frontosas Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) Just wanted to show off my Puff Daddy!! He is approx 12 inches and getting rounder by the day!! I got him as a Juvie about a year ago from Franco's and I believe he is a Fahaka Puffer. He is on a strict diet of Frozen Krill and is very Anti-Social. He eats his tank mates!! Just a side note: I mention this fish is a "HE" but it might be a "SHE" Dont know how to tell them apart!! Might just be a Puff Mommy!!

Slough Shark Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Very nice fish! Big puffers have some magic about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frontosas Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Very nice fish! Big puffers have some magic about them. They sure do!! He also has his own personality.He eats when "he" wants to eat, he lets us know and if my GF is not fast enough he gets very angry!! He won't eat when I feed him,just my GF can feed him!LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfishal Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I seen this Puffer (Puff Daddy) in person and it really is a awesome fish!! It really makes me want to get one but they seem like they are almost like having another child! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpuffer Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Unfortunately, no fahakas. I do have some other fw puffer (SA puffer and T. turgidus) that stays relatively small. If I ever get rid of my rays and cichlid...the fahaka is next of my list. Jonah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bignose Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) Wow that looks like a big fish, It`s mouth looks rather large! My Fahaka puffer is about 5 1/2" long. Man can that thing eat!! I fed it a prawn yesterday and I thought it was going to explode!! Great personality, I would recommend to anyone.
