puffer

Howdy y'all, I have a tiny blue pelagic puffer for sale (also maybe a 4" one as well). I got the opportunity to buy two of them one at 1 -1.5 inch size and a 4-5" sized one. As of right now I'm listing the tiny one since I may have gotten a bit trigger happy. So far this guy has been a real...

My beloved Green Spotted Puffer has recently developed a swollen lower belly near its anus and been making stringy poop. He was doing fine for a few days and still eating, but recently stopped. He went a few days without eating and didn’t show signs of improvement. I’ve got him in a breeding box...

Hey yall, I currently have an empty 40g tank that has been torturing me to create it into something. I'm trying to decide what to do with it. I am toying with this idea of converting it into a predator tank. In terms of stocking, I dont want a ton of fish cause I don't want a lot of...

Panda Puffers (Arothron diadematus) come from the Western Indian Ocean and Red Sea, generally in shallowish water (less than 50 feet or so) around coral reefs. Like all fish from this region of the world, they are rarer in north America than many of the other puffers you'll see. Pandas are...

Hey everyone, I watch a lot of videos across animal husbandry in general and I've noticed that freshwater vampire crabs breed like rabbits! These predatory little crabs need to be kept in a freshwater paludarium but they seem to produce a LOT of babies so I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried...

Hi, I have a 35 gallon with just a few fish, mostly corals. I already have a valentini & a Randall’s goby. I am wondering whether a pistol shrimp would be safe with the puffer in the tank. This one has eaten all of my emerald crabs. I’m not sure if the shrimp & goby will be able to hold their...
