The Puffer Forum

Chin and I were talking, and I think that clownfish might be a possibility a few years down the road, if not sooner! But if I don't get going on my paper and get lower than a B in English, then my parents are going to kill me and there will be neither sooner nor later... I'm signing off! No, really, I am. Oh, who am I kidding? I'm getting a The Clownfish Forum account right now! I'm such a deadbeat.

Ive had a lot of my dream fish in my time and have most of them currently there are very few fish left that are dream fish to me anymore, although id like a lates niloticus, or some hydrolocus

why 3 big tanks just get all three of them and let them share the same tank. the valentini wouldnt be to happy though lol but the Dogface and the S&S would be just fine. so you would need 2 tanks

yeah, n now i want a lookdown or 2 or 3... and some yellow tangs and prolly a picaso. gah! i've turned into a monster. now i just need oh..... $5,000. lol

You will need more than that.

lolol

At monster fish keepers, I came across someone's huge tank build thread- he literally tore out the garage and built an L-shaped tank with HUGE fish. Now I *know* that was more than $5K. lol

I went to my lfs today just today look at lots of these fish "in real life"- wow are they colorful! I took some videos of a dogface and a lookdown- I put them in a thread I started here in the marine board called "lookdown fish".

Could have crossed one of my dream fish off my list the other day. The nile perch (Lates niloticus) saw one around 4" at wharf aquatics, looked fantastic, priced at £115 (if memory serves) worth that to me and probably would have paid it too, but it wasnt 100% onto dead/prepaired foods. And the fact that i couldnt guarentee that it would have been safe in one of my tanks i decided not to take the risk.

Also its a big fish when grown, + i just got my Barramundi a few weeks prior (lates sp.) and at £45 for a 9" a much better price. Hope you get one of your dream puffers at some point
