The Puffer Forum

tell me if this is a mappa or some other kind of puffer the store said it is not a mappa what do you think it's in the user galleries under jodyj as owner

Looks just like a mappa to me.

this is the mappa that i needed help with the other day he is eating but not alot krill is what he has ate but just a nibble or two

Its my understanding that krill isn't a good staple as it can cause constipation and nutrition issues. Have you tried anything else? Have you tried soaking the food in garlic?

no i will try that just soak the krill or try some thing else what else would you try food wise and any kind of garlic

Nice looking Mappa
Have a look at the feeding article in the library.

Yup, just put the food in a little cup with some tank water and a couple of slices of garlic.

Definitely arothron mappa.

Try offering gut loaded ghost shrimp, squid - especially the tentacles, shrimp with shell on and silversides.

I concur .

I like him hes pretty.
