The Puffer Forum

Hello folks!

My name is Alexander and I live in northern Sweden in a town called Luleå. I have the past eight years had mostly cichlids of different kinds and now sits on the Board of the Nordic Cichlid Soceity. Puffers is something I have never tried, until six months ago when I came across a small Tetraodon lineatus of 4 cm. Today he is around 17 cm and the fish is posing on my good friend Johanski's images here on the forum.

I also have a saltwater aquarium with a bunch of emperors and surgeon fish.

Hoping to get share many experiences with you all and hopefully there will more pictures of my single puffer as he grows. It seems to be a great knowledge here.

Johanski sounds more Polish then Swedish

welcome, gorgeous fahaka

He he, to make you more confused I can say that my last name is Ylipää. That's not even close to a Swedish name

Welcome to the forum!!

That is a beautiful fish you have there!

Hey welcome to the forum! Anyone from the same country as 'Wallander' can't be all bad!

I'm just sad that Puffers are not popular in a Polish community

PS: Great Fahaka, did you keep it in a big tank as soon as you got it or did you upgrade as it grow ?

"Wallander" is great, but not as great as "Beck"

I have kept it in the same tank since i bought it. A 250 liter, but will have to upgrade sooner or later

Hello and welcome to The Puffer Forum. At 17'' and 250 liter = 66 gallon US yes to be honest you are pass the sooner than later, time for a upgrade for your guy.

Sorry for the wrong post at the beginning. He's not 17 INCHES. 17 centimetres is the correct size.

It's always nice to see other Scandinavians here. Vinker fra Norskesiden av grensa.

I've always stayed away from films or TV-series with Beck, and that's because the books are so good. I want to keep the books as a good memory.

Härligt med några fler Nordbor;)


I prefier tv-series. Much easier to follow

Well I don't know if we will get access to 'Beck', but I've loved Wallander and if that's any indication of what's to come, I will be most anxious to see Beck.

Welcome, great looking Fahaka.

Thank you!

Here's some more pictures.
