si_sphinx Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I didn't know puffer fish were here. Is that a small rock cod and a terikei possibly, maybe not. i havnt seen them unless they are at the end of a rod :lol: and a lot bigger.

Carlos & Siran Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 That was my guess too, think the black band behind it's head gives it away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos & Siran Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 so if the puffer is tropical will it be OK in that tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketman Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Should be ok. They sub-tropical really.We used to get them in Durban, S.A all the time. In winter it might need some heating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
