The Puffer Forum

hi folks,

fisrst off, hello, i'm new on here but not new to keeping puffers

yesterday i went to collect my new nile puffer, found on ebay off all places. I had to do a 160mile round trip but s/he is worth it.

she had been very well cared for but was getting too large for their tank, her name is sushi (he did once have a community tank, but this guy likes the taste of raw fish )

s/he is now in a rio 300, and had coloured up well

this is her in her old tank when i picked her up



i'll post some more pick of her new digs soon

look forward to chatting to you all

neil

hello and welcome!

nice fish!

Nice puffer you got there, how big is it?

s/he is about 7"

still a little shy in its new home tho', i'll get some better pics as soon as i can

She's still got a bit of growing to do then.
Can't wait to see those pics!

i've got a 6x2.5x2 waiting as and when needed, i'm just hoping that now she can strech her fins, i can get her to full size

she i venturing out more, but her old tank was very bare, and now she has lotd of wood and plants to keep her occupied, i guess it going to take some getting used to....that and my kids staring at her!!!

Very nice Fahaka!

can't wait for some more pics! looks like a nice Fahaka though!
