Re: Poll-How many puffers do you have?
Keep the dead shrimp as a pet and call it fluffy! XD just don't out anything else in the tank cause they'll kill fluffy... But he's already dead... So... Yeah

Oh my God that looks good! I want it!
In a few days fluffy will disappear and I'll put a new fluffy in. *Sighs* I really want a puff in there
I've had so much bad luck lately.

Re: Poll-How many puffers do you have?
You can't just have 3 or four, they are addictive. Consider you can have a relatively small tank with a few dps in, or a huge tank with a single fahaka or even a swimming pool with a mbu. My point is many people keep multiple dps in a tank and then may have another tank with a couple of f8 or gsp, 2 tanks 5 or more puffers etc. could do a poll on how many different species of puffer do you own and the outcome would be different
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Re: Poll-How many puffers do you have?
I have a terrible, terrible confession to make.
Deep deep down, I desperately want my daughter's tank to have some sort of catastrophe, so I can restock it with some DPs.
Please don't tell anyone, I'm actually very fond of her little fishes, and don't really want them dead. I just want more puffs.

Hehe just be sneaky! While she's at school or wherever for a few hours, take all the fish into your lfs and trade them for dps!!! And tell her they magically transformed while she was away! XD I'm so bad.
I'm sure my dps could sneak out and dispose of your fish... Little evil plotters!

Very cool group of puffers you have.redsox19 wrote:I have three... 10 inch fahaka names phil, 4.5 inch arrowhea named dale, and a baby congo named deaner
So this poll apparently proves it is impossible to own four puffers.

Re: Poll-How many puffers do you have?
They're all so very different... But thankfully the fahaka eats dead foods otherwise live feeding would get pricey ha ha my LFS currently has the palembangis..? Puffers however that's spelled, but they seem so boring even compared to other lurkers... I think the only other puffer ill get is a hairy puffer then I'm doneDMD123 wrote:Very cool group of puffers you have.redsox19 wrote:I have three... 10 inch fahaka names phil, 4.5 inch arrowhea named dale, and a baby congo named deaner

Re: Poll-How many puffers do you have?
I decided to start with a hairy as my first puffer. It was a tough debate because I was interested in a few different types including the Congo, Palembangensis and arrowhead. Im happy with my decision to get the hairy. Very interactive and unique looking fish. A fahaka is on my wish list.... one day it will be mine.redsox19 wrote:They're all so very different...
