NoobtoSalt Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Well this tank has been getting neglected so I have now our him and the lobster in the frag tank. I plan to keep the lobster for the time being but need to get rid of the puffer before I add my corals. Not sure if it will nip at them but I'm not taking a chance. Asking $ 10 or trade for frags Check the puffer build thread for pictures. It would be better if it was in a larger tank than a ten gallon as well.

NoobtoSalt Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 Here's a picture of when I got it. It's about an 1 1/2"-2" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfisher Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Those are super friendly fish, very curious and fun to watch! You shouldnt have a problem re-homming him/her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 I moved it to the 27 cube last night and it seems to be much happier in a bigger tank. If it doesn't get sold in the next few days I will just take it back to the LFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisriverfisherman Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Jesse Im pretty sure that puffers don't eat coral. the reason why they aren't reef safe is because they will eat inverts ie. snails, ornamental shrimp, clams, snails, hermits. Im sure he will be fine with some of your prized zoanthids.(naughty) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjohnwoody Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I want a puffer so bad! I wish I had a second predator tank and I would get one for sure. I hear they have amazing personalities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear they have amazing personalities. __________________ The puffer that noob has is a smaller variety and does well with others of the same species. If I didn't have 4 tanks going, I would set up a tank specifically for these guys. Clay has had them ( before they were eaten by a larger fish) and they are hillarious to watch. They fall under the " I don't need another fish or tank, but now that I have them I wish I would have gotten them earlier" thing. If any newer hobbiest's are reading along, these are easy to keep and great pets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwheeler Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 What kind of puffer is it? and do you still have it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 Still have it. I think its called a green spotted puffer but I will check for sure when I get home from work.

NoobtoSalt Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Bump. Still have this little guy. He needs a new home soon.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 If I remeber right they are a brackish puffer. So they can go into both marine and brackish set ups. Might be worth calling around to a FW store about possible trade-ins too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the lobster doesn't do well it will go to the shop as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwheeler Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Do you think it would do good with a saddle back puffer in a 24 gallon aqua pod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Do you think it would do good with a saddle back puffer in a 24 gallon aqua pod? I have no idea. I do know that when I first got the fish I also had a psuedochromis and it was gone from the tank shortly after that. But it hasn't bothered the lobster and I've had the lobster now for 3 months or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwheeler Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 O well I have a purple psuedochromis as well so I don't want that to disappear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
