Feeding Time... Video

[Tom]

Thought I'd film it today, as he's been getting quite aggressive recently... For those that don't know, he's a Hairy Puffer, Monotrete baileyi, called Esau Had him 2 years in October

I won't be hand feeding him any more, scared I might lose a finger or two lol

Beautiful fish, love him what tank do you have him in with what sort of filtration?

He's in a Juwel Rio 125 (literally just the shell - no internal filter, no standard lights, as both broke!) Filter is a Rena XP4, way overkill but he likes the flow. Foodwise, he gets 2 mussels and a prawn every other day, and 50% weekly water changes. Soon, I'm going to build him a proper river tank as it's a bit of an eyesore at the moment.

He's cool!! We're after some figure 8 puffers for the spare little tank upstairs. Just found out we got to wait til August - didn't realise they were seasonal. Yours has got such character!

Did you realise figure 8's are brackish? http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/ug.php/v/PufferPedia/Brackish/T_Biocellatus/

Dwarf puffers seem cool!

Nice video, Tom.
I used to have a very similar puffer. Tetraodon suvatti, The Arrow Head Puffer. Unfortunatly some bacteria died off which caused a huge nitrite and nitrate spike, rendering a very large, dead puffer.
