Tetraodon turgidus

Post by Spitfire »

My Turgidus , Darwin i call him seems to being OK but still trying to get him out in daylight.
I think when he gets a bit bigger he may venture out a bit.
What rate do they grow at?
I would say he is around 3 inches at present

regards
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

I wouldn't count on it unfortunately. Turgidus are lurkers. Mine doesn't move around much during the day and only hunts at night when all the lights are off. I rarely see him.

I suppose you could get Red Lilly and let them send the pads to the surface, this would cut out a massive amount of light, this might trick the Puff into coming out more.....but dont hold your breath.
