I Have Puffs!

These are freshwater puffers

Are you sure those puffers belong in freshwater? I have heard many MANY people say brackish with the exception of pea puffers in freshwater. Anyone care to discuss?

Sure. These live their entire lives in FW, like several other species. The "problem" with puffers in the hobby is that true FW puffers are not easy to find and the brackish ones that are far more common give the illusion of being FW because they are find as juveniles.

Although we are very much still in a period of transition with the fishroom and I have no business bringing home more fish, I couldn't resist these avocado puffers (Auroglobius modestus). We're feeding them pond snails and frozen mysis, and will soon try fresh seafood. I named them Thing 1 and Thing 2. . ]

Very cool pick up, they are seldomly seen around here.

Nice puffers. Have you ever kept amazon puffers

I'm curious to find out why you refer to them as "amazon puffers" as they're not native to that region?

I've seen figure of eight puffers in the fish ship and it says they have to be kept in single species tanks but they're still really cool

Just love puffers, was looking at some golden dwarfs today. But I would love to have an avocado puffer. I pick avocados seasonally on my grandparents farm, and I love avocado.

Good luck with your puffers=)

My Lfs sold them as amazon puffers for a while so I was confused too

Haha they look like they're really enjoying themselves! Judging from that video i can tell those two aren't aggressive to eachother at all. One snail between the two of them and no nipping!
