Just out of curiosity, was this Question so that he went to an experienced Puffer keeper, or so that one person didn't hog all of the puffer-ness?

i was curious about that too.

either way i think this made me wanna go look for a rarer freshwater puffer for my new tank but i doubt ill find one up here, which means i get to turn my 55 gal into a GSP tank YAY!

I was just grasping at something to be fair but I decided all of you were going to be good candidates, so the only fair thing was to give it to the next person in line.

alright well ill turn into the pathetic begging hopeless person and say that in any chance it doesnt work out im still here lol

I want to warn you guys, the fellow that just shipped out Devlin said it is costing $85 for overnight shipping. This might narrow down the prospects of this fish. Do you all still want it? It was selling for $150, so in essence, you're only paying around $85 for it (depending on where it's shipped). Devlin was shipped Priority Overnight to CA, so if it was closer, we might be able to ship it cheaper.

well if anything goes astray i still am interested but im sure crazed is still gunna take it

Thanks guys!!
I'm getting prepared for him now, I'm really excited.
I'll definitely get pics up soon!

Also PP do you know what he's been eating?

dang shipping is getting expensive. do puffers ship as well as plecos?

They're pretty sensitive, so shipping is rough on them - they need a big bag, preferably pretreated with an ammonia detoxifier and possibly something to increase the O2 in the water.

oh wow ok, yea when i shipped my plecos it's not a big deal at all, its like they have natural tranquilizers lol. mine took two days and when i got them in the tank they were perfect not even discolored.

CP, He's eating live crayfish & snails so you're going to have to get him on dead foods.

Pretty cool CP I hope you enjoy your new puffer. Does he have a name?
