I'm curious - what type of puffers do our puffer members own? what's the most popular puffer?

hmm well i have a dwarf puffer... i heard of alot of people having on here green spotted.. and some having figure 8s. actually i dont know if there is a difference between a green spotted and figure 8 is there...? it would be kewl if someone had a porcupine

Yes the Green spotted puffer needs full saltwater, where the figure 8 puffer needs only brackish.
I think dwarf puffers are the most common puffer. I don't have any yet but I am getting one.

I have TWO spotted puffers in a 30 gal tank, FRESHWATER tank...doing wonderful!
The spotted puffers are for freshwater!

COBettaCouple

do you have pics of them to post?

hey i thought spotted puffers were brackish water..yea post pics theyre about twice the size as dwarfs arent the how many inches r they

JasmynJade

My two are about 1 & 1/2 long so far. They are getting chunky...I'm feeding them too much, I think!
I thaw frozen bloodworms and hold them above the water on a plastic spoon, and they will come out of the water to get
them. It's like teaching a puppy to sit up....LOL!!!

Well, good luck to ya!! I wish they would not have fish to sell.....they neglect them!!

COBettaCouple

yea.. walmart's "screw you" policies don't tend to be favorable to live fish.

JasmynJade

AMEN!!!!! Everytime I go there, I see tons of DEAD fish in all of the tanks...fish killers!

When you post, go to advanced options and follow the links to uploading a picture. Voilaaa!

BettaCouple, after a brief bout of puffer research (that you inspired this morning, btw), I came across this bit of information: dwarf puffers are by far the most sold puffers in the pet trade.

well it makes sense... theyre different and the only puffer that can handle saltwater.

I tried to attach a pic and it said my file was too big...don't know how to change it!!!

COBettaCouple

do you have any picture editing software? you just need to resize your photo smaller to get it to a smaller filesize.

JasmynJade

Thanks, I'll give it a try soon!!!!

JasmynJade

I'm hoping I done it right this time......Here is Mr. Puffer, I hope!
