The Puffer Forum

Wow, reading all these great posts makes me want to get a Fahaka now. I can picture all the lip sucking and tail waging and it makes me smile. Are they fresh, brackish or marine puffers?

Completely freshwater, and they are really cool, mine is just small, but even he's got alot of personality.

I had a professional photographer over at my house taking pics of my tanks. Got some great action shots of Filbert & his friends eating giant shrimps.

We need to see those!

Seriously!

You guys will be the 1st. Gonna be a couple weeks though.

What about crickets?
I know people who feed crickets to their oscars and I have read that you can feed them to puffers too once in a blue moon...
Summer is coming and those guys love to invade my house and keep me up all night. Any thoughts on this or should I only feed the LFS ones?

I feed wild caught grasshoppers and crickets all the time.. just make sure your lawn hasn't been treated by any chemicals (pesticides, weed killers, fertilizer, etc).
