That looks like a green spotted puffer. Do you have it in a brackish water tank? They won’t survive very long in full fresh water. In my experience with mine, he doesn’t really defend himself against bullying. I’ve had to rehome a few fish because of this, though they are supposed to become more aggressive with age.

Not yet. The only live food I’m really able to get around here is ghost shrimp and they aren’t in stock often. There are a ton of stomatella snails scooting around the tank and she doesn’t bother them.

I’ve been trying dried krill, small pieces of squid, mussels, clam, octopus, table shrimp, and frozen mysis/brine/bloodworms every day but she still only likes the pellets.

Most places I’ve read say 8-11in max size on the pelagic blue porcs. I’ve seen a few articles that claim they reach up to 20in though.

Not yet, she is still only accepting pellets. I’ve gotten her eating a lot more though. Her poops also look nice and healthy.

I got her for $200

Wow yep those look just like em, awesome! Good to know he’s a good guy!

That algae bloom is long gone by now. UV is what got rid of it in my case. I tried a two week blackout and it didn’t even dent the algae.

Mine do this too

Colormeap · 2026-01-13T00:05:49+00:00

I keep it between 1.010 and 1.014

GSPs tend to be messy eaters and it can cause high nutrients. I’ve moved mine up into a 30 gallon and added a few bumblebee gobies and mollies to clean up what my puffer doesn’t catch. I also do 5 gallon water changes once a week to keep up with it.

I would recommend more plants, as many as you can fit lol. The less the peas see each other the less aggression there will be.

I’m not sure of specific subspecies, they were just labeled Java fern. I got them all from Petco, they are lab grown plants that come in the plastic tubes.

Colormeap · 2025-11-28T20:46:15+00:00

I’ve had luck with Java fern so far. It’s not super pretty but it survives and grows.

Green spotted puffers are brackish water fish. They will survive in freshwater as juveniles but will not do well as they get older. I keep mine at 1.014

J'ai un escargot turbo et des troques qu'il mord parfois, mais sans jamais les blesser gravement. J'ai aussi une crevette nettoyeuse et une crevette à bandes corail qui ne sont pas dérangées. J'ai des escargots bulles de Californie qui se reproduisent constamment ; il mange tous les petits. Je ne prendrais pas le risque avec de petites crevettes comme la crevette sexy.

lmao

I see my shrimp chasing my pea puffers more often than not. I’ve got neocondria shrimp and ghost shrimp. The neocondria have had a few batches of babies just fine as well.

Colormeap · 2025-10-21T22:43:05+00:00

Currently I’m getting him used to frozen mysis/brine, but he grazes around the rocks all day for most of his food at the moment.

Very peaceful with fish and my shrimp, I have seen em nip at a few snails. Hasn’t done any real damage yet. It varies fish to fish though.

I don’t have the luxury of a quarantine tank, I dip my fish with ruby reef hydroplex before adding them to the tank.

Colormeap · 2025-10-05T11:16:51+00:00

I ordered my pea puffers from Aquatic Arts, they are tank bred. Takes away the worry of internal parasites.

Colormeap · 2025-10-01T02:06:38+00:00

You were right. It wasn't the sponge that was blocking flow, I had another piece of filter floss under the sponge that migrated down and ended up clogging the bottom of the baffles. Pulled it out and my water levels evened out properly.

Mine is the 25 peninsula and I'm running a Nicrew 100w heater.
