Congo Puffer Laid Eggs!!!
Last night I checked on my red congo puffer before bed, and there were two eggs in the tank! I'll post pics when I get home this afternoon.

Yeah! I'm assuming that they are not fertile?

They are the orange spheres in the back by the rock. BTW, I just flushed them because they're infertile.

Re: Congo Puffer Laid Eggs!!!
Thats what I thought at first, but upon closer inspection I saw that they were gelatinous. I haven't fed anything red or orange to him/her recently, just shrimp and a few oysters.

Re: Congo Puffer Laid Eggs!!!
Yeah, I doubt any puffer would just lay 2 eggs. More like 200!

Re: Congo Puffer Laid Eggs!!!
Has anyone seen Hairy Puffer eggs? See my other post. I just added pics of what look like white eggs. There is only a feeder guppy, cories, and pond snails in the tank. No shrimp.
