The Puffer Forum

Hopefully this is going to be my new puffer.

And we all agree this is a Fahaka right

the guy told me he has been eating well, which makes me think he might have IP's cause of how skinny he is. Guy also tried to tell me Fahaka's are nautrally a skinny puffer

It is indeed a Fahaka ..... but you might be right about the IP's. Don't listen to a word this man is telling you about this puffer. I like to think that all puffers should be a tad chubby myself.

Congratulations xrayjeeper, I hope you get him and fatten him up!

Just sent my money, will be at my door step tomorrow

I has STUPID BIG GRIN

Wow! Great news. I can't wait to see pictures of him when he's in your tank. You've waited a long time, but sometimes when we've waited for something, the satisfaction is that much sweeter from the wait.

Definitely treat that fellow for IPs.

Should I start treating right away or give him a day or two to relax first?

I dont think Ive ever hunted and waited so long for something.

Aw congrats and piccys when he is settled, he does look like he has IPS and I agree with Suzanne, some have a squared off look but puffs tend to have a chubby look. I would personally start to treat straight away with addition of good food, congrats any names?

Im thinking Bloat for a name

awww cute x

its the name of the puffer from finding nemo

oh believe me I knew that lol! LOVE that film and of course once you get your hands on him he will look ever more gorgeous and healthy x

I hope ive learned enough from here that I can properly take care of him


OH and Im getting a new car sat so I can sell my POS jeep. Take that money pay down/off on bill and then put the rest away as a start for a bigger tank for him

Aw its great you have the plans in place, Im sure you will a fantastic owner with him and of course you need any help there are so many lovely peeps on here with experience. I have only had my puffer about a month and a half almost two but the delight he has brought is just amazing, truly gorgeous puppies. I bet you are really excited lol xx I know we will all be itching to see Bloat when he has settled in and how he progresses (I certainly do!)
