My puffer is killing all my fish, help

Yes, you can try with other GSPs

30 gallons minimum per GSP..

It is not a waste, they are highly intelligent fish that recognize their owners and will interact.

Got any pics...(we love puffer pics)

Heres the little monster!

 

[purplecandle]

Symmetrical spots above the eyes!

He will be a fat little golf ball with a tail!

Can't you set up that 30 for him?

 

[fhawk362]

Yea I will have to, I need a stand but I have everything else, kinda been waiting for a freeby stand, at my apt complex people are always throwing furniture out.

 

[fhawk362]

You should see him after he kills something, he looks deformed, and rabbid... lol

 

[purplecandle]

AWW, he's just hungry..LOL

Their skin is stretchy so yea when they eat the look a little strange..

 

[fhawk362]

Do these puffers really puff up? I wouldnt want to do it to him cause I know they only do it when stressed ive jsut always been curious. I feed the guy 24/7 lol, he just likes the challenge of killing fish larger than him, thats what i figure lol.

GET RID OF THE PUFFER !! problem solved...

 

[purplecandle]

Yes, all puffers can puff..and they all have spikes..some are just very tiny.

However, GSPs don't puff often IMO

GSP's are notorious killers of other fish. they can be kept together if there is enough space. is he currently in fresh water? They need to be in brackish water eventually.
