puffer

so my wife came home with a baby puffer today because she said it was too adorable to leave at the store. She got it from a chain store and the worker said he wasn’t sure what exactly it is but thought it is a GSP. I’m thinking it is a dwarf puffer but I truthfully don’t know. I have a GSP now...

Some photos of South Florida Checkered Puffers or Sphoeroides testudineus. These guys are all over West Lake Park in Hollywood Florida. Very cute little guys. Check out my blog for a full article. http://coolgobyfish.blogspot.com/2018/02/south-florida-checkered-puffer-fish.html

Noticed this morning my puffer was stuck to my filter sponge and when I touched him he swam away fine but he seems to have trouble staying up right.

I want a brackish tank with archer fish, i am thinking 1.005 salinity. FISH I DO NOT WANT: Puffers the tank is 99 gallon so what good looking fish can be in brackish water?

TLDR; Baby Fahaka sucked in air. After trial and error and a few days in critical condition I popped him. Now he's a perfectly healthy little terror. Alright, so before I begin to tell the story of how I ended up with a baby Fahaka I do want to say that some of you may not agree with the...

I have recently aquired a porc puffer from my lfs. I had them qt the fish in a sterile copper treated system for 3 weeks. The cloud or abrasion look to it's eyes were clear it was swimming randomly through the tank not sitting or pacing. It was making valiant efforts at feeding. I brought it...

I have a 200 litre 45UK gallon aquarium I will divide it into 3 compartments a 20gallon area, 15 gallon area and a 10 gallon area I was thinking the following but open to more unusual ideas 20 gallon (option 1) X2 keyhole cichlids/rams don't know X15 cardinal tetras X2 angelfish (Peru altum)...

Just a few pics I got after feeding. . Finally got a new phone so I'll be posting my tanks in never shown.

I bought 4 Amazon PUFFER-FISH, all low down at the bottom like dead. After a few hours they moved around a bit and then lied down. I have snails in the tank and some guppies. They are not eating anything .I tried frozen tubiflex worms, they didn't eat them. Also they are very shy. When They see...

On my podcast Facebook page where I post my tropical fish show, I post a weekly Wednesday tropical fish blog where I post freshwater and saltwater fish profiles and other tropical fish topics. I decided that because some of you may not have Facebook that I would post my blogs here for you all to...

Just looking for care and over all more info from experienced people since I find mixed info online. Iv been looking for a full fw puffer for my lightly planted 20 long and was wondering if this guy would fit? Tankmates? Size? Do they require teeth trimming? If so how often?

I'm setting up a 20 long, stock will be a f8 puffer and bumblebee gobies, I'm using eco complete as substrate, around an inch deep ( tell me if I need more) I have a finnex 24/7 planted plus and I would love to do a at least slightly planted tank, I love the look of a carpet grass look with...

Recently saw this vid and loved how to filter basically disappeared. I have a 20 long and want to do the exact same so my main question is could I put some bio balls behind it? That way I could just use some from my other filters and cycle instantly, maybe add a small air stone underneath the...

Hey guys, my supplier just got a batch of these puffers. They are supposedly fully FW. Does any one know anything about them?

I bought this at feeders supply on an impulse buy because I want to use it for my 20 gallon long brackish setup for a puffer and gobies but I didn't think about how rocks affect the water. My tap is neutral ph and fairly soft and puffers and gobies need higher ph and hardness so could I use this?

One in a million. 14K passed away only a few weeks after his rescue from complications, due to Quality Pets recommended starvation diet at Walmart. Puffers DON'T eat flakes.

Hi puffer experts, can I get a positive ID of this puffer? It looks marine to me but they are kept in FW by my supplier and other importers. Some have been kept for a few years in pure FW without any problems they assured me. I personally think these look really nice but don't know much about them.

I am planning on purchasing a Miurus Puffer (Congo Puffer). I have other fish such as oscars so I know how to do general cleaning. My question is should I be worried about my puffer biting me while cleaning the tank. I really don't want bit. Will it bite me and if so how do I fix this?
