[mrswiss420]

just got a GSP a week ago and I will tell you what, the brackish water worked WONDERS for his health...he was showing signs of stress (two dark "lines" beginning at his nostrils)...keep that in mind people THESE FISH NEED SALT (and NOT AQUARIUM SALT!)

[supergiorocks]

nice song

[psychotikpaisano]

Aww, I remember when I had a pair of these!

So playful and happy looking!

Then mr oscar found his way across the divider...

They both survived the attack, but died of the wounds overnight, and so did the oscar from poisoning

[Honeebuket]

Poor mealworm

[ElectricalCurse]

haha, compare the size of him from the beginning and at the end, his belly well expands, greedy lil thing

[thewardenlover]

so the GSP IS in fact brackish?

[runsluut]

is that worm nutritious enough for the puffer? im asking cause i have one and idk what to feed him. also does the worm file his teeth down?

[1970ken1]

what caused your puffer to die ? i have 2 of them and there are about 6mons old now ..i have to trim there teeth now can't eat ..and i have them in a 50 gallon tank with 3 huge parrot fish ..i call them Ren/Stimpy they chase the parrots away from them it's funny they get along great

[FishingThePNW]

the music fit so well, haha nice :)

[GODLIKE20000]

a lot of people are saying their puffer's mysteriously died after a couple of months unexpectedly, would this not suggest they need some sort of brackish tank in the long run?

[thechattyone1]

arnt the brackish and how big is your tant i herd you can keep 2 in a 10 gall tank cause i was gonna get 2 when i upgraded my tank

[MeRawrCookies]

Hi:) I Have 3 Green Puffers Named Rawr,Yin,And Yang.

I Have Two Questions See I Have My Puffer fish in spring water is that okay?

And Also Um Rawr Started fighting with yin and yang (he was biting at there tails)

So There In Sperate Tanks My Mom Think Rawr Is Just A Mean Fish But I Think Diffrent See Rawr Is Smaller And Yin And Yang Are Bigger Maybe Its Genders?Male And Females? Im Not So Sure. Please Help! And Reply!

[finger11yo]

check out my tank rip drummy i feel sorry for your lost

[thecreator10ify]

Mine died.I miss my 2 puffy fish very much. I loved how they smiled at me everyday

[thecreator10ify]

I had 2 of those fish. But they died in a few months. I miss having my cute puffy fish. I want 2 get more fuffers O__O

[FactorXTech]

It's so cute :3

[TommyTyphoon]

R I P Drummy

[diego123451562]

r green puffer fish fresh or salt water cuz i got one n i hav no idea

[stupidkitty84]

@diego123451562 They usually live (and thrive) in brackish water, not fresh or salt but a sort of middle ground.

[09kitty23]

@diego123451562 i bought mine in walmart and sold as freshwater.. but i tell you.. there is a big difference of the fish and coloration if tanked in a salt water.. Fugu chan was in a salt water tank and he loves it

[ChrisakaMrXD]

@diego123451562 Green Spotted Puffers are brackish when small and saltwater when adult. Buy a wide range hydrometer and marine salt and keep the Specific Gravity around 1.006 when they're really small (1 inch)...and for every inch they grow, add 0.003 until the fish grows to 4 inches. Then you can raise the SG up to 1.020-1.022, which is already saltwater.

[mrswiss420]

@diego123451562 brackish (inbetween)

[Demolishor27]

How long do these live ?

[Pearlgirl179]

so cute ♥

[raggedyanarchist]

That is one cute fish!

[Summerskin90]

OMG love oldies, && puffers! :D

[darkiss4428]

i have 2 green spotted puffers that are the best fish ^_^ i had some small minnows that were to be food but now if you separate them they go to the corner and just lay there they all get along in fact my puffers haven't eaten any other fish at all cept for a craw-fish not even the plants in the tank

[laceyjtaylor08]

you're water is so clear... very nice.

[99bigmoney]

i have two and there babies

[99bigmoney]

i have two and there babies

[jordy427]

are they friendly to other fish.

[jordy427]

are they friendly to other fish

[jordy427]

can you put the puffer fish in a tank full of a small fish with out them being killed.

[09ShaunM]

I feed mine cockrelss, are meal worms or earthworms just as good?

[SHITtina666]

cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­te

looks like a pokemon !!!

[amonsterinyourcloset]

WHATS THIS SONG (:

[dock534]

lol i had three of these little guys there fun

[imjuzbored]

lolz....i thought puffers ate snails

[budddhas]

hello i have a GSP 4 days ago, he does not eat tropical food at all. im concern, now that i wath this wonderful video. i have to buy him warms....

[LisaLethalLicious]

How big is that fish do you think? Like 2 inches?

[ApAirJordan69]

This puffer pretty sweet :) walmart sucks at taking care of there fish i just saved a lil puffer fish from there poor lil guy. Where do i get snails petco dont have them..

[ApAirJordan69]

Sexy lil guy :) lol

[LisaLethalLicious]

I just got a GSP, and obviously, Walmart being Walmart, tells me that I only have to feed them Tropical fish food. And now I find out they have TEETH! Lol And I kinda learned about the hydrometer but all I have is a little pathetic fish bowl. I don't even have a big tank. Idk what to do. He's so little, too. Idk how big his snails or crustaeons shoudl be.

Plese reply.

Kudos(:

[ZickySawyer]

Oh My Gosh! i am in love!! This is adorable!!!

[86rithy]

so cute

[azntrocity]

i just got my puffer fish yesterday, and so far i have him in a fresh water tank ,so should i switch him to brackish water or fresh water is just fine?

Plz Repllllly

[OCtrackiepac]

you should slowly acclimate him to brackish. I'd get a hydrometer, one that starts at 1.000 then raise it 1.002 till you get to 1.005

[42OKing69]

what kind is brackish. i wanna get one too i have salt water fish. and the person at petco said its good in salt water.

[SoCalGriffith686]

They seem to do better in saltwater. I got a GSP from WalMart and immediately put her in my 55 gallon saltwater with my clown and coral beauty and is still healthy and getting fat 2 years later! :D

[metalfish24]

They really should be in brackish water, they can survive in fresh, but they don't like it, they don't live nearly as long.

[Melloki]

If it's a green spotted puffer like in the video, then yes, a brackish setup is the best. When he gets older you can also switch him to a full marine setup for even better results.

[nemirn]

Crap, I didn't see the other reply.... what OCtrsckiepac is correct, but over the long run they'll be healthier at higher salinity.

[azntrocity]

What the name of this song?

[LisaLethalLicious]

@azntrocity Poetry in Motion - Neil Sedaka

[Aqueousfoboy]

its very cute :D

[PookiePaw]

i found i teeny tiny green pufferfish at the beach :D

my sister was crying wen we left

[castleguardian]

I just got a spotted puffer today, the freshwater variety, and he is so adorable, lol. My brother breeds his own snails, so once a week I go to him and raid some snails from his tank to feed my little puffer. I also got some freeze dried food for him, so in combination with the snails I should have no worries about his teeth, I hope... This is my first puffer, so still figuring a lot out. But one thing is for sure, he is not a GSP.

[shifter510]

feed it frozen blood worm first lol b4 snail

[angryson6]

they can be very dangerous.. i know they have poison to kill..

[fuzzman25]

i feed mine earthworms and crickets that i find outside .... and i also give it shrimp that u can buy at walmart (the people kind) ... im gonna get another tank to breed snails in...

[Imzaotherr]

I have one, I'm gonna get 3 more cuz there are so playful and cute

[REV1T]

Do you know how big they get? And also when one of them is bigger than the other you can say bye bye to that smaller one. These are very aggressive puffers.

[LisaLethalLicious]

They get to be up to 6 inches.

Not necessarily.. While they ARE very aggressive, the bigger puffer may just pick at the little one if you have a big enough tank and they have plenty of room to themselves. If it gets very hungry and the little one is bite sized in a small habitat.. then yes, say farewell.

[zorcthedestroyer]

they are absolutely brill pets! i only got them this morning yet they are just so cool! they went beserk for the food when i fed them, nudged the filter when i turned it on, and swam towards the light when i turned that on!

[aznsin2223]

can some1 plz tell me wat equips do u need to grow a good and healthy gsp(green spotted puffer) ex wat equips like heater,filter etc and wat is brackish water and when they grow to be an adult do u need salt water

[brittishrcpatato]

why is there a pigion at 0:10 ?

[fuzzman25]

its an ornament in his aquarium

[lumpwump]

i just imagine it going nom nom nom

[redeyedol]

I miss my puffer... it was so happy and energetic, always friendly to me, then one day it stopped eating, and gradually became less and less energetic... then it died. :(

RIP puffer..

[davidnkimchi]

I heard the teeth grew beyond normal than other fishes. So, something like shellfish or w/e would have shaped their teeth. I'm planning on getting 2 puffers for college soon =] I hope they're good pets.

[REV1T]

On they color of his belly you can tell he is not feeling well. You have probably kept him on freshwater i presume. Yes? These puffer must be on brackish

[xlilxtommyx]

@redeyedol After a year u have to put salt rocks in ur puffers water so it can survive because when it grows up the puffer will need salt in the water to be able to happy

[theLabradorite]

@redeyedol comments like this make me sad, I'm too sensitive with pets... RIP to your puffer and Drummy as well.

[Coconutpie8]

do puffers have teeth or no?

[lovepaw1]

poor meal worm

[xqnzgangatax]

cool puffer is that the salt watter one if it is u mind telling me how big it gets

[guineapiglover4life9]

So those puffers eat mealworms?

[dicchua]

do you need to add salt to the water?

[b00too]

is the grey goldfish in there for him to beat up on , or another tank mate

[DomoKun619]

originally the goldfish was for him to play around with and eat, though he never picked on him and months later when the GSP died, the goldfish stayed next to his side

[FLIPminoman]

@DomoKun619 I hate when my fish die........poor puffy ;(

[ALNEAL]

@DomoKun619

Is it true that all puffers have to be fed on whole cockles just to keep their teeth 'plate' sharp and ground down?

[DomoKun619]

@ALNEAL - yeah things like little snails too

[marq46]

ow poor fish I is sad to hear that

[videogamenerd12345]

hey i have a gsp i am feeding it blood worms and brine shrimp should i give him anything else

[marcin12566]

a snail once every week or every two weeks is fine. Otherwise you seem to be doing fine.

[BerkoKaitlin]

Snails are a must. Although the teeth/beak won't necessarily for sure grow too long, they are molluscavores...and they love their snails...nom nom nom. Get smaller snails. Usually pet stores will give you some for free. I have spoken.

[Septhin]

I saw a fish, kind of square looking when I was schnorkeling in thailand. It was awesome, anyway I am not sure, but when I am thinking of it, I believe it could be a puffer fish, I aint sure, because it was pretty big. with HUGE eyes.. But it could be..

[pacificYO]

it might've been a cow fish. they look similar and are also box-like.

[Snowehtigor]

oooh yea it must be

[EehMoney]

whats the name of the song!?

Poetry In Motion - Johnny Tillotson

[bismillah445]

how big do the puffers get?

[spaz3322]

The green spotted puffer gets to be about 6 inches long, and has been known to live to about 15 years.

[BIGgourami]

chopsticks, lol

[graffitiballz]

lmao at music

[amyinmydadshouse]

wow that the best video ive looked at 2day and am realllllllllllllllllyyyyy bored so............................­....yeah

[KUMiN4DATNUMBA1SPOT]

will a meal worm do the same thing that i snail will for the tooth? since meal worms are some what crunchy

[videogamenerd12345]

hey man i have a video and i go to upload it and i write everything and get everything done but it doesnt upload it just stays in my videos what do i do to get it to upload?

[atghatani]

puffetry in motion. he is moving. he is eating

[serence88]

do all fish eat mealworm?

[Luke0zz]

Nope they can eat ,bloodworms, worms snails, fish, food, flakes, pellets, other live fish, shrimp, krill

[kcalhoun420]

that was a very good vid I really liked the editing how did you do it...

I would like to make a new vid of kiwi She is big and doing well by the way

[austinrodrigues]

pertty cool i had 5 but i didnt have a heater so they died they live in brackish water they get pertty big so you might want to watch how big of a tank you put it in. You can see them go too 'feeding my puffers' my name is austinrodrigues look for me. I like this video 5 stars i rate

[videogamenerd12345]

how much is a gsp and how many gallon tank does it need?

[aaaaaaaalphabet]

minimum of 30 gallons each

they get messy

[Luke0zz]

about 4 to 6 dollars i have 2 in my 55 gallon but you could probably have 1 in a 20 gallon and 2 in a 30

[themixguy1]

Bioload requirements for these guys is 30 gals per fish, since they get to 6" and can be territorial when past juvie stage... Looks like a fat happy puffer you got there!

[BMF90]

hey..did u have it in a freshwater tank or brackish???

[Luke0zz]

Brackish

[DisturbedAndMore]

ya can someone tell me if it would be ok to put two in a 2.5 gallon tank

[Luke0zz]

Nope but you could put 2 indain dwarf puffer in that tank make sure you have sand or gravel(sand is better) and have a plant.

[qnzchoe]

cute!

[DomoKun619]

for all those asking, the song is

Johnny Tillotson - Poetry in Motion

[videoclip425]

I just got some a while back!!! They seem to recignise me! how big are they gunna get?

[lorelome]

Up to six inches, over the next ten years. You'll eventually need a tank that holds 30 gallons per GSP, so if you have three, you'll need a 90-gallon tank. Yes, they recognize you. They're very smart.

[xFallenStarZ]

whats the song called?

[bestalivelilwayne]

what is the name of the song it is so nice plz if you know tell me thanks

[bestalivelilwayne]

yo man what is the song in this video it is so sick man plz tell me if any one nows

[Puffertrix]

Cute! Come check out my puffer too! 5 stars!

[crisy003]

where can you buy those worms?? I just bought a puffer

[DomoKun619]

any pet shop, they're called Meal Worms, usually they sell them in sizes small or large

[quader94]

in the reptile area

[lorelome]

The best food for them is snails, about the size of their eyes, and any crustacean, really - shrimp, etc. Bloodworms are great, too. Just make sure that they get crunchy, live food at least once a week. If it's not crunchy, their teeth will grow too long for them to eat and will need to be clipped before they starve. If you don't offer crunchy food at every/most feedings, you should also supply a cuttlebone for gnawing.

[SpitRhyma]

you're absolutely right! this is a big problem for many puffer owners who's puffers just "stop eating and starve to death" -- how does one provide a cuttlebone for a puffer? I have a friend who works a petshop with a "freshwater" fahaka puffer. I figure if it's being kept in freshwater at least make sure everything else is right so I told my friend. Snails didn't work but he now feeds the fish hard pellet food instead of live feeders! I want to teach him about this cuttlebone thing!

[pinklolleypop]

its so adorable

im so jelous =[

[palaghiuc]

RIP Drummer :)

At least he had good eats!!

[kinxycpl]

i wouldn't put two in a ten gallon, they will nip really bad at each others tails. every once in a while you get two that get along but its rare..

[dvdisconnected]

would it b ok to put two puffers in a 10 gallon?

[DomoKun619]

I've done it before, its a good chance they're going to try to kill each other. You can put some kind of metal screen between them. Send a video when you do it. Good Luck

[Ilovezebrapig]

lol its tring to get away!

[wog33]

I have a small GSP i just got him!!!!!!! and my 30gal tank is completely freshwater because i have some african cilchlids in there... im afraid thtat if i make it brackish the africans wont survive, what should i do?

[Adelaide2k8]

I love your pufferfish it is so cool

[puffythepuffer]

ha ha ha the fist 13 seconds i broke out laughing ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[mcgrady7761]

wonderful tank and wonderful fish. come check out my tanks. and leave comments and tips for keeping care of these gsp's. It will be going in the tank that i show at the end of the video.

[arctic6monkey]

my puffer`s cool 2

[ColorMeVicious]

this is funny

[josh07080708]

i was gonna get one of these until i found out how big they got LOL

[Harkonnendog]

hahahahah

[evason357]

the first 3 seconds is helarious with that music

[kktpp]

THIS IS AMAZZZZZZZING!

[TheGreatPickles]

XD love the music. ADORABLE fish. The pigeon is..random.

[ThowHilton]

my puffer is evil it like.. makes all the other fish ugly and have no fins

[cuttern2seam20]

My puffers tails are curling up more than usual. anyone no why this could happen? waters perfect

[cuttern2seam20]

my puffers tails are curling up a little more than usual. water is perfect any idea why this would happen?

[chinnakone]

i have the same one but it's not eating like before i think hes sick of he's gonna die

[jfranc123]

Hey i just bought four spotted puffer fish. I didn't add any salt in the aquarium, just the conditioner. Is that bad? please reply a.s.a.p.

[cardcityrocker]

Yeah you need a brackish tank, meaning there should be a certain amount of sea salt. A puffer will survive in freshwater, but not for very long, plus it's immune system will drastically weaken, I recommend you salt that bitch.

[illuin7]

killer fish! :)

[Snotface3]

I had a aquarium with a lot of cool fish I had no clue that this fish would eat them all :( I got so mad when it ate my Dragon Fish.

[NeoAndersonn]

what the heck, a dove inside the tank?

[freakjoshy]

could i feed my figure 8 puffer meal worms? please reply

[ANZology]

Yes! But make sure not to over feed him/her.

[minniemoo4y]

aww its cute ^^)

[poovid4131]

whats the song called? and nice puffer fish

[seng585]

what do puffer fish eat ima get one tommorow for 6.99$

[loveis2exotic]

That was cute. =)

I'm getting some green puffers tomarrow.

I'm buying the heater,and some bloodwarms today.

Then I will have my tank set up. =D

[clarehair]

lovely video!i have 2 figure 8 puffs and they are adorable

[Koyori5]

Why does these things die so quickly. They live up to 10years and everyone kills their GSP after 6months! is it because they are overfeeding? or not adding marine salt??

[Legoman2255]

its because people mistake figure 8 puffer fish for green spotted puffer fish they are very different fish green spotted puffer fish need a tank that is over 40 gallons because they grow up to 10 inches long and figure 8 puffer fish grow up to 2.5 inches long and need a 10 gaooln tank!!!

[Legoman2255]

and most people dont know that green spotted puffers have this tooth that grows really big and it can stop them from eating so you have to feed the GSP feeder snails so that it can break that tooth and you have to feed them the snail every mounth and a half!!

[Kaystar87]

A.People don't know that they are brackish water fish and they need marine salt, not aquarium salt.B.They do overfeed because they're so hard to resist.C.They're very delicate fish, they have no scales and it makes them more susceptable to water changes.D.People don't give them the right nutrition, these fish have to have snails.E.They're not for beginners and stores 99 percent of the time have misinformed information on the fish.

[saltjohnswharf]

Very true but add in that they also eat mussels and other bivalves. Hard shelled inverts are good too. Also being susceptable to water changes makes these fish less disease resitant causing them to get internal parasites, ich, lice, etc. One should cautiously treat these fish without scales as most any treatment is caustic and will "scrub" a fish. Causes some nasty itching in a puffer. Cute as they are and as easy as they seem puffers are not the easiest fish to care for.

[EricaNoel6]

Aww! My puffer fish would do the EXACT thing!

My puffer fish I named Poofie died too.

She was such a good puffer fish.

Mine died right after she laid eggs, but she was the only one in the tank..

So I'm still wondering the exact reason she died

:(

[DR117]

what do they eat,because i give him cichlid food and he dont eat it?please tell me

[geebody]

they eat anything fish flakes(not recommended), mealworms,bloodworms,cnails,st­uff like that ohh and feeder fish small feeder fish

[puffcrusader696]

MUST GIVE THEM SNAILS!!! and ghost shrimp is good too. i feed mine krill often but snails are a must and ghost shrimp right behind it. krill a good everyday diet

[ZOEY101VIDS]

Is a 29gal/110 liter aquarium big enough for 2 green spotted puffers??????

[DomoKun619]

yes thats big enough, though I use to have 2 spotted puffers and they'd always fight and nibble on each other

[puffcrusader696]

they are NOT supposed to fight each other. apparently they were in too small an aquarium. 29 is hardly big enough for one.

[puffcrusader696]

no! go 55 or up! 40 for one is minumum so 55 at least for two!!!

[waw1332]

I have had GSP for almost two years. I got him when he was just a tiny baby. He is living apparently very nicely in a ten gallon tank and is now almost 3 inches long. I just have been adding conditioning salt. He is basically in fresh water/not brackish and is doing fine.

[ZOEY101VIDS]

Is a 29gal/110 liter aquarium big enough for 2 green spotted puffers??????

[ZOEY101VIDS]

Is a 29gal/110 liter aquarium big enough for 2 green spotted puffers??????

[ryu8888]

XD so cute

[DrunKnZoid]

is it natural for a puffer to eat blood worms and then shit blood worms?!!!?!??! i bought mine today and they ate blood worms and now they are shitting blood worms HELPPP

[manoosh808]

lol i have 1 in a 1.5 gallon tank with a nice filter lol.mine eats every second

[epicstove]

I have one named 'Professor Aronax' his tank is 10 gallon and set up brackish. Awesome personality. I've been known to hand feed him bits of porkchop.

[carlx30]

i have 3 in freshwater and they're doing fine
