pelagic porcupine puffer

tkiry1 · May 6, 2017

My entire stock list, oh boy.. I have it stored on my iPad... I have a lot of fish.. But I have over 400 gallons of water volume with my sump, I have a 60 gallon on the system with 3 clowns, and 46 gallon column tank with a few fairy wrasses.. I use marine pure blocks and their spheres.. Bio pellet reactor, and phosphate reactor and uv, and of course a large skimmer.. Weekly water changes are done.. So my parameters are excellent, I can't even believe it... Lol.. Nobody fights.. I am going up to 265 from 220 in about a month.. I realize that I am basically done collecting fish and probably will lose about 3 fish when I make the change over.. Lose in try to sell them.. I will put the list together later, just no fish police at my house!!

You have unique and expensive taste. Where is the purple puffer? And do all your aggressive fish get along? You must have a good filtration system cuz the puffers look fat and hungry. Lol

Is that a spiny puffer that you have? Can you show a few more pix? Don't get to see that much. Also, how long have you had ur male crosshatch?

Porc puffers.. One regular porc that has some weird colors and the other is the blue porc.. I will definitely take some closeup shots later today.. I just ran out.. How big is your tank? Reef tank or fish only? Crosshatch I have had for about 1 1/2 years...

I guess u mean tanks. Lol. Talk about addiction. I tried reef a few times over the past decade and had success in LPS. Never really appreciate SPS. Now I only have FOWLR. Other than the old 180g, 125g, and 75g, I am also re-working on my 720g system (560dt 160 sump) which will combine all the livestock. It's nice that your x-hatch retain its male coloration. I've heard that it would typically switch to duller coloration after a while.

This video was at the hay day of my 180g.
