plants?

Post by jada »

Thank you. I really enjoy her. Puffers really do a lot of weird stuff..

I plan to redecorate the tank one day. I am considering buying plastic plants because she eat any plant I but in there.. But I'm afraid she'll eat (or at least destroy) those 'plants' too..

Any ideas?

That's a great looking puff, I've only seen one once before.

Are they fairly common in your area? I like to get a hold of one.

I've never seen ore heard of anyone else keeping this puffer. A guy I know caught this fish on his vacation a couple of years ago. He didn't know what it was, and sold it to a puffer freak when he got home.

A couple of months ago I saw this puffer for sale. I'd never heard of this puffer, but I decided to buy it anyway. At least five were fighting to get their hands on this fish only after a couple of minutes, but I was the first one. Then I called my boyfriend to tell about it, and i turned out he knew the guy! So we went to pick up the fish, and that was when we heard the story about the wasps.

Payed about 30 USD for the psittacus and a GSP. He wanted to sell them together cause they were so good friends. They've been together since day one. The seller only cared about finding them a good home. He said it was adequate selling them to someone he knew. I would feel that way too.

A little while ago, I bought 2 more GSPs. They're all friends..

I moved the tank yesterday, so the water should be clear by now. I'll try to get some more pics. I had to move the tank because i bought a new 430 liter aquarium!! :D

Wow, I hope that'll be bigenough! Personally, I wouldn't keep them together as they grow towards adulthood. That tank will be big enough for the 3 GSPs alone. The C psittacus will outgrow the GSPs by 2x.

Only the psittacus is moving to the new tank, once it's up and running.

Cool! You'll need one just as large, for 3 adult GSPs too.
