- New Figure 8 Puffer Fish Tank! I can't wait to share the journey of the first few weeks of having new pufferfish with you. One of the little puffers ran into an issue, but I believe everything is doing well again. Make sure you watch to the end and see the current look of this brackish 40-gallon breeder aquarium. Subscribe to ScienceGal Aquatics and make sure the bell notification is clicked to see the process of these Figure 8 Pufferfish and all the other freshwater tanks in the fish room.
Thanks for Watching. Enjoy!

They are great little fish but just a bit of advise.
Never move a puffer with a net they can puff up
and take in to much air and not be able to release it and it can
Cause them to perish.In some cases if that happens you may be able to burp them.
But they all look good and healthy enjoy them to the fullest.
Kerri I love your puffers, they are awesome. Glad they are doing so well, I'll be watching for updates on these guys
Oh man, reminds me of my orange fugu saddle back puffers! Man i miss them! Great job Kerri keep up the good work!!!
What an adorable way to bring in the new year😍
They are quickly becoming my new favorite!!
Love puffers Great Video Thanks for sharing
Thank you!!
He looking much better. Nice video thanks.
They have such pretty patterns :)
Love me some puffers 💕
Enjoyed the video
❤them!
Just discovered your channel and subbed! Figure 8 puffers are so cool they have some of the best markings of all puffers out there imo. Including my figure 8s I have nine total species of puffers and thus far I haven't had to treat for internal parasites more than once. If I saw evidence that there may still be a problem with internal parasites, I'd probably start with a half dose and then add more later if necessary. Love your four puffers, hoping the best for you.
Puffer fish are not supposed to be taken out of water. It can stress them enough to make them puff up.
When they do that outside of the water it's almost deadly everytime.
Other vids show pushing them into a container instead of netting them, due to the blow-up factor.
and proneness to disease, given no true scales.
True but it rarely ever happens
They all looking like they are doing well now great video
Definitely thankful!!
Awesome little guys! I am getting my first puffers this upcoming week, so excited! They should be here Wednesday.
Can't wait for you to get them!! You will love them instantly!
i love puffers , nice video, luv ya girl
I’d like to see an update!
I'm getting some this coming week so sub,d..and binge watching video.s so excited to get these.
Any updates on the puffers???
Its 10 months later is there a follow up video? How are they now?
2 years later... how are they doing?
I’m trying to find the most cost effective and good eating source for my puffer. It’s been a year since this video what are you feeding and where are you purchasing it? I really don’t want to start a snail farm but because of the expense I might
I have a little 5 gallon i threw a sponge filter in and a little heater. Put in a handful of pins snails and treated with prazi pro and within weeks i now have hundreds. Super easy and efficient
How are the figure 8 puffers doing?
Great video Kerry... Puffers are illegal here in Australia.. Wish we could have them
Goodness! I’m so sorry! Australia sounds challenging to be a fish keeper.
@@ScienceGalAquatics it's not to bad.. Very strict on Puffers and Koi..
@@craigbroderick8935 why no puffers for Australia?
@@damienmeera3220 know idea... Wish I knew
Would think you could go catch some saltwater varieties, then... If freshwater imports are regulated.
I wonder why it is soooo hard to find figure 8's in a group setting on TH-cam... Do they all just die?
Please add your puffer Updates... Then, I will sub, as I am a puffer fan! :)
ps - Nice to see a quick recovery... Thx for sharing!
- I DO NOT RECOMMEND GREEN SPOTTED PUFFERS for most people, as they are nearly Marine fish by adulthood... you have to change Everything for them to thrive.
- Even though I can care for a Green Spotted Puffer, I regret that Figure 8's were not available on Maui, when I got mine. Thank God these 8's are much friendlier with each other, than many pufferfish...
And you can actually have it mildly brackish with some plants!
They are really best as species only. As they get older they a lot more aggressive with eachother
@@rudykozan5009 Thx for the good tip.. I imagine they may behave in a huge tank.
Would love to see that!
-As even my Fahakas are less aggressive with more space. Going from 55 to 200 gallons or so next.
They are 6 and 6.5 inches now. Cheers! 🍻🐠
Edit.. So far, no damage to each other, although they used to bite the skin with no effects.
What the hell why empty there water and stress them literally as you put them in
I wish I could figure out what I am doing wrong with my puffer. He's got a 15 gallon and all he does is glass surf. Getting him to eat is complicated and I just don't know what to do. I've had him a month and since I got him that's all he does is surf one side then the other. I have to hold his food otherwise it will be wasted. He has good color and seems active but he doesn't explore very much nor does he eat like other puffers I've watched In videos. I feel like this is hopeless. He gets snails, krill, meal worms occasionally and regular ground worms. I've even tried to feed him shrimp and it's always hit or miss with him. I could hold it directly in front of him and he'll just continue to surf the glass and ignore the food.
You could try asking the fish shop for advice especially the ones who seem really into the hobby vs just selling. Not all shopkeepers are knowledgeable from my personal experience.
@@voz5585 I tried asking when I bought my puffer. The guy told me just regular fish flakes. He didn't know and I had already looked up foods they eat. I was trying to see if they carried anything, but he didn't seem to care or know beyond putting fish in a bag.
Live food or Seafood on a string helps, sometimes... use a needle to stab thru the fish or shrimp, clam, mussel meat pieces, whatever... If he's not sick, or high ammonia in the water, seafoods are usually eaten. Other vids swear by some freeze-dried Krill to keep the teeth ground down.
As for the glass surfing... a larger tank with no bright light hitting near the glass is an option.
They tend to surf their own reflections. some people add floating plants to stop the reflections.
Or use lighting that only hits the tank center, not near the glass... so, the fish is not lit up when next to the glass. -Good luck!
oh, you can hatch and raise brine shrimp, if your shop doesn't have them Live...
I guess watch some vids for those... feed the shrimp yeast?
@@bubblerings Thank you for the advice. I did end up rehoming him to someone with better experience. He was a cute little guy but I think a little out of my experience level and I felt bad for him. I get updates from my customer on how he's doing and still swimming strong.
@@spiderboyjosh Very good!!... a good ending to this chapter! :)
