yes that's right im a puffer noob, can i ask you puffer fish keepers, i have a green spotted puffer and a unknown puffer but i can show you some pics of it later. now here is my question

how to take care of them?

i heard that puffers are the 2nd most toxic creature in the planet, is this true and how to handle them and how can i avoid being poisoned by this fish?

and what are their tankmates?

how to take care of them? = GSP are brackish water fishes and as they grow they must be accimilated to saltwater, i'd like to know what kind of puffer the other fish is, they need shellfish in thier diet mostly crabs, snails, clams etc. to trim their beak.

i heard that puffers are the 2nd most toxic creature in the planet, is this true and how to handle them and how can i avoid being poisoned by this fish? = By not eating them?

and what are their tankmates? = tankmates, well its all about trial and error actually

for more info you could check www.**************.com
 
i keep smallfishes with my puffer they seemes to avoid getting food but tank mates is hard too have becouse the are agresive
 
Here is info on the: GSP

My guess is if you don't know the ID of the other puffer, it may not belong in BW & could possible be killed by the aggressive GSP.

Please look here for the ID of your other puffer: PUFFERPEDIA
 
ah alright thanks for the tip, btw im concerned about this species of fish, i know that they are very toxic right? by only eating them can i get poisoned?
 
Yup, you'd have to eat one.

the poison is internal. no chance of contacting it.

ah alright that implies to all puffer fish right? i really like have 0 idea on puffer fish and the only thing i know about them is that they have poison deadlier than cyanide.

yes im in asia but not in japan, they are the one who eats puffer fish. but in our country they eat stonefish instead.
