The Puffer Forum

I have been trying to get another fahaka ever sence my last puff bit the filter tube... So my LFS told me that they have a customer who is bringing in a 8" fahaka and they want to get rid of it. Well it turns out, i know this guy, and he was the one who put the big idea in my head to get a fahaka. I guess he is moving to an apartment where he cant have a big enough fish tank to support him. I hope i get him!

Sounds like a good plan, when will you know if you've got him or not?

oooh fingers crossed you get this guy!
and we want pics if you get him!

Congrats! I hope your tank is cycled enough to handle that HUGE bioload.

im not sure. i will be giving the guy a call today to see whats going on. and yes, pics will come! i will be putting him in my 125g. i have had it for over 6 months. so it should be cycled.

What's keeping it cycled now? Are there fish in there or have you been adding ammonia since the last one died?

look at my sig.

my last fahaka was in my 55. which has snails, and blackworms growing in it.

im taking in all my other fish to one of my LFS to get store credit to make my 55g into a reef tank.

Yes, the 125g is most definitely cycled, and has way more than enough bacteria to support the bioload of the one puff. *points to his sig* All those fish will be rehomed to make room for the Fahaka.

We'll be keeping our fingers crossed for you!

Ok, I wasn't aware of that. Great plan.

So hes thinking about charging $100 for his puff... is that a good price?

That's probably about right for an 8" fahaka, although that is really a retail price.

Yeah, I think he should charge you the price that the store would give him credit for it. Especially since he knows you and can be sure it is getting a good home.

yeah, well we will see...
