The Puffer Forum

Cool!

I never have seen any of my puffers do it yet. Well, some of them has been in my house for a very short time, so they haven't had much time to practice. But still, 8 puffers and I've never seen anyone puff!

Wow, I would like to see a mbu puff! How big is Clooney now, Manutius?

Congrats on capturing the elusive full puff picture

Troender, Clooney is 16 inches excluding tail I would say so approaching 20 inches if you count his gorgeous tail . So pretty so placid so cool, I love my little boy

I envy you that one, that's for sure.
But I don't envy all the space that fish needs.
Mmmm...wish I had room for mbu and fahaka. I wish, I wish, I wish... They are so beautiful! And it seems to me, the larger the puffer is, the more personality it has, so a mbu must have much personality!

Nice pic! I only saw mine 'half-puffed'.

where do the little prickly spikes come from? do they just have them under the folds in their skin. i have seen the under belly of mine when he swims against the glass, and it has pores like dimple-holes.

They are under the skin and special muscles pull them erect I think. I asked this question about the dimples on my Mbu, no one seemed to know what they were but that was my suspicion too

Manutius, if I ever get over to England again, you will find me on your doorstep, wanting to see Clooney I have never seen a mbu, except in pictures, but they look gorgeous! But there is someone I know here where I live, that is talking about getting one. As I have said many times: I wish I had room for one!

Actually I haven't seen much puffers except the ones I have bought. The only puffers that I've seen, that didn't follow me home, is suvatti and dwarf, but I wish for the suvatti, though If he continues to totally hide himself in sand, maybe no other buyers see him, and he still will be for sale in May, when I can afford to buy him Ooooh! I want him!

And I've never seen a marine puffer! (If I don't count the GSP).

PS: Hufflepuff tried to bite me through the glass several times again today. He really is an aggressive puffer! I love them that way

What about putting a deposit down on the suvatti?

That could be an idea, now that it's only a month left. At least I will take a phone there on Monday. Or maybe already tomorrow. Then I can get the exact price. Last time I got the "I think it's about 1000 kroner" (Norwegian currency). He was a beauty Huge and beautiful
Only a pity that Eduardo (the man that has been there both the time I've bought my puffers there) is gone on a trip to his homeland. He is so helpful and nice. And has a good relationship to the puffers in the shop. When I bought Hufflepuff he said to me: "Treat him well. He is my "boy" you know" If he sees the film I have of Hufflepuff eating his shrimp, he would be proud

Indeed he would, let us know how you get on

HE IS MIIIIIIINE! Sorry for shouting, but they will keep him for me until the first week of May (when I will have the money). So I got him!
He was even cheaper than I was first told

And BTW, they've also got several F8... That's one more puffer I have wanted. But I don't have room for any more now...I think...

You got the suvatti?!

Yes, he is mine
The only problem is that they also have F8 there now... Wish I had the room. I'm already trying to find place for them too. That's the bad part when you get 9 tanks at the same time. You suddenly have room for more fish...
The suvatti will be my 9th puffer! And my 7th puffer species. I am absolutely crazy!

Yes! Soon you will puff up and breath in water.
I'm glad I don't live in Oslo.. I would probably have more puffers then... But when I'm moving I don't have space!

But I'm only 20 ;P I've got more time
