Got us some puffers
« on: April 23, 2014, 09:09:43 AM »
Well, a trip to Fantastic Fins resulted in us coming home with (3) spotted puffers and (3) Figure 8 puffers.

We have them in a 40 gallon tank and they are doing great so far.

Always wanted puffers, but hesitant as I cant seem to get into fish that just sit and hide all the time. 

So, we'll try these guys.  Really active and great eaters so far.  All about the same size... roughly 2" I would say.

Fed them some brine shrimp and blood worms so far.  Like the blood worms much more than the brine shrimp I would say.

Also set up a 10 gallon for feeder snails. We'll try feeding some after I am sure they are reproducing.

Have fun with them.  The GSP puffers will need full marine and a separate tank down the road, FYI.  Figure 8s should do great in light brackish for life.  I have one on my desk at work - lots of fun to keep.  Great fish.
