The Puffer Forum

I do not own any GSPs but found these pictures on the website of a local store. I have to admit they look cute while puffed up though it is a terrible thing to do to a puffer.

Its these kind pictures that tempts those ignorants to buy them coz they looked "cute". I bet the guys in the shops will not hesitate to show u how to puff them up and I would bet again that those that bought them after seeing this will attempt to try it when they are home with the poor little guys.

Idiot shop.

I agree and can confirm for you that the employees at the offending store are indeed ignorant. I asked about the GSPs there several weeks ago and they said they can be kept in a 44 liter (10 gallon) tank and that "pure" salt can be used to make the water brackish.

Here is the page where the pictures are from:

If you go to the main page of the site and scroll down, there is a video they made on how to set up a tank for GSPs, and the tank that they used is a 27 liter

It's a shame these shops employ such dimwits, why not employ someone who knows how to care for them instead of try to kill them?

Arrghhh! It would be a treat to observe my GSPs puffing... but not like that!
