Mastacembelus brichardi One year later, not much change in size. They come out for food. I have a total of 3 fish, not much interaction with each other. They are currenlty living in a 40 gallon long tank with coarse sand on the bottom. Diet: crushed cichlid gold pellets, frozen blood worms.

Notice my username is "fugupuff" I am a life long keeper and enjoy puffers immensely. I've kept probably every species of freshwater puffer fish with the exception of tetraodon schoutedeni, which is an enigmatic fish that has not been seen in the hobby for over 20 years, is it extinct? Well, when I saw these huge diodon hystrix cruising along the Hawaian shores I couldn't resist pulling one out and photographing it. I did release this one. I saw a pair even larger and dancing around each other, it was the most breath taking site to see this in the wild.
