illusionz_NZ Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 I would like to know who has one of these uglies and what they keep them with, and if people keep one or more together. I have just bought one, thought it was so ugly I had to have it.......very cool. :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 They are awesome, and If I had a longer tank that my current 2ft ones I would get a heap of them. Ive seen them eat fish that should just not be able to fit in their mouths but somehow do :lol: its amazing to watch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illusionz_NZ Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 um yeah. he is only about 6cm and i had nowhere to put him till i sort tanks out for my next move so he went in with my baby cichlids of 2cm...............tasty wee snack he has just had lol. big fat round belly now. :lol: I am hoping to keep him with an arowana , borneo tiger, and something else when i figure that out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 hmm. i think a large borneo tiger would have him as a snack. I wish I had the space for a slightly longer tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 They can get to 20cm, but its almost unheard of in captivity. Real slow growing, even compared to a datnoid. Would end up as a snack for the aro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illusionz_NZ Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 and these guys are poisonous if we get pricked by there fins? if eaten by another fish like an arrow would it kill them like when someting bigger eats a pufferfish as I have heard from the toxins?

phoenix44 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 A while ago i heard someone say something about red eye puffers being poisonous and researched a lot but didn't find any info to support that. Ive read a lot about nandus nandus as well, and have not read that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
