Zev Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Puffers always look so cute - pity they are such vicious little things when it comes to tank mates Very nice pics too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakaway Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Is this a 'real' freshwater fish? Or is it one of those species that people keep in freshwater as juveniles and go saltwater as they grow into adults? According to internet they're freshwater, but I'd like to hear from experienced people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henward Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 these are a real fw pufer hope you can breed them! and keep this species in nz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatito Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 these are a real fw pufer hope you can breed them! and keep this species in nz. Wow, are they a dwarf puffer? Do you know if they can co-habitate with the Carinotetraodon travancoricus? They're gorgeous, and of course the females are the prettiest I agree with henward, would love to see these guys around, i never even knew of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 They are territorial so keeping them with dwarf puffers would be a mission unless the tank was really large. I personally would not mix them cause the travancoricus are really small and the red eyes get to be a fair few inches in length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakaway Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 They're way bigger than the Carinotetraodon travancoricus. Wouldn't try it myself, unless the tank is enormous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
