Free: dwarf puffer

[chris_todd]

After decimating the snail population in my 75g planted tank, he has now decimated my shrimp population as well, so he's got to go. Free to a good home. I have no idea what species he is, it was just sold to me as a "dwarf puffer".

PM me if interested, I can deliver to this Saturday's meeting.

The dwarf puffer is spoken for.

I really need something to get rid of snails in my african tank.

Chilotilapia rhoadesii or Neolamprologous tretocephalus

Chilotilapia rhoadesii or Neolamprologous tretocephalus

Ok, thanks. I like the looks of Chilotilapia rhoadesii and it would go well in my tank, but it appears to grow pretty large .... Do you know if it's easy to find?

The thread is officially high jacked. Sorry ...

LOL, not a problem! I felt kind of silly posting only to find a taker in GWAPA 15 minutes later.

Other snail eater african cichlids:
Chilotilapia euchilus
Mylochromis epichorialis
Naevochromis chrysogaster

Or you could always do ANY synodontis catfish and loach...

Thanks for the info. So, synos eat snails? Even Eupterus and petricolas?

Man, those are all pretty nice looking cichlids. Especially love the Chilotilapia euchilus. My wife would definitely love the lips.

I have one and so does Mike (DiscusnAfricans).
Slow growers, pretty independant if kept alone (not in a group). I haven't seen my guy go into the substrate yet. He's very friendly, doesn't hide when I clean the tank or nothing. I could pick him up with my hand if I wanted.
They're not all too common, some stores (I know That Fish Place has some in stock), and online stores/breeders have them. Check around.
And I think they grow to a medium sized hap (6" or so).

I would def look into getting one!

Where is That Fish Place?

Lancaster, PA. You can also order fish off their website if you don't mind shipping.

But if you've never been there, you should go. It's a very pleasant drive (well, from Baltimore it is, anyway) and a great store. Try to go on a Saturday when the Aquarium Club of Lancaster County (www.aclcpa.org) is having one of their meetings, that makes it double fun!

Just got one today at Annandale Super Pets. He is barely 2", but should survive in the tank with big boys.
