undercover Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Can anyone please name this fish ? I bought them a while ago, they are about 1 inch long, very very aggressive ! they think nothing of attacking carp 18 inches long. Nasty but amusing fish. I have now separated them to another pond as it seems they can not stay with other fish. I have tried them on all kinds of food but have never seen them eat anything ? I imagine they are carnivores does anyone know what they eat ? Thank you in advance for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanno Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 It looks like some kind of Triggerfish. Very territorial and live on a diet of crustaceans, shellfish and sea urchins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undercover Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Maybe your right ? my fish are living in fresh water but I have an idea they are actually salt water fish ? they seem to be doing ok in fresh water so I wonder if they live in rivers close to the sea ? The overwhelming issue with these fish is their aggression. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanno Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 OK, cannot be Trigger fish than. Google "Figure Eight Puffer Fish" and I think that is what you have. They are fresh water fish and they do not like tank mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undercover Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Thank you hanno, yes this is the fish I have, they like brackish water so it seems they live in the river close to the sea. Looks like the tank I have moved them to is not big enough so now I must move them again. Thanks again for the help.

kevc Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I seen these at Chatuchak a couple of months ago asked if they were ok to mix with others and they said you have to keep them by themselves. Very nice looking fish for a freshwater tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donut21 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 99% sure it's a Puffer fish of which there are many differant types. Most can live in fresh, salt and brackish waters. Some can grow very large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
