The Puffer Forum

I was at an LFS, and just saw a whole whack of Takifugu Ocellatus. Recombinant Rider was along and saw em all, thats her finger holding up the quarter for size reference...about 5-5.5". Oh, how I wanted to get one...

Hope this is a cheer for your day...I hope they all get good homes....the guy at the store seems to have a handle as to how to treat these guys...

I was so excited to see them, I almost passed out! I've never seen so many of them together at once!

I do miss this puff! They are so active, used to go nuts for cuddle fish and would splash all over the place.

when i go to put food in mines tank he will stick his head out of the water a little to try to catch it some times he will snap a krill out of my fingers before it hits the water he so greedy i love that about him

If I wasn't expecting a little one I think I would have to buy them ALL!!!! They are so lovely! It also seems there is more availability of them over on the west coast too. Thank you soo much for sharing!!

I almost did...then I remembered, I dont have much space...what would PP do, what would PP do....then I realized I didnt have as much aquarium space either.....so I had to leave the little cute ones behind.......oh well.....in the future!

After the baby is born and we planning to move so when I get into the new house I am going to set up an entire Fugu area for study. I am really excited about the progress these fish are making in the hobby as more and more people are coming to the understanding on how they need to be treated. I will get an article out there one day soon with the help of Marco and his amazing knowledge.

Excellent. I just want a fugu cuz they are one of the most awesome puffers to have...at least for me anyways. I will be awaiting your article. I'll be snapping away with photos, so if you ever need any, just send me a message and they are yours. These ones are a sub standard for me....so I will be looking to take better ones

Oh i love these puffers. was tempted to get one but thought better of it. Need more puffers lol!

how much were those? i've never seen them for less than $20.00

$19.95. Just under.....

I got mine for $13 at 2.5" from the same store. These are bigger, around 4-5".

Nice pics! Thanks!

I wish I could find takifugu here in Japan for pets. They are raised for food over here.

I saw some for about 12ish maybe 7 dollars.

you'd think since they are raised for food over there you'd be able to find them easier
