The Puffer Forum

Hello all!
I am a returning puffer owner and stubled across this forum on learning about my new red eye puffer (I beleive he is a red eye red tail but i cannot be 100% OR that it is a he...lol) All i know i already love it and wish to make a happy home for him/her. I have some questions which i will save for another thread unless i am allowed to post them here.

I look forward to getting to know you all and my little red eye

here is a pic:


His tail is usually not curled, he was feeding and i caust him mid turn...lol

Anyway, thanks for your time!

I like that bubble wall in the back. Helps oxygenate the water and higher temperatures since the water is less oxygenated. I like the looks of your puffer. One thing I would have went with live sand instead of rock to help balance out your PH, just food for thought. Sweet looking puffer.

This is a purely FW fish so live sand would not survive. If the water pH is low then aragonite substrate in the filter helps.

its 100% a red eyed red tailed puffer you have there

Thanks all for the Welcome and I hope everyone had a great new Year

So we had a scare with some bad water but all is good now and hes is chubby and happy again:


I am going to rescape the tank soon with more plants, a lot less red gravel and some homemade LED moonlighting
