I am trying to move a large puffer I need my 125 gallon tank for other fishes.
I have spent some time trying to identify this puffer and then put it up for sale in this forum, it is a saltwater Striped Burrfish, the name is
Chilomycterus schoepfi
I have taken a few pictures, he is about 10 to 11" it is hard to measure because of the obvious reasons, if he gets stressed you know what happens.
I inherited this fish from some lady that could not take care of it anymore and she said she caught it wild while she was in Texas, 2 years ago.
I want someone here to help me price it so I could offer it for sale.
He is a beautiful specimen, his large eyes change colors from iridescent green, cobalt blue to orange yellow.
This fish has and interesting behavior, he comes at you when you get near him and looks at you in the same way a puppy looks at you, it is actually freakiesh, his eyes are large and popped so they move around following your moves, so get to the edge of the tank and looks at you, as if he was saying: "you got anything for me, dude", he is very active never rest and he is always watching whomever is in the living room.
I feed him 2 uncooked peeled shrimps a day, the lady told me she buys the shrimp at he grocery store at the frozen section, so he is cheap to keep.
I only had this fish with me for about 2 weeks, I never intended to keep it, but he really grows on you fast and everyone is already attached to him.
I need my tank and that is why I want to sell him.
Let the pictures tell the story:
