The Puffer Forum

Well, I was really naughty today. I bought a Tetraodon Baileyi...
He's about 4" or so. When the guy bagged him, he went nuts and bit a hole in the bag. So he re-bagged him and put blue tissue in the bag?
Anyway, he's only been in his new home for a couple of hours and he's sitting on the bottom looking a bit sad. I guess it takes them a while to adjust.
He's in a 25 gallon, which I got off my bro who's only just taken fish out of it, so should be all set to go.

The guy in the store said he was eating really well and he looks in real good shape. The only place I could find to put him was in my bedroom. But I had to move everything around first, which meant making a complete mess and moving the bed and bedside tables around so that i could put him next to my bed My partner wasnt impressed!!!!

good for you m8 guess hes adapting to his new home

It took Annabelle until the next morning after being shipped over night to be relaxed. Now she knows who feeds her so as soon as I walk in she comes to the front of the tank.

Congrats on your new puffer.

LOL, don't expect it to much more than it's doing now--laying aorund.

Well, I can't guarantee how he might react to a big, growling dog!

hahaha...pp is right theY kinda like arrowhead and congo's. Lay around all day but swim around once in awhile for short period and mostly at night.despite of that they still have great personality which you'll see soon enough and YES PICTURES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok. here's the only photos i could get so far!

is there any way to tell if he's male or female?

Was the doggie making friends. That's funny! He's a looker.

I havent named him yet as I havent decided if he is a she! haha.

Well its the first fish tank where the dog has a view from her height, so I think she thought it was a bit freaky when the puffer suddenly started charging around the tank!

what a good lookin puffer!

I agree, a good looking puffer. Looks nice and healthy.
