The Puffer Forum

My name is Michael and I am a aquarium enthusiast. I have been part of the hobby for over 20 years now. In the past five years I have been VERY interested in fresh water puffer fish. I have owned C. travancoricus (successfully able to breed them), C. irrubesco, C. borneensis, and T. baileyi. Prior to my puffer obsession, I have owned all kinds of S. American Cichlids with wild Oscars being my favorite. The largest tank I have ever owned was a 500g in the wall tank but now I am only down to one 50g tank

The only puffer that I have now is the T. baileyi named Yozhik (means hedgehog in Russian) in a my 50g species tank.
