The Puffer Forum

sorry if i had posted anything offensive in here...

all those puffers look healthy, cant wait to see pics of the tank(s) you have for the 4 you kept!

I went off topic you followed. I think posts were removed because of me. Don't worry hadla. They look like incredibly healthy puffers, I just wish I could pluck the puffer of my choice from the wild

Gosh, that must of been an incredible trip. Wonderful pictures and all the puffers look amazing. Did you keep the hairy puffer?

What are the methods of catching them and how did you catch them?

didn't know much about method, something like Gills Nets i think

I'd only expect hybrids in cases of slightly overlapping ranges. Otherwise two species would hardly have separated or the population would have mixed up again. I don't think that's the case in the Mekong, although hybrids of Monotrete ssp. have been reported from captive breeding, so technically it can be possible.

Oh wow! I missed this post. The pics and story was too cool. I always love seeing fish in the wild.

That was a great read along with the pics! Awesome!!! Thai people eat anything furthermore they will make soup out of anything!!! One of my good friends was teaching English there last year and she was telling me all about it! Awesome puffers!

Awesome story and pic's. Thank you very much for sharing.

Wow! Nice puffer, do you sell it or keep it?
