The Puffer Forum

Dropped by an Aquarium store in Fort Worth Texas called Fish 2 Morrow. In there they have a gigantic Stars & Stripes puffer in a 560 gallon tank!

The tank measured 10'x3'x3' (yes in feet) The puffer was about 18 inches long.

They've gotta stop feeding that thing!

Yea he is a proper porker

Maybe he is just trying to blend in with the texans.

Huge +1 to all the above - what a fatty!

If it makes you feel any better, Europe isn't much different I think.

well, maybe not obesity but we do overweight decently enough if I look around where I live, myself included.

I thought he looked pretty healthy

Certainly a healthy appetite lol

I hope nobody buys him! You know he won't get a tank that big if he leaves the store!

I would assume he is the store mascot

A LFS here also keeps one as the store pet. He doesnt look as good though

That is correct. This is a show tank and he is not for sale. They did just feed him so he would be more interactive so I could get the shots.

Hey sgt. I dont suppose youd be able to get a vid of this puffer next time you go there

Wow.. what a thing!

id be afraid if mine ever got that big.
