Auriglobus modestus

Post by The Fisherman »

Hi,
I am setting up a 29-gallon freshwater puffer tank, and i was debating between 3 SAPS or a suvatti. Then i noticed that my LFS can get Auriglobus modestus pufffers in stock( although they call it a golden puffer). I was wondering what peoples experiences were with this puffer, and if this type is rare/ hard to come by.

although i am leaning more too the suvatti right now, i just need to find out a little more about them.

My experience with these is that they are very active when young ( SAP leveles), more sedentary when mature. They tend to be fiesty.

Hmmm, I went to my LFS yesterday, and they think they can get a suvatti in stock, but there wholesaler calls it a different name.

The golden puffer that they had in stock was HUGE! It was at least 5"!
it was also 25$ and had no guarantee on it. but then again i dont plan on anything dieing. Its just that i am on a very tight budget, and it would be really bad if i lost that expensive of a fish.


I think im turning into a puffer addict, I suddenly want to get a whole bunch of tanks and get every puffer that i possibly can!!!!!
