giant puffer

still need ansers. do they need larger snails like apples at there adult size? do they need more of them?
 
the stores gives me there problem snails at a cent a piece
 
Snails as large as they're eye are good. Melafix will clear the eye up in a couple of days.

When you do clean your tank, what exactally do you do?

A Mbu Puffer (AKA Giant Puffer) is one of the calmer and friendly puffers, although it gets much bigger than the Figure 8s and the Green Spotted puffers, it can share a tank with a wider variety of large fish.

The Mbu needs to be kept alone from other puffers as they will fight with its own species.

I beleieve that you need a tank size minimum of about 45 G to keep a Giant Puffer in with room for growt and movement
 
Ummm, 45 gallons? Mayber for a juvie 3"er for a short while. They grow about 2"/month & eventuallly reach 2" in less than 2 years. They are best kept in a tank no less than 1,000g. Please read this story: http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=150

fish breeder 05, What's going on wiht your puffer? Are you saving up for that huge tank?
 
Agree,
1000G+ is a must for a giant puffer.
I would love to have one and keep thinking about them all the time !!
but my largest tank is 350gal and no way i can keep it it there,
They just grow too fast and cant provide a bigger tank unless i won
the lottery,
 
are you retarded 1000+ gallons? maybe for 3 of them. your three fifty would be fine for one.
 
yeah i know they are huge and are big on bio load too but not enough to warrant a thousand gallons. i would say more like in the 450 to 650 gallon range.
and i apologise for using the term retarded .if you read the post i was not calling any one retarded. i was only asking. but it doesnt matter anymore at this point. im sorry
