The Puffer Forum

I've never seen this kind of Dogface before, I'm sure different kinds of puffers interbreed as it also looks like a Narrow-lined Puffer
It's for sale on this site

Reticulated Puffer

Beatuiful puffer but no not a dogface for sure.

Sorry, wrong ID, I think it's a Arothron manilensis. It is in the dogface family.

The only thing is PP it doesn't have the spots at the back end of it I just did a search for Arothron manilensis in google images and the orig picture I posted came up as a Arothron manilensis

What the puffer or the book? lol.

We dont currently do marines, we started stocking them at one point, we carried the dry goods and a basic range of fish, live-rock, coral etc... but there just isnt a market where we are and were costing too much so weve done away with them. Maybe when the new shop is finished and we then work on getting more into our current unit we may do them again.

The Puffer

I've noticed that with a lot of LFS only doing tropical fish, I suppose it must be expensive for all the equipment big enough to handle a large amount of SW tanks. Also keeping Marine aquariums still seems hard to do to someone who's never done it before, I know that myself I've wanted a Marine Aquiarium since I was a kid but was always told I couldn't have one because they're hard to look after and expensive

Really to make money in marines you have to go into in a big way, theres a much smaller profit margin in them aswell. We just stick with what we do best. People that want marines go to the specialists anyway, we do best with a large range of trops cichlids and a fair few oddballs... not just including the staff
