henward Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 the reason is th tim buying one on the internet, there is only one green spot puffer, aka spotted puffer. this is apparently 10 to 12 cms long which is 5 to 6 inches full length. how long does it take to grow to this size? or can it be anotehr puffer. some people perhaps say that green spotteds are ony 2.5 to 3 inches in max length, hence anyone who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henward Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Tetraodon nigroviridis this above is the only spotted or green spotted puffer that i can find on the net. everything else that has spots are marine. it says, on every site that this fish grows to up to 5to 7 inches. feedback please:D sorry forreplying on my own topics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaNs Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Up to 6″ (15cm), often smaller in aquaria. They need to be kept in backish/marine cond's. NOT freshwater Google has lots of info on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 yeah thats where im lookin so it says in aquaria its smaller. i assume you can maximise its size and potential by making water brackish, not freshwater ? is there any other green spotted puffersthat are smaller?

Dixon1990 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I think i read they HAVE to be in Marine after either 2 or 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are dwarf puffers and full sizes ones Think green spotted are full size puffers Yes, it may not grow to its full size in freshwater. There is a difference between surviving and thriving May be worth looking into dwarf puffers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
