i went to walmart today.. always get suckered into these poor fish because i just do ! and i came across a puffer ! i dont know what walmart is thinking adding puffers to their supply, but they did, so i snaged this little guy up and took him home, he was just wiggling around, probably not healthy at all, so now he is here with me in my little tank.. awaiting a bigger one !! hehe dont tell anyone, but isnt she just a beauty ?

Aw..I've never seen a puffer in walmart, lucky you!! I bet you got a deal on it too, they prolly don't know anything about them...(My Lfs doesn't even carry them :blink:

I've just never seen a puffer......I might try and get some later in life...I think I have a while to live....

haha yea he was only $4.43 at walmart, anyone know what kind he is, i need to know how to take care of him, he will need a larger tank, i just cant find anyone to donate or trade one to me for my 2.5 !

He looks like a greenspotted one to me, but I could be wrong. Cool that you found it there, though!

He looks really small against your heater B)

Yeah my wal-mart is carrying puffers now too. Just adding to the problem as I see it they are.

well that came right out of the blue...Your puffer loks really cool and the wal-mart thing mine has them to some larger ones in a rather small thank....

Sorry Snailguy, not my puffer! Just one I found when researching the possibilities for a brackish tank.

Need to get my tropical up and running again first!

In the UK, we have a supermarket called ASDA which was recently taken over by Wallmart. Doesn't sell fish though thank goodness.
