My 1" Baby Fahaka Puffer!

[Jozle]

I saw this guy when I came in for work at Fish Gallery the other day. I had to get him. He was tiny, tinniest monster fish I've ever seen.
Healthy little guy, doesn't seem to be interested in snails, likes chasing my yellow shrimps. I just need a name for him.

Nice pick up how fast do puffers grow ?

[mnemenoi]

Very quick, ours has doubled in size in under a year. The smaller they are the faster they grow. Eventually the stop at 18"

Cute lil guy/girl? Always love how they glide threw the water like a submarine.

nice! so tiny. Reminds me of my guy when I got him, he is fat as hell now lol.

[Jozle]

lol. my other fahaka has grown an inch since I got him. He's fattening up real quick too.

[wesleh]

sweet pick up! I always wanted a puffer.

[mnemenoi]

They are fun, bit can be a lot of work and commitment

[Jozle]

Oh yes, they sure are. My parents are always asking me why the Fahakas and Mantis shrimp always get special treatment.

Nice little guy. So now you have 2.
You are going to need some bigger Tanks.

Gives me a reason to get bigger tanks as time goes on.

i got mine at about 3 inchs and in 12 months he was 14 inches so more than that. if he is in a tank that is too small it will stunt his growth
