn is about 150 eggs.

Thank you for every comment :D
