The Puffer Forum

yeah, I knew that and there's nothing wrong with being nice...it's just abnormal for a T. lineatus

There ain't nothing "normal" around here...

Kaiser is just fat. Something in the water down here grows fat puffers.

I'm pretty sure the substance in the water which grows fat puffers, is the food we keep adding

When i had my fahaka puffer he was all blotchy when i first got him. But as I added a background and more decor he seemed to relax and started to show his colours.
Im sure i read somewhere that a light substrate like sand is meant to help?

He went from this:


to this

oh ok,maybe i should change mine to sand,or do you think my stone is light enough?

I think he's still just a tiny thing....let him grow a bit and feed him well. He'll color up as he gets larger.

yeah i mean when he gets bigger coz he has settled down really well and loves the tank at the moment coz he owns it all.
oh beleave me he eats well,cockles,mussle,snails,blood worm and krill. he goes mad for it all

So did I.

i could not resist doing the gravel change to sand and all whent really well .
he has changed his colour already alittle and his stripes have really started to shine through.
i will take another pic off him after his changs so you can see the big difference to his colour and stripes
