The Puffer Forum

I've had this gal swimming in my tank for a while.Perhaps she thinks she's a puffer

looks like a funky catfish

Is it pregnant or fat? I can't tell.
Thats pretty cool though (and a bit unhealthy)

what is she?

Corvus would be the man for identification.

Awww lol her belly does look like my puffers belly .

Striped Raphael catfish. Corvus isn't the only one that knows fish ID!

They blow up & make loud clicking sounds.

is the clicking made by a throat plate made for crushing food? I know many clicking fish have that.

she is really cool! where did you get her?

nevermind...

"Talking catfishes get their common name from noises they make, mostly at night, by griding their pectoral fin bone in its "socket"

Lets stop this rumor befor it goes any further.Rapael cats do not puff up.She is just fat(she looks like she ate a tennis ball).She's had this shape 24/7 for the last 15 years.She just looks puffer like.

OMG, what a piggy!

haha, that's funny!

hey i kinda called it first!!!
