New Puffer! Cross River

Post by jrh14 »

Greetings from Toronto, Canada!

This little guy showed up on Thursday and love it already.

Can’t wait to see how the puffer will look over time. Currently it is about 5-6”

Update: November 24, 2022

Appetite has picked up and colours are starting to shine!

I ordered from Oliver Lucanus based out of Montreal. He has been in the industry for over 25 years! You can find him via Facebook under the name “Below Water”. I actually got the last cross river but I know they are getting more in early December! Highly recommend!

Okay I appreciate the info. That beast is too large for me to house long term but I checked out your contact and I’ll keep him in find if anything happens to my milk spotted puffer that I love.
What size tank will you house him in as full size?

Putting on some much needed weight. One of the most aggressive fresh water puffers I’ve ever owned. Can barely dip my hand in the water for maintenance!
