Giving my Pufferfish a Bigger Tank!
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Today I gave my Spiny Box Puffer a new home in my reef tank. Pufferfish in reef tanks are usually not recommended however since I only have coral, everything should work out just fine

Your love of this puffer is so pure. Thanks for doing right by him. I helped care for a puffer in highschool and he was trained to eat from your hands. His favorite was shrimp.

This. People eating things like puffers and octopus is repulsive to me, for similar reasons if you told me you ate dog or oranguatan I'd be disgusted with you as a person. Puffer and cuttlefish I could somewhat give benefit of the doubt prior to the internet, but it's become pretty common knowledge how smart these animals are.

So glad to see pufferfish videos that aren't someone literally torturing a fish for entertainment. You did right by your son. What a nice young man
Your love for your baby puffer is so pure and adorable 😭 I would love to one day have a puffer of my own, it's really inspiring to see someone take such good care of one like you do!

There's multiple animals I'd like to someday have when/if I ever have both the time and money/resources, and a big puffer is one of them. Probably not a Fahaka though that'd be awesome. Also school of cuttlefish.
big puffer bossed up!🐡
The love you have for this little dude 🥰 I love his new tank. Beautiful little guy take care
Thanks for not taking him out of the water all the way. You obviously have read up. Never let them suck in air they can have a hard time expelling it as opposed to water. Hopefully he doesn’t munch on your leather and star polyps. Mussels and cockles are also really good especially when still on the shell, helps to keep the beak filed down. He’s technically a striped burrfish. They can be found off the east coast as far north as Maryland and North Carolina depending on water temperature.
Steps for moving puffers: use a cup.

This was a great video! I saw one of these guys at my local pet store today and he had an awesome personality like yours.
This was adorable and your puffer is so cute.
you should stack live rock on top of each other (assuming you get more when you get more colorful fish) because the change in height is nice and if you put 2 or 3 small rocks at the bottom and a big one on top, you have a large spot to put coral and alot of spaces for fish to swim down below. Love the long tanks since they always have great potential to be amazing reefers

I will definitely redo the scape of the rock soon. It’s hard Bc I already glued corals onto the middle rock so I’ll have to be careful when redecorating

Pretty sure puffers can get bored. I'd love to have a big one but they're easily stressed, mostly require very specific water conditions (I have ultra hard water to boot), needs lots of space, and I barely have the time for taking care of a houseplant and fish atm.
"This fish can't breathe oxygen or he'll die" _proceeds to dangle food in the air_
Great video once again man wow
This is such a wholesome vid fr
This genuily makes me happy
I love him so much I'm screaming
Just a word of advice use the container that you put him in to transport to catch him as well that way you don’t have to put him in the net Which isn’t good with a spiky puffer fish
@pandemicneetbux2110

Actually you can severely injure them by taking them out of the water and into the air if they get stressed out. Forget how, but my understanding is something about the way they puff up if they do it with air can cause permanent injury while you're moving them around.
Well done for ur bigger tank
Yeah. Tank is amazing!
He will love it
Man you are so lucky, I would kill to have a tank and a Puffer like this. as a kid, I had three Pigmy Puffers. They were my favorite pets!
He is so cute

He does look great in that tank! You did take a big risk putting him in that net even if for a second. I hope he’s doing well, he’s a cutie for sure:) 🐡
Spiny Box and Porcupine Puffers have no predators.
👀😬❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️❤️❤️❤️♥️☮️LOVE THIS SOOOO MUCH ..SO CUTE!!! I have a GREEN SPOTTED PUFFER..BERNIE..I am in the market at the moment to upgrade his tank.. GOOD JOB !!
He’s so cute
amazing
Lol swims fast
Awesome pufferfish, just beware he's going to outgrow that tank, and they grow incredibly fast. You might need to get a bigger tank in like six months. you also cant feed him only krill, it causes the fish to get lockjaw and eventually he won't be able to eat and he will die.

He got upgraded to a 250 Gallon last year. And yeah I’ve been feeding him clams on the shell and krill plus some diff types of shrimp and fish
What gallon size tank is that??? And how often do you clean it 😭 I want one so bad
Right 👍 lol
I love puffers
Puffer fish is cute! And she ahs a new home! ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
Nice puffer. How can you tell difference from male or female green spotted puffer
That puffer will destroy coral. Just keep an eye on them.
Do only have a HOB as filter for that puffer that every say is "Expert Only" or am I mising something? (Freshwater keeper) But my dream since Iam a puffer lover is to keep one. I love porcupine, but this one looks even better. How big does it get? :-D Thanks for the video.
My puffer was out of the water like a whole minute before I got em lol he's fine
I had a porcupine for 6 years, gave up the tank when I started traveling in a rv for 3 years. They are great. I’m setting up a tank again. Of course main fish will be a porcupine
I’m looking to get a puffer but heard they eat corals any thoughts?

That's a spiny boxfish Porcupine puffer puffs up. Good video though. I've had both. They are both awesome in their own right although the two I had did not go well together I had to give one away. Both act the same once in a while you will see a porcupine puffer actually puff up though.
I seen one at the store today, never seeing one in person, and he started talking to me immediately, I want him, but I don't think I have the funds currently.. He was extremely responsive and as they say had a personality of a puffer. about the size of this one if not a little smaller.. priced at 29.99. I took a video of him, and as soon as I started he swam over and went down to a pebble and pretended to pick it up and put it down and I slightly moved my phone to the left and he went to the stick on the tank after looking at me for a minute before I slightly moved my phone..
Next time put the small container in the tank for transport, it's so much safer. If he tried to puff up while in the net it's game over, glad it worked out.
Make sure you’re not feeding him krill exclusively. Doing that can cause lockjaw in pufferfish.
How much did u spend on all that tank and all
Damn i want to be treated the way u treat ur son 😂😂😂
Does feeding krill to puffers cause lock jaw?
They do breath oxygen through the water, but they can’t take it through air.
He is sooo cute
Is tht puffer aggressive with other fish?
I've an electric eel like pet
Did he end up eating your coral? I just got one so I was wondering.
I'm wandering how is he now? How big is he? I think he'll eat the fish soon
How big is this tsnk ?

Never move a puffer out of water you should use a bowl
He can't breathe oxygen? What does he breathe nitrogen? LOL.

The puffer has toxin as a defense. The mantis will eventually die by the puffers need to chew on shell. Catch it molting and it's got no defense.
Buy him girl friend and he will be very happy ☺ if this animal is ok with another kind .
How is he doing ?
You are going to add to feed him mussels crabs and clams and mussels so his beak doesn't overgrow and he dies because he can't eat

Yes but you can’t get poisoned by touching it or getting bitten or whatever you would have to eat it to get poisoned, if prepared properly you can eat it but it takes trained chefs to do that

Seriously have questions. Sorry so long..How old is the box puffer and what size tank did u put him in?. How long will it stay in the tank before its waste load overtakes the ability of the tank filtration or its size ratio to tank length and width is to narrow a margin. Research is so misleading.. it's recommended 180 on most spots w others like wiki saying 70 min..so much cuc info.. Ur tank is beautiful btw. Cpl things. Not criticism just to help u avoid potential heartbreak like mine and cost loss. Puffers est coral like a put chews truck tires to floss. Lol. Shaving down teeth is vital tp survival and will die if they aren't provided adequate crunch. Won't care if it's 150 bucks of coral.. .puffers shouldn't ever be netted and should not touch air. Puffing up and surface feeding are to b avoided at all cost.. besides the stress impact puffing or gasping air w food these activities can result in something called like gut bloat or air gut. Presents w odd behavior like resting long periods and unblalanced swimming equilibrium. I just lost my sharpnose to it. Surface feeding is what caused it in mine. I didn't no. Let excess food float. Believe he caught an air bubble. Often enough they can't get the air out. Always best to capture and transport this fish in a box. No net required. I'm trying to gather all the info and experience of others possible before bringing in a larger variety puffer then a canthagaster. misinformation and idiots who think they no more then they do cant just share what they have learned from doing. I wanna no growth rate and activity level in detail if possible. Sorry so long but clearly u no what I no about how cool puffers are.
What's his name? I must know :0
