The Puffer Forum

A LFS had 2 pignosed puffers for sale for $20 each--I've never seen one of those before! They are cool looking!! Anyone know anything about them? He said they are freshwater puffers. He also had 2 Fakaha puffers for $50 each--they were about 7-8" each, is that a good price for them?

Check out pufferlist.com. Its a Tetraodon
suvattii.

ans yes, $50 is an ok price for a fahaka of that size, particularly if it is healthy.

pig nose puffers seem to need a very specialized setup--deep sand etc. They are cool looking fish though!! Perhaps someday I will look into getting one.

Easier than keeping a fahaka!

Well, PP all puffs are easy if you have the time and space for them

I have a 5 inch Pig nose should grow to 6 inch's
Always looking for more
They require at least 4-5 inch of sand
places to hide amongst rocks driftwood
they eat krill,shrimp,live fish,anything they can eat they will really..

I am looking into breeding them should be fun

hear he is

Mine only requires enough sand to burry everything but his eyes. He's not quite 5 inches though. For some reason the ones that I have seen don't sleep in the sand. They seem to like sleeping on rocks.

My fahaka costed $90 and it was about 4 inches. Get the fahaka if you have a big enough tank.

I don't, or I would buy one

My arrowhead only very rarely buries itself, instead preferring the cover of tiger lotus and crypts.

I recently discovered that it loves mussels. Never saw it go quite so crazy for food.

If there are any places that sell large live shrimp (asian markets are your best bet) look into getting a few. Suvattiis go crazy for live inverts.
