Pic of Puffy

Sorry, the outside glass is a mess, I moved the tank to the other side of the computer desk today, and made a mess changing his water.

The inside glass is clean...lol...
This is only his q-tank, I started adding a little marine salt today... he really loves it!

Hey Angela, what size tank is he going into? And I'm sure you're aware these guys can go full SW right?

He will be in a 30g tank. If not bigger. Yea that is one of the cool things about him, the abilty to go into a full sw tank...
Im thinking slowly raising his salinity until he gets to full sw.

He is adorable! (Sexed? He? She?) I must agree that you guys are really making it hard to resist getting a puffer. I bought one when I was a teenager (and without desire to research proper fish care). It was about an inch long and looked sick. Died shortly after coming home. But so cute!

I asked my LFS if they ever got any or could order any. Both were a No.

I guess I will continue to live vicariously through you all. (Thanks)

I had a lfs tell me they could order any puffer I wanted (thats a dangerous thing to tell a fish addict!)

On a serious note, yes they can go full saltwater. If you look on the map where they are from it varies from brackish to full salt. I will say this, since I put the salt in Puffy's tank he has been super happy.

(I don't know the sex, I hear its very hard to determine in GSP's)

Martinsmommy, I don't know about w/ clownfish. I would say PFP would know..

Well well well.. I found out why Puffy was snobbing food..
I put a snail in his tank, and as soon as it got on the glass he picked it off. (very small pond snails)
I guess the next feeding is going to be bloodworms.

What kind of clowns are they? Percs, false percs, ocellaris, etc?

Ask them if they're order you in a Map puffer (the largest puffer in the world lol)
And in GSPs only way to tell the sex is dissection

He's really cute! I've never seen one with such a long tail, is that normal?

Yeah, that's pretty normal... usually when they're at the stores their tails are all bitten up and they don't fan them out as much...

Yeah, but that looks really big to me... longer than the fish, I'm looking at your avatar, his isn't that big.

Well I'm betting Angela's is a younger one than Garth. Probably just hasn't grown into his tail yet

Oh, I just figured it out. The roots of the plastic plants? Yeah, I thought that was part of the tail.... I feel a wee bit silly now.

Haha, I was wondering.... didn't seem that big to me...

I know, I was like 'geez, are you sure it isn't a funny lookin betta?' Kind of freaked me out for a while there.
