Anyone interested in a 8" Procupine puffer. $80.00
Fins are slightly tattered from a run it with a trigger.
Fish is eating fine (like the pig they are) and very active.

Thanks

Umm..where do you view this picture?


Also what size tank do you currently have this porcupine in? Did you raise him from a small or bought him when big? How long have you had this porcupine for? So I have an idea of his travels.


Thanks a bunch,

I have had this puffer for a few weeks, mostly bought it to get it away from the clown trigger that was harrasing it. It is presently housed in a 90 gal tank but would need something larger than 100g to be fully happy (known to grow to 14-18" in captivity - 18-24" in wild).
Is eating clam, frozen krill and frozen mysis, and is starting to accept pellets (just not enthusiastically).

Getting rid of him before the size issue comes into play for me.

Not to rain on this post, but going from 90 gal to a 100 gal isnt probably going to help out. Now if you are saying a 180 well probably these fish get big. When i was down in Minnesota in the Summer i went to the Mall of America and saw the biggest puffer like yours probably 15" long and around 4-5 " fat in a 96" tank he was the boss..

Sorry, just to clarify Mike.. Paul's post says

"It is presently housed in a 90 gal tank but would need something larger than 100g to be fully happy"

He didn't say it's going from 90g to 100g, or anything like that.
