My Red Tailed Puffer Trio (Carinotetraodon irrubesco)

Post by Erratic-Fish-Finatic »

Hey guys, just got a trio of red tailed puffers at my local BigAl's. Quite rare, here in Toronto, Canada. I got a nice male with bright red fin and 2 females, what made it even luckier was I snatched up the only 2 females in the tank of 30 irrubescos. I'll post pics soon. Oddly, they don't seem to have any interest in snails, which is surprising and frustrating. Gotta experiment now with what they are gunna be fed. Store was feeding them just blood worms, as they just got them in last week.

pufferghoti saw them while he was in T'ronto. He would have bought some but didn't know if he could fly with them due to the rules on liquids on planes.

Good find, best of luck with 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.
