Y618 Update, 4 Palembangs, 0 Fahakas, lots of GSPs

Btw qqsad, i dont think they are ceylon puffers, they look more like Figure 8s.

nope there are still 7-8 fahakas. i think he missed them.

More pics:



They are ceylon puffers, notice the figure 8 head and gsp body combination. The pic of ceylon in previous post is taken 3 months back. My ceylon is larger by 1.5x compared to the pic.

I had figure 8(f8) previously too. But f8's is dead due to being bitten by ceylon and green spotted. Ceylon and green spotted living happily together for 1/2 a year already.

Cheers!

Wha... I really missed them? I did look around quite thoroughly though.. Hmmm... Do they put them on the floor like they usually do to all their puffers?

Oh? I've always thought ceylons and F8s differ by a white belly with F8s having the white belly... Hmmm...

Hi,
Welcome to AF.

can share more details on the teeth trimming and ur tank/water spec...

Trimming once per 4-6months once if ur puffer not v aggresive eater type. But it may differ from different species to species. Noticing that your puffers not eating for 2-3 may means their teeth had overgrow. Buy clove oil(main ingredient is eugenol) from clinic or shop selling toothache remedies. But pls note that eugenol is not good for fish health. Best way is still to let ur fish grin their teeth naturally.

For tank setup, no real detail to share. Just make sure ur fish belly is white always would mean they are living good most of the time.

i just bought 2 figure 8's..and does the gold puffer be put in saltwater?

You mean gold(avocado) puffer? Or gold(guinea fowl) puffer?

Try not to mix f8 with aggressive puffers bigger size than them.

Avocado will do fine in FW and a small tank. Guinea fowl puffer should be marine with a big big big big tank.

mine is a avacado..just die of white spot n cloudy eye...

Condolence. Price range should be $2-$4 for buying one i suppose?

wow very sharp accuracy...figure 8 ....FW puffer???
