The Puffer Forum

Hey everyone, as you know I've recently gotten a fangs mislabelled as an F8. She is awesome!
We've named her Milly aka Mildred (formally known as Shellie .. Shellie really did not suit her) she has already eaten prawn, and she comes up to the glass when we walk into the room.


Here's some pics.. they aren't the best, she wasn't cooperating this morning
She is in a 26g cube tank, with black & tan 3M Colorquartz S-grade sand.





Full tank shot



I'll try to get some better pics another time

She looks healthy. A beautiful turgidus! Nice pickup!

She is gorgeous! Congrats on the new pufflet, what a find!

Thanks My heart started to pound really fast when I seen her lol, then she came out of her hiding spot.. so it was meant to be

she looks really good.

Congrats, cant wait to get my SAP's

i cant believe they had them as fig 8s ---- how much you get her for? must have been a bargain price

Thanks , I had SAP's just be careful if the tank is not covered properly.. they may jump if startled

I couldn't believe it either.. they look nothing alike!! We got her for $12.00 which was definitely a bargin!!
I've never seen turgidus puffers around here, so I was really happy to have found her

Is it more green or brown in base colour? I cant tell from the pics.

She's quite brown with blue spots, when she is lighter she looks a little bit green, maybe another ID?

Looks more Cochinchinensis to me in every shot apart from the first but without a nice hi-res shot when its not moving, its impossible to tell. The bluey spots would be more indicative of a Turgidus so it probably is, the lighting and substrate could be changinf its colour. Either way looks like a great buy.

Thanks she wouldn't stop swimming lol. I'll definitely try to get some better shots

congrats on another nice puff lisa!

Love the second pic.

She's a real beauty.

Thanks everyone

Here's some pics I took last night, she was swimming around a lot, then she just stopped, and posed for me for 15 mins.. it was so cool!! It's like she knew what I was trying to do

** Lots of pics!! **
