FS Dogface Puffer

[pedromatic]

Arothron nigropunctatus. Great fish, about 7 inches. Perfect for FOWLR tank, minimum 100g. We love him, had him around 3 years, terrific photo subject, but getting a little crowded in my 90. Here are some pics:

Please give him a good home.

$50, or trade for some SPS frags. Can't afford a larger system at the moment. The fish is doing fine, but I'd like to see him in a bigger setup.

Pedro bump for a nice fish but at retail IMO difficult to sell that Dog.

Small dogs sell retail for about $30- if I remember correctly/

Price is not an issue, though I don't understand why such an interesting fish is so cheap. Anyway, I just want the fish to be in a good home.

I've tried the local aquariums, but they're only interested in local fauna. I offered to donate him to the school, but they're afraid he would nibble the corals. As long as I've had him, he's just nibbled at LR to grind his teeth down. I've got plenty of snails, crabs, shrimp, he hasn't bothered any of them.

He's hardy too, survived every stupid newbie mistake I ever made.

If I had a large system I'd get him. They're so smart! Are they really $30 for small ones? I thot they were more than that.

U made me wonder and I looked him up on Marinedepotlive(the most expensive online vendor) small 24-large +17.

Are you haggling with me, gasman. I already said price was not an issue.

If you want a fish that recognizes you and swims over and lets you pet him like a puppy, this is the one for you. And you never have to walk him. :dance::fish1:

Gasman,

That's so funny. I did the exact same thing after reading this thread. lol

Off to see the Simpson's movie, good luck with the sale/trade!

OK, jokers, can I have my thread back now? I'd really like to find a good home for this fish.
