Anyone want freshwater puffers?

Don't think it's ethical to mention the stores name here, but I can tell you its in durban.

They were as wide as their length.

Did some research after that visit and found out they are definitely not suited for a home aquarium. If you are attracted to figure 8 puffers, you should see the Mbu puffers.

They were only going for R160 if I remember correctly.

 

"These fish are fascinating to watch,they have cartoon like faces and often blink and yawn. Tetraodotoxin is the toxin present in these species of fish and is responsible for the deaths of substantial amount of sushi eaters!! Specially trained Fugu Sushi chefs are trained to remove the poison."

great

 

Ok maybe the thing I read was labbled wrong

 

mbu are aka the giant puffer fish. . . anyway whose stil keen on the red eye puffers?

 

I'm still keen on one red eye puffer ^^, preferably male.

 

now we just need 8 more people!

 

Have just read that they're fairly aggressive, even towards their own kind... would this include the females? If not, then maybe I'll get 2 females as they look prettier than the males do.

Otherwise I'll be happy with just one... doesn't matter if its male or female lol sorry for the confusion.

 

Any more news on this Dolphin? I'll take a male and female if it's still happening......

 

not enough people want puffers so yeah unless more people want then it can't happen

 

Is that even possible? What's wrong with everyone - puffers, especially these ones, are absolutely awesome. They have huge personalities and this particular puffer requires very little tank space - come on guys/gals, you don't know what you're missing - seriously :blink1::bigsmile:

 

What are the prices of the puffers?
I would be interested in a few of them if they would be able to go into a 100lt tank?

 

ill check the pm from dolphin and let you know now. im sure we discussed price in this thread ?

 

Check the first post. Brads mentioned they'd be approx. R45 each ^^,

 

i would love to have a sexed pair - LOADS of snails for them

 

They can get agro in a community tank and do a LOT of damage for their size.

 

I dont mind getting two, male and female.

 

I would not put them into a comunity tank I would rather start a spieces tank for them

 

gareth is on the money! they are beter in their own tank . troy they will not work in your tank they will tear all your fish apart .

 

I have another tank. 70X30X35, if thats big enough. Brothers last fish died so i bought the tank for R250 with everything hahaha sucker.

 

Edit:

never mind, just cracked the dam thing!!!!!!!!!!
