Need recommendation for FW puffer

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I seen the Pea Puffers but they are to small for me. I'm the one who actually takes full care of the tank... She just asks for certain fish but Dad is the real keeper Lol.

I really like the Red Tail Puffers and will try to get some. I'm thinking 4-5 pcs incase some don't make the shipping. Also I'm sure SoCal puffer peeps would buy if only 1 can be kept in the tank :D
 
These fish need to be sexed. Don't always play with others. A pair is good.
 
Ok, Thanks. I'll do some research on how to sex them
 
I was sold an "Avocado" puffer before I was a member here..... Most active lil thing I've ever seen pufferwise. Don't have the typical puffer look but was an absolute blast to watch.... Really fast, like an angry hummingbird, but the fins on the top and bottom.

Haven't seen them in a while, but haven't really looked for them either.
 
I ran into these. The Modestus yeah?
I read they are frigging aggressive so they scared me away Lol
I plan to raise out the puffer in a 50gl n work it's way up if need be. So there will always be prize fish w/him except the 50gl.

I ran into some at **************** :D

Thank you... Don't even what to attempt it :D
Did a Vid search n these guys can MOVE!

I think I'm going w/True Red Eye Puffers
I was told Males are very aggressive
I have to do some research on sexing them now :D

Is this a fair picture between male & female?

Yes, they are a better choice than the more aggressive lorteti.
