The Puffer Forum

haha!! I will NEVER sell my puffers!!
But I was thinking a little bit about selling killer
That's because my big dream is having Irrubesco, salivator and borneensis... And I don't think I have that much space (If I get a bigger tank and borneensis) But I'm just thinking.
I love Killer so I hope that it won't be necessary

I have a dog and 4 tanks now so I got to have a place with space! ;P

Well, I hope you will be able to keep them all. Killer also. I know you love him. Puffers are fishes with personality, no doubt. Tiger is just wonderful. And he is insane when he gets shrimps. I just love watching him go nuts!

Tomorrow I will get a new tank (I hope). It won't be the salivator's tank, but a tank for my two irrubesco. I get nightmares about how small place they live in now. But that was only for a very few days. The problem will be how to cycle a new filter in a hurry. Because I can't use the one they have now. It's way to small! (A Fluval 1 - that also says much about the size of the tank they live in now). Well, a Fluval 1 is not exactly overkill in a 120 liters tank... Maybe I will put it in the new tank anyway. I can't imagine that a big tank with a very, very small filter is worse than a very, very small tank with the same filter (at least this filter is very well cycled ). I'll just have to watch the water closely, and then let the new filter go for a week in my discus tank. A week in a cycled tank with discus in growth, can do a lot for a new filter

Space? Well, I have 11 tanks (including the very small ones) now, 2 big cages with 11 birds and the little creature in my avatar. Luckily I have half a house to spread all this around, but most of it is placed in my two living rooms. Only two tanks is in other rooms. Even my birds are in the same room! So now you understand my Norwegian nick (for the people that doesn't know this: I usually call myself Dyrehagen = the Zoo).

You must keep me updated if something happens on the salivator/borneensis hunt. I am interested in maybe getting them myself. I am quite insane when it comes to these fishes

I' gonna call them today
But if you don't wanna end up with dead expensive fishes how big tank are you thinking about?

The irrubesco you got, female or pair? Pics?

I'm not sure how big tank I will give them, if they become more than one. One salivator will get 120 liters. But if I get more than one, that will probably be way too small.

I bought a pair of irrubescos. They will get a 120-liter tomorrow. The plan is to stack several 120-liters (6 of them) in my bedroom. Earlier I had planned 3 of them as puffer tanks, but now it seems like all 6 of them will end up with puffers in them When I get my salivator into my house, 4 tanks will be occupied.

I wonder why the pet shop sells the puffers in pairs? That doesn't make sense to me. The reason why I got my single salivator, was that it had killed his wife.

Today I got 5 new (or second hand, to be exact) tanks, and one yesterday, so now it's time to bring my salivator home I will get him on Monday or Wednesday. I really look forward to that And, yes, I do have a cycled filter. I got a big surprise when getting the tanks. I buy them very cheap from a LFS, and yesterday I found out that I will get filters and heaters with them as well. Today I was asked if I wanted 3 more tanks. I will get them for free! This must be a birthday present in advance (only few days left to my birthday). Of course they are very dirty and need a lot of cleaning. But that's a lot better than spending all that money I do all the time The bad part is that I then will have room for more fish...
