  • Is anybody selling a FW Puffer? Or any stores in Houston?

    I want to buy a Freshwater puffer that doesnt get bigger than about 6-8 inches.

    I havent been in a fish store in quite a while, so if anybody knows where they sell them/ or has a puffer they no longer want, let me know. Ive seen the GreenSpotted at several walmarts, but they look shabby and theres some debate as to whether theyre fresh or brackish

    Thanks

    The Fish Ranch II is your place. We were there last weekend. They have several different types. They had a red T. miurus that I would love to have if I only had the room. They also had a couple of other types.

      I agree....FishRanch has a lot of them along with CityPets....I think both have the trigger puffers which are awesome looking!

        I tried searching for pictures of a trigger puffer, and only came back with saltwater fish.

        I think i'll pay both those stores a visit. thanks both.

          Yes yes yes. Fish Ranch has so many different puffers that I saw on Sunday...but I don't know anything about them other than they were in the FW section...check out the red and grey ones in one of the first tanks, I think behind that big planted display tank when you first walk in to the FW section.

                  Ohhh...I wanna say something like $35? I know one was more expensive than the other. But I can't be positive.

                  Using ek's link, this is what they looked like (well, the grey one, at least)

                  Pufferfish, although a great addition to your tank, require special care. Learn about different types of freshwater puffer fish...

                    I want to say the grey one was $29 and the red Miurus was $39.

                        To be honest, I don't know much about puffers. I think puffers are cool. I try to get as much information as possible at thepufferforum, but those people seem a bit crazy IMHO. How big a tank do you have your MBU in?

                          150, but its plenty for him at the moment. always looking for a bigger tank though

                            I wouldn't neccessarily call a mbu 'peaceful' although they may seem that way in a tank by themselves, or any puffer for that matter. Unless you keep them extremely well fed, they'll end up eating small fish at night or chomping off huge chunks of larger fish's dorsal fins. Ask me how I know.
