FS - 10" Dogface Puffer and 10" Porcupine Puffer (Calgary)

$50 - each

Actually a Stars and Stripes Puffer and a Porcupine (thanks SeaHorse_Fanatic)....

Looking to part with my two puffer buddies. These guys are amazing creatures with personailities more like pet dogs then fish. Both fish are big messy eaters and are very fat!!!!

You need to have a large tank (min 120g) and be willing to anti up for good food. I feed these guys shrimp, clams, and crab (T&T supermarket). They are currently in a 6 foot 120g and seem quite happy.

No shipping, and these guys must go to a decent sized tank (I will require pics or proof). They don't require a lot of experience to keep happy as they are quite tough.

I would like to sell as a pair because they seem to really like each other, but I don't have to. If you're interested and have questions, let me know.

If I don't have any takers in the next few days I'll give it some thought. I'm thinking that these are such large fish, the amount of water required would make shipping very expensive. Saying that, I've never shipped a fish so I don't really know. I'll be in touch if I don't have any interest.

Not a dogface puffer. Probably a Stars & stripes puffer instead.

Man, I'd love the Porc, but shipping a fish that big, I dunno

I agree. Could be risky and expensive. Anyone out there with experience shipping a big fish??? My concern is that if you send him hungry he might be stressed out and not as able to cope, but if you send him full and he takes a dump, look out!!!

When I brought home my wife's puffer from Abbotsford, it got POed and bit a hole in the bag (1 hour drive), so yeah, shipping a large porc puffer is a challenge (ours was only 3.5" or so back then too).
