are those bumble bee puffers??? ;)

i LOOOOOOVE those little guys!! i'm assuming you can acclimate them from a brackish to saltwater environment right?


i had some little dwarf puffers to keep the snail population down in my freshwater planted tank a couple years ago. LOVED those little guys. they are by FAR my favorite of all fish (puffers that is). very intelligent!

i just had trouble keeping the dwarf puffers alive b/c they would only eat snails. and they ate them alot faster than i could bread them. :(

Wow...awesome puffers...how small are they? They look really small in the pics. Their coloration is amazing and really stands out against the corals.

hehehe - those are pictures from a dive I did on Bussleton Jetty, in Western Australia. I have no idea what kind of puffers they are, but on the jetty they ranged from 3 inches long to over 5 inches long - some big mommas!

The name of the other fish escapes me, I think it may be a gunard perch. It is venomous, we saw two of them and they told us to stay clear!

hehe - I figured the lounge was the right forum as they are not really aquarium fish =P

As far as them being reef safe... there sure were a lot of them on this artificial reef!

I can post more pictures of the dive later if people are interested.
