WI-Saddle Valentini puffer

[christopherkath]

I bought this cute little guy before I know he liked my corals as much as I do, just for a different reason. He's healthy and aprox 1.5 " . $20.

how big does he get?

 

[christopherkath]

He will grow up to 4"

 

[Fluff]

It is a saltwater fish that only gets to be about four inches.

lol we posted at the same time.

 

[MattP725]

I had one and he was really pretty cool until he was victim of an unfortunate power head accident.

 

[krap101]

whats the min tank size?

 

[christopherkath]

They say min. tank size is 30 gal. I have him in my nano now and I dont think a fish thats max size is 4" would be a problem in it.

 

[MattP725]

I would keep him in a 40 atleast because mine loved to swim around.

 

[christopherkath]

anyone want to make an offer before I deciced I have to flush him?

 

[MattP725]

There is no reason for that... give him to a LFS. You would rather kill him than donate him to someone that will take care of him?

 

[Brenden]

Can you take him back to the store?

 

[christopherkath]

No I can't take him back and the LFS is closed as it is changing ownership. I wouldn't flush him if I had other choices.

I wouldn't flush him if I had other choices.

You do have other choices. They are just too much effort for you. Others have offered to take the fish, you wont ship. Suggestions have been made for temporary housing for the fish til you found someone who wanted it. You didnt like that idea either.

The fact is, you place such little value on the life of this fish that you could just care less about doing anything other than posting a message on a board.

Your comment of flushing the fish was intended to rile up the readers and conscientous fishkeepers of this board. Congratulations, it worked. You are officially a troll in my book.

One more comment about flushing the fish and I will lock and remove this thread. We do not promote inhumane treatment of any animal.

I wouldn't think I'd even have to issue a warning like this, but apparently I do.
