wow - amazing pics!

how large is your tank? do you have problems with them getting along?

digital-audiophile 11-25-2007 03:38 PM

Sweet! Is your tank puffer only?

Der_Iron_Chef 11-25-2007 03:42 PM

Cute. I'll bet feeding time is interesting!

Skimmer Juice 11-25-2007 07:44 PM

The fish acctually get along great. Feeding time can be a bit tricky, getting enough food in at one time so they dont bite each other.

Der_Iron_Chef 11-25-2007 10:37 PM

I'll bet (re: feeding time). How big are all of them?

Hey didn't you have a Mapp Puffer?

Skimmer Juice 11-26-2007 07:22 PM

My avatar is actualy the same fish in the pics he changed color. The mappa puffer is the one in the picture. I belive it is the tri color mappa. The mappa is about a foot right now, the dogface is about 7inches, the porcs ae around 7-8 inches.

I saw your puffer yesterday! Very cute!

Delphinus 11-26-2007 10:10 PM

Do they ever squirt water at you to tell you to hurry up and feed them? I knew a guy who's puffer would do that. "Hey! <squirt squirt> You there! <squirt> over here! Come on man!! Hurry up with the food already!!"

Sweet pictures BTW :)

Skimmer Juice 11-26-2007 10:39 PM

No they have not sprayed me. My cowfish however has a habit of doin it.

Yes, all my cowfish (Helmet & Longhorn) did this spitting at me too. Although I did have a dogface puffer that did that years back. Both my puffers (porcupine and star stripes) have not done this.

Very interesting that it changed color like that. They are so vibrant when younger. I learned something new.

nice pics!

KennyKen 11-28-2007 12:15 AM

Do you have any pics of them puffed up.
I never actually seen any photos of that.

surgeonfish 11-28-2007 03:52 AM

Nice pictures. How big is the tank they are in?

Skimmer Juice 11-28-2007 07:05 PM

They are in a 130 but iam building a 300g real quick. Within 6 months, they are not overstocked yet. I have one pic of him puffed up. My puffers dont seem to ever puff up unless I startel them

KennyKen 11-28-2007 09:22 PM

perhaps you could post that pic,
im curious to see it.
