Hi!
My first new topic
.
I'm finally decided to buy a puffer. And I want an active and aggressive one.
Which one of the freshwatherpuffers are the most aggressive? (Besides the fahaka, Cu's I don't have enough room for It, an its almost impossible to get here in Noway!)
Ive been thinking of a palembangensis because of the size and color. Or maybe a suvatii.
Which puffer do you recommend?

What size tank do you have? Either the suvattii or miurus.

They are not that active...My congo is much more active than my palembangenis.
And what do you mean by aggressive...puffers by nature are aggressive. The puffers you have mentioned should be housed alone...so not sure where you are going to see the aggression.

Also, since you shouldn't be feeding them live food (except for a few worms), no big shows with any of them. All puffers tear ar their food though.

My tank is about 50 gallons I think. (180 L)
I just think Its fascinating and interesting to see real aggressive fish behavior. I know I shouldn't feed them feeders, but occasionally I give them some live snack that has been i quarantine for a while. I know I'm not the only one who does that
.
Ive know that the puffers aggression and activity vary amongst the species, and I was just wondering if some of you have seen the difference by experience!
But of course this cud be individual from the puffers personality, but its nice to get some replies anyway!
Thanks for answers everyone!!

So what do you have?
If you want to see them tear something up, better to feed them a crab or crayfish.

Hey LL - "pumpkin" is doing great. Eats out of my hand and is very much a laid back soul. She has been a nice addition to our family.
I'll try and get some new pics of her up soon.
