This is soo cool

So I have had my puffer for a few days now. I did a small water change about 20 minutes ago. So I get out of my chair to start the discus wc and this is what I see him puffed up using the power head to blow sand off him. I can't believe I seen him puff so soon. It only lasted a minute now he is back hunting lol. So amazing I just had to share

[Hondatek]

Marine it's a porcupine puffer . I wish I got more pictures but I was stuck staring in amazement

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

lol do you know how big they get i think i want one now

 

[Hondatek]

15 inches is the average max size that I found through my research

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

yikes might have to wait on that one. yours is so cute and tiny

 

[Hondatek]

Yea he is pretty small . You can't really tell from the pic but he had spikes coming out everywhere including his face

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

lol sounds like an awesome fish

 

[hackteck]

i always wanted a puffer fish

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

i want so many now you think if i got that 24 jbj i could keep one in there?

 

[Hondatek]

Yea he is awesome I'm glad I got him instead of a lion fish. They are extremely active fish . Fun to watch

 

[Hondatek]

Um not sure what a24 jbj is .

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

its a nano cube tank 24gallons

 

[Hondatek]

No that's way to small. They are messy fish. The minimum is 75 gallon but some say 100 plus minimum but I got mine in a 75 but it's a one fish tank. I plan to get a 25 gallon sump to handle the bio load when he gets bigger.

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

aww now im sad lol i guess hes gonna be the puppy in the window you can look but not have

 

[Hondatek]

Lol . Or you can do what all fish people do and fall for a fish and buy a big ol tank

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

[Hondatek]

O ok I got a one bedroom apt with 2 75 gallons a 45 a 33 long and a 29 lol it's my own place so I just filled it with tanks
