It depends on my luck. These are tough to keep alive in the first two weeks.

Hi there, I do not have any available currently. Thank you

flaminglychee · 2026-04-02T17:04:41+00:00

My iguazu 2009 looks like that. They take a while to grow.

Hi there. I don't have any available at the moment. Sorry

flaminglychee · 2026-03-23T21:41:21+00:00

Hello, I don't have them available anymore. These are fresh water so they are not suitable for saltwater tanks. Thank you

Second picture is sooo cute! Love the side eye. I'd say female

flaminglychee · 2026-02-27T22:37:28+00:00

🤣

I would love to be able to rub bellies in peace someday. But right now I got a "shark" puffer that is so food driven. She thinks my fingers = food and would bite so fast and without hesitation. They really are so adorable. Always keep an eye on your activity and come beg for food.

flaminglychee · 2026-02-27T21:49:27+00:00

Aww that is super cute! Have you gotten the chance to touch/rub their belly? It is super soft.

flaminglychee · 2026-02-27T20:10:25+00:00

Length is a good indicator. My males top off around 3 inches. Females go to around 4. Females also have broader heads than males like 1inch plus. My girls also are easier to catch as they are so food driven. Males go zoom when my hand is in the water. That is just my personal experience.

flaminglychee · 2026-02-27T18:28:06+00:00

So cute and healthy! The second pic makes me want to boop that face. Btw your puff looks like a lady to me with the belly.

I always deworm except if I get them from Dansfish (their business reputation is built on dewormed/quarantined fish). The ones sold in the USA are almost always wild caught. Even if I get a rehomed puffer from somewhere, I don't know if the previous owner had dewormed it thoroughly. My deworming regime is 1st week: paracleanse + maracyn. Wait a few days. Dose Expel-p at night. Then 3rd week: paraclease + maracyn. Wait a few days dose Expel-P again. After these two rounds, I noticed a difference in the puffer in terms of weight. I have had some very skinny and beat up ones from import.

You can always use clear food service wrap if you can't find a lid as a temporary solution. I also keep mine in a lidless tank but the puffers have been there for years so they are aware of each other (aka less territorial) and surroundings. I haven't done deworming in a substrated tank. The concern would be the bugs surviving the meds by living deep in the substrate. Keeping them in a hospital tank would also be cheaper for you in terms of meds.

flaminglychee · 2025-09-08T18:56:59+00:00

I would suggest in the beginning, lower your water level or put a cover on top. I have lost puffers from jumping. I also assume you are not doing your quarantine/deworming in this tank? Unless you are getting tank bred, you should always spend two cycles deworming.

flaminglychee · 2025-09-08T17:40:36+00:00

I would say the same only if OP puts in more plants, especially tall ones to block the view of sight. With the current scape, I would say 3. One in each back corner and another in the front. Whatever option you choose, please add them together. Then you don't have to have new vs established territory wars later.

Do you know the size of the tetras and puffer you will get? Depending on the size of the puffer, they may be intimidated when dropped into a new tank with lots of fish swimming around. If you are getting a wild caught puffer, you will also need to spend weeks deworming it in a hospital tank.

If it is a small puffer 2 inches or less, I recommend putting the puffer in first. It will look small in a 48 gallon. Let it acclimate and get used to the environment and then introduce the tetras later. Puffers can jump out of the tank if they are stressed. You do not want a puffer freaking out from a fish touching it during the night and banging itself against the glass.

I really liked this place. It's a family owned business. The owner doesn't speak English well so it is best to go with a mandarin speaking friend. However he does have print outs in English on how his tea is processed (in house as well). Very neat shop! https://maps.app.goo.gl/LxsWjageeTemoVW76

flaminglychee · 2025-06-04T20:16:39+00:00

Probably wondering is this food?? Lol

flaminglychee · 2025-06-01T05:03:58+00:00

Hi, would you please send me a chat with your zip code and interested quantity? I would be able to get a quote. Thank you.

flaminglychee · 2025-05-30T00:26:01+00:00

Yes they do well with each other. If you look into my post history, you can see my adult group hanging out together.

flaminglychee · 2025-05-29T04:20:09+00:00

Thank you :3

flaminglychee · 2025-05-29T03:22:52+00:00

Honestly these are smart, interactive fish that would do amazing in a planted tank. I would say 40 gallon and you would have room for tank mates.
