Pufferpack Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Thought I'd share a couple pics of my Lovebirds, Chubbs & Skinner. They are a mating pair of Emerald puffers that have been spawning every 8-10 days....no surviving fry so far, but I'm still trying Chubbs, my female showing off for Skinner.

Vallisneria Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Very cool, I have always been interested in puffers but have yet to keep them. I was think of maybe setting up a dwarf tank in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freshmike Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 PP, those are the coolest puffers I have seen in a long time! You definitely have quite the knack for these guys...and it shows! Great looking fish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pufferpack Posted May 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Thanks all , I am real proud of this couple, they were almost dead when I got them and they fought back bravely. Although I lucked out and got a male/female that mated, normally I wouldn't have been able to keep 2 together due to their nasty tempers. Even these 2 have some nasty scraps, mostly a couple days after spawning when Skinner is protecting the eggs, he will try to drive Chubbs out of the area and I have to relocate her to a spare tank until the fry are gone. Here are some pics of them during one of their lovers quarrels.
