The Puffer Forum

So my LFS said that they could get me a fugu puffer (it's kinda hard to get any puffers in KY) so I have a fully cycled tank set up and wouldn't mind another puffer. Can anyone give me some info on the Fugu puffer? couldn't find it in the puffer pedia...anyone have some photos too???? Thanks soooo much!

Fugus are SW fish.

Where in KY do you live? My LFS will order you just about anything.

Mount Sterling, I could travel if needed. I have a hard time getting the Pet shops to get anything other than sick GSP's and the things They say they can get are often mis-labeled. I called earlier today and asked what she could get in this week and she said a mekong river puffer....yeah I dunno. she said her supplier told her that it looked kinda like a GSP uuuuuggggg! I go to Lexington often and have checked at Incredipet, the animal house, and pet smart and none of them carry puffers at all.Please help! lol

Look for "Takifugu Ocellatus" in the marine section of the pufferpedia.
They need colder water, 55Gal, and preferrably not see a lot of traffic outside the tank because they get stressed out and go crazy easily. They are smart and funny little things though. I'm in love with mine.

I'm so afraid of telling them to get me a fish and it turn out to be something compleatly diff! and not have the right tank for him
