puffer

Hello, I have a 45 gallon tank that I set up last year. I've had two clownfish for nearly 5 months now. I am looking into getting a leopard puffer or a blue spotted puffer but I have some questions first. 1. Is my tank size appropriate for a leopard or toby puffer? I do not have a sump. I see...

Hi All, need some help with diagnosis of a new dog faced puffer added to tank about a week ago. Seems healthy and eating and swimming well but just noticed these small white dots and it panicked me slightly… many thoughts more that welcome, thanks in advance C.

I currently have a Scopas Tang, 2 Clowns, and a Valentino Puffer. I just noticed today that the Tang seems to have 2 bite marks on its back fins. Is it possible the puffer did this or even the clowns? They all seem very calm around each other and even swim together in groups. I have been cutting...

YES I HAVE READ THE TERMS AND AGREE TO THEM. 7” MAPPA PUFFERFISH 350 This guy is like my puppy! He will fallow you all over the tank and eat from your hand. He has been a joy to have since the past year. He was about 3” when I got him and has been a healthy fish and was quarantined before I...

Is this normal? Has him about 6 mo this and never saw. Having a hard time getting rid of it.

I have had a valentini puffer for about 9 months now. He has been a great tank mate. I have been looking through post on them in here since I got him. Reef safe? Thats going to depend on your tank and timing of getting him. Mine is reef safe but he does occasionally pick at a coral but not...

Hi Fellow Reefers, I prefer to give all of my fish that can safely tolerate it a freshwater dip during their 2 month quarantine prior to releasing them into my display tank. I never exceed 5 minute long freshwater dips and remove fish early if I witness any concerning behavior outside of what I...

Hey there my new reef family I hope everyone has had an awesome day. My question is I want corals but i have a honeycomb toby puffer. He loves snails and tries to stalk my hermit crabs from time to time but is a very timid guy. Is there any corals I might be able to get away with and that are...

Hello all today I bought baby Valentini puffer it would be an understatement to say I’ve fallen in love as he is already so interesting but I must now ask, Ive learned they can indeed be coral eaters and while I may not be able to stop it is there any little things people have learned to do to...

Hey all. We got a Hawaiian spotted puffer which was added to a newly setup QT 4 days ago (1.023 gravity, HOB filter, powerhead and air stone available but not always used). We've gone the observation route first so no treatment has been given. We just noticed a few black spots on the puffer (and...

Hello, I want to set up a tank for a Stars and Stripes puffer, I know they need big tanks but how big exactly? My house Is not huge and I don’t want to get something to small so just wondering.

Hello everybody, I recently have fell in love with puffers, and I was wondering if I could keep a blue dotted puffer in a 20 gallon long? Thanks!

Hey all. I’m hoping this isn’t a disease. Anyone know what’s going on with my puffer fish in the image? As of yesterday he stopped eating and now his mouth looks off…. He also is occasionally shooting around the tank like he is trying to get something off. I have had him for over a year, and...

I have a yellowbelly dogface with tons on tiny white spots all over him. His fins are translucent and in the right light when you look at them you can see spots on them, as well as all over his body. I will try to get a good picture of him. I have already removed him from the DT and have him in...

Hello, I’ve recently taken a liking to the saddle Valentini puffer. My question is if it would be happy at home in my tank. My tank is a 32 gallon biocube with mixed corals from sps to softies and a GBTA. Only nails are Tonga nassarius snails and trochus snails. I also have a cleaner shrimp...

Looking to put a very small Toby puffer (leopard or Valentini) in a 20 gallon. Only for a year and then will be moving and upgrading. Would it be possible to get a blenny as well? I hear mixed reviews on Blennies in 20 gallons, I know 30 is usually the minimum recommendation. Thanks!
