Puffer thread #8

[Occellatus]

Bro Freshman, ur fahaka very nice....i like the yellowish belly!

Its good to compile a list for all the freshwater and saltwater puffers.....can serve as a one stop database. But then again, i think its alittle too early...cause some of us, including myself, is so new to puffers...now only know mostly freshwater ones like REs, DPs, Fahakas, SAPs and some saltwater species like F8s, Ceylon.

Think will need some time for this club to turn pro.

Well....i guess adding in a heater, with temp set to about 30 degrees would help.....give it some time bro....normally, to treat fishes, u need about a week or more.
