Figure 8 Puffer breeding
- Thread starter isaac newton
- Start date
Sure, target puffers (t leiurus), red-eye puffers (t lorteti), pignose puffers (t suvatti), humpback puffers (t plambangensis), to name a few. These are all puffers I've read about on different forums, being sucessfully bred & raised.
What does that have to with the title? F8s have never sucessfully benn raised in captivity.

Tru a Google search, they're all in there. There's a guy at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pufferfish/ from Singapore that has got his pair of t plambangensis breeding like crazy. You can go there (Yahoogroups, not Singapore) to read all about it.

You know if any have sucesfully breed the Ceylon Puffer?.. The puffers you listed look a bit scarry 
Im looking to breed more of a less devilish looking puffer. From what your telling me, it seems that the best known puffers have never been breed in captivity i.e. greenspoted and figure 8

When fish have deposited fertile eggs, they have been spawned or have bred in capitivity. When those eggs hatch and the fry are reared, they have been raised in captivity.
Both Figure-8 and GSP have spawned in captivity, neither has been raised so far as I know.

Robert, I've read the posts in this thread over & over & I can't find the wrong terminology you speak of.
Try the topic header "Figure 8 Puffer Breeding" then the opening post requests rearing info.
Many fish spawn in captivity which are rather more difficut to rear. The blackwater Tetras are a good example, although marine, Clownfish are even better - they spawn routinely.

I assumed that breeding ment both getting them to mate and rearing the fry.. Breeding has been used to refer to both thoes terms in many fourms....
