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.

Those are the cutest little puffers I have ever seen.....That gaunard is sweet as well....At least that's what it looks like anyway...

LAst one Devil Scorpion It looks to me?
Cool little puffer where did you find those at?

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!

i wonder how reef safe those puffers are...

 

[MarvinsReef]

nice looking fishes there...

btw, I'm moving this to the right forum..

Thanks..

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.
