- I finally have a POISONOUS pet (not venomous lol)
In this video we prepare my aquarium for freshwater pea pufferfish
Pufferfish have peaked my interest for a very long time. Between the interesting Japanese dish that kills consumers if prepared wrong, and watching male pufferfish make elaborate, artistic structures to attract females, their intelligence and entire existence has always interested me.
I am so happy I finally have the opportunity to keep a few pea pufferfish.

That plant went rogue and was like “aight boys ima head out now” *floats up*
pleco: WhY aRe yOU rUnNinG!
I've kept these and they are awsome, for such tiny fish each has its own personality
I've always wanted a decorator crab. I could toss in shiney jewels all kinds of stuff. Or a giant isopod.. The biggest isopod on earth.. He would be my friend and I would call him Joey.
LOL more like Mr tarantula lion!! U see that Maine lol wow!!
I want an isopod to name it dorito.

Omg i love giant isopods mine would be named Ivan
@@milehightarantulas8563 hey they could chill and ponder how to conquer the tank they are in.

It's like cute week here on RUclips, Exotics Lair has baby turtles, you get squee puffee fish, and The Dark Den shows Cappucino and Kiwi....I'm so happy right now...😍😍😍
Back in high school, a couple of friends and I started a tropical fish store in what used to be my garage. We didn't make a lot of money, but it was a good experience. Care for fish must not have been very advanced in the 70s, we only worried about pH in those days. Ammonia levels? I wonder if they live significantly longer lives now. Anyway, because of that early experience, I found this video to be interesting and fun.
When people cringe when I tell them I have tarantulas, I explain that I play with them the way I'd play with fish. I don't.
Tarantulas are the best! OK, my 7 cats and 2 dogs are pretty OK, too. 😜🤣🤗
Haha you sure are right. We have fish at my job in the lunchroom, i play with them since i am always the first one even talking to them. But my Bird eaters (18) they are the real thing. But like 95% of the people in my country are scared of them... eventhough we don't have poisened ones. Yeah since i like stuff the most when others don't, i just love spiders. Hoping my P. Regalis is laying some eggs soon. On topic, you are so right with every word you just responded.👍🏼
On topic of the video, i ones cleaned a aquarium of people who kept me in their house for a while.. they had fish and when they baught new fish, they kept the bag with the new fish in the water of their new envoirement to get used of the temperature and all. I don't see her doing this 🤫 might be wrong, since she speeded up the vid.
bruh if ur cat knocks them over they're dead
You have a male and a female. Aquarium is perfect, I would just recommend that you add a large patch of java moss. They use it to spawn their eggs into it. Mine breed once a year during summertime, when water temperatures rise. They need to fatten up, yours are currently a bit on the skinny side, although not dangerously so. You can train them to eat from tweezers within two weeks or so. Start offering them small amounts of bloodworms that you drop from tweezers, and once they associate the tweezers with food, they will start picking bloodworms directly from it. Then add really tiny pieces of raw frozen shrimp into the mix and they will quickly learn to eat that too. They also like to eat small white dwarf isopods, maybe you already have those in some of your terrariums.
Puffers tend to sometimes suffer from worm infections. If yours lose their appetite at some point, treat them against nematodes. Have fun with your new friends!
Oh, and the Pleco definitely needs some wood in the aquarium. They eat small parts of it which aids their digestion.
I've always wanted a frogfish. Local pet store sells 'em occasionally. Someday I will have one.
"You can't really form a bond with tarantulas."
Homoeomma Chilensis: "Hold my beer." ;)
"Hold my superworm"
I like how they stuck together after being put into the tank
It's very nice you mixed it up with a aquarium Puffer video. I have had Green Spotted Puffers before and find them adorable. That Aquarium Shop you went to looks great the way they tested your water and the way they kept their Plants. Thank you for the video Kat , it is awesome.
I used to have an Abei Puffer. I called him Abe because he killed everything with his huge beak 😅 But he got as big as my hand! Also he had a great life, always fed him blood worms, and actually I fed him a cricket once and he shredded that thing 🤣
I had some of these nearly 40 yrs ago. Ol Puffums
I love your videos. You are so informative but still make it fun to watch. ❤️
thank u :)
neat-O! hope the new tank set-up pans out. Also, me thinks Mr. Tarantula Kat is a patient and supportive person ;)
People: So you have poisonous tarantulas and venomous puffer fish?
Awe! The cute babbbiiieeesss! I used to feed my oscar frozen shrimp and guppies. He loved the guppies the most, he'd be super greedy and eat them all in a few minutes. Fish tanks are too much work.
I am so happy for you. I am same as you, I cant keep up with all the needs of aquarium needs, wish I was since they are gorgeous creatures but I am just a horrible person that knows their limits
Yes I understand. One tank is my limit 😆
yes!! Pea puffers look at things and examine, presumable forming opinions hahaha
Tarantula may be in the channel name but we stan all pets. Also I absolutely loved the hoodie sleeves that were huge with tiny hand holes. Very Sheev "the Senate" Palpatine esque 😎
I laughed
After watching @fishforthought I think you did a really nice job setting up your tank! Way to go with the live plants and being prepared before getting fish! 4.5/5 👍
i tried :') now let's hope i got the maintenance down too. i feel so paranoid
I have faith in you 👍
Kat, I've had fish and T's for decades. I never change more that 50% of the water at a time. Good luck with your Aquarium.
thank you :) I won’t do that again. I only did to change the gravel to a planted substrate. Will only be doing 10-15 weekly now
Now we can make zombies!
Venom = offense
Poison = defense
Also my turtle gamera died last week.
sorry for your loss :(
Did he die fighting laser shooting birds?
I really miss my tanks, 55 gallon, 20 gallon high, 5 gallon fluval, and 6 gallon eclipse. My 55 had both sides of that castle and was heavily planted.
Wow that’s a lot of tanks d:
@@tarantulakat I worked for a pet store in a different chapter of life, so I had access to all the cool tanks and other pet stuff coming out with decent discounts. I had a soft spot for unwanted animals from customers, at one point I had the tanks full of unwanted fish, 6 hamsters, a red eyed tree frog and three tanks of hermit crabs.
I love puffers, I had a few different kinds for a long time. Definitely my favorite fish to keep. They love sea monkeys (brine shrimp) too!
I found your page a few weeks ago an you do a super job yourself thank you very much, I'm a former owner for tarantulas an I really enjoyed so this is wonderful iv done the opposite of yourself I went from tarantulas to fish an reptiles
I had 3 obt orange baboons spiders from Africa an I care for them for a few years tell i sold the female an fail at a breed so that left me with one beautiful female
Befor i got to them i had a rose hair that i gave to my buddy once i got more use to the spices then i moved to a blue bottle bottom i think it was called then on to a birdeater
The pink toe salmon bird eater to be precise it was a very great learning experience
Sense then Iv got about 10 glass tanks for fish
Started with a bettathen moved to tetras an other cool looking fish that were easy
Then I got myself a oscar in a 60 gallon
Sense then iv moved on to cichlids of all kinds I have 5 fish tanks now a 20 a 10 a 30 a 60 an a 25 set up an more to come I had way more setups but I changed 4 to reptiles I got 2 anoles a pacman frog a leopard gecko
I also own a snake 😂
I kept a 29 high tank with a cherrywood frame & stand with white sand kissing gourmets and when I bought them they were about the size of a quarter or gold dollar and when I found someone who loved fish to take them to his home tank and all because my new apartment excepted my 2 100lbs dog but not a fish tank over 15 gallons and at that time I had just upgraded to a 55 gal long and I decorated it according to the holidays gravel and all and kept hologram wrapping paper on the back of the tank. He also took my dinosaur of a algae eater named Atlas lol
I taught that fish to eat from my hand❤️
His new owner fed him brined shrimp 🍤
Spoiled fish I tell ya! I cried after I packed them in his car! It was winter time and he had totes with heated water and moving blankets to get them home so I knew they were in GR8 hands and I visited and saw him eating shrimp❤️
They definitely have connections with their keepers‼️
No question there‼️❤️
I love pea puffers, but I love snails too. So I have a female betta, some cherry shrimp, and a mystery snail that live at peace in my planted 5 gal. 🐌💖🐡
I’m just getting into keeping T’s. My partner also likes arachnids but, he’s an aquarist. If we get a place together, we’re gonna have so many weird and wonderful pets 🤦🏻♂️😂
He’s also a huge fan of puffers!
the animal crossing characters speaking caught me off guard once again 🤣
Good luck with the tank. That bunch of plants you got is Ludwigia and it is great and will grow like crazy. I love puffers but I've never been able to keep them successfully but that was years ago before I knew what I know now about keeping a planted tank. :)
Awwwww they are sooo tiny!!! I've never seen baby puffer. As for eating them there's a particular stock in their body that holds their venom or poison and they have to remove that completely before eating the fish.
it's not a baby pufferfish, it's a pea puffer. they only get about 2 inches at the very most
You are right Kat they are super cute.
I looove fish I keep 4 tanks. 4 species of snails and some guppies and betta!!! I AM SO HAPPY YOU INTO THIS DON'T STOOOOP
Bro I wish we could all chill and talk fish you and every one of your followers lol. You are going to have a fish mafia come for you, For Fish Loves!!!! 💪🐟💪 I watch all of the fish channels!!!!!
I am so peeved I am so late, I did not receive a notification........ Wtf RUclips. I follow you in insta too I missed this but How???
Those cute little feesh look kinda like a 1960s Ford short school bus with a tail. And no wheels. Perhaps I need less caffeine and more sleep.
Fascinating. Thanks!
Never thought of fish as a gateway addiction....so crazie👍👍👍👍👍
From my experience with puffers their hit and miss and can suddenly turn. I have seen a bristlenose pleco that has been bitten in half by a mbu puffer, their beak is extremely sharp. I personally wouldn't keep with bottom dwellers, I have seen pea puffers nip the fins totally off Corydoras and I have seen other puffers do harm. Their extremely curious and will bite it if curious.
The tetrodotoxin in the pufferfish is not obtained from their diet, many have extremely different diets and do not focus on venomous species, quite a few specialise on a diet of just fish while others are on invertebrates. They don't eat algaes and it would not grow in their gut due to lack of light in the gut, gut flora is another thing.
I wouldn't personally feed any fish bloodworm, the bacteria in the gut can be an irritant as can the hairs on the actual larvae, it is difficult for most fish to digest and many fish can become addicted to it and refuse to feed on anything else. I had a mbu puffer that i had to wean off bloodworm and it easily cost over £100 from feeding live river shrimp for a few months and then slowly tempting him to mussel, prawns and other more nutritious frozen food. Instead tubiflex, brine shrimp, daphina, cyclops etc. would be a much better mix, I have had a few puffers feed on dry food specifically the South American pufferfish. But their extremely messy fish and although hardy do take a lot of work in water changes.
I love that castle, its awesome. I havent got a fish tank set up yet, but when id do i need a castle like that.
Hi Kat love your videos girl hope one day to meet you and see all your amazing animals 👍💯 I had pea puffers at one time but they died cuz I overfed I was sad about that
Awww there so cute ❤️ I’ve always liked them too but I’m not sure how they would do with my guppies
Oh the puffers will definitely love your guppies!
They are adorable!!! ❤️
Stumbled across your videos last week and love the videos an ur love for the little guys. Keep up the good work youll blow up asap
always happy to see people doing what the enjoy on RUclips :)))
I have pea puffer fish too. They are great.
Fun fact: River Monsters' Jeremy Wade, did an investigation, i believe, somewhere in southeast asia/Indonesia/malaysia, where a species of freshwater puffer fish was responsible for killing dozens of people. They've actually got an extremely sharp "beak" & an extremely powerful bite force.
Me: forgets there’s a poisonous fish in my glass of water and drinks it.
I use to keep a few large cichlids, I had to give them up they woke my flatmates they made a sound like a large dog drinking water. pleco fish was my favorite (they were in the same tank.
I loved watching them clean the glass.
Have a nice week
A followup. You ought to consider cichlids - maybe an Oscar. Did you know they can live 10-20 years? They are kind of the old worlds of the tropical fish world. That should attract you like a moth to flame! I never owned one, but one of my buddies did. Their behaviors were more interesting than most other fish. Taking particular care of their eggs, territorial behaviors. The personality of a T in a fishes body. Just something to consider.
this makes me miss keeping fish sooo much
Yay fish lesson! They are super adorable and I love the castle in there!
I have a pea puffer and he is living with my guppies, tetras, goby. Everyone gets along with each other.
They are beautiful, thank you for sharing
Nice Kat, I loved aquariums since I was a young kid. Did fresh water fish and turtles. Young adult I even got into saltwater fish with clown fish and hippo tangs yes before finding Nemo lol. And 1998 in Quebec Canada we had a horrible ice storm that took out the power for weeks. I lost my 55 gallon SW with live rock about 3500$ back then. Lost interest in that hobby for the reason of vulnerability and cost. Still have the interest when at the pet store to look at fish but my main hobby now is my t's (slings and juveniles) about 20 of them. Nice colors, easy to feed and not hard to leave them for a week or two without worrying about them passing. Love your fish and a nice setup Kat 👍 and if I recall right the puffers that are extremely poisonous are the saltwater verities and the freshwater/brackish are low to no poison. Keep up the great videos!!!
Omg. I don’t think I could ever get over that kind of loss. I’m so sorry that happened to you
Great video 😁👍 pretty fish
Main reason I don't keep fish anymore,too much maintenance!
I use filter booster that works proper well
There's a Hapalopus sp. Columbia "klein" available for sale at a Reptile shop near me and was just wondering whether it would be worth getting it considering my parents are only allowing me one more T 😕
It totally depends on what you already have, and what you look for in a tarantula. They’re really cool. But they’re small and not as long lived as other species.
@@tarantulakat @panfriedd thanks, I have b. Hamorii, Emilia, Vagans and G. Pulchripes so nothing too special. Wouldn't want anything too aggressive but don't mind if it's a bit bolty.
I keep green spotted puffer they get about 6 inches u should keep one
This are my favorite fish in my tank! So responsive and alert!
What cute little guys. Great new additions.
Aww such purty wee things! Cant wait to watch them grow. X
omg I have always wanted a pufferfish since I saw finding Nemo years ago lol so so cool congrats and cant wait to see more vids about ur 2 little additions to the pet family :)
Kat your supposed to soak the bag till its close to the same temp before releasing them . Just a heads up. My father raised fish.
They soaked about 30 mins while I slowly added water from the tank to properly acclimate them.
@@tarantulakat thats the right way . Best luck with them they are gorgeous I hope to watch them grow up.
that's so awesome!! I'm jealous
And they're smart and you can train them.. the only time the puff up is if they feel threatened... pretty much like everything else that can hurt us. I love puffer fish Kat!!. You're really going to enjoy having them. Are they male and female? Oh I should probably watch the video before I start asking questions.
They are super cute!! Neat little guys!
Cute little buggers!
Fun vid Kat
So cute!💘
Oh my gosh they’re so cute
i never thought that p puffer fish could be pet. coz here in Philippines, some people eat p puffer.
Sooo cute! 💞💞💞
Ah the Pea Puffer. I have one in his own aquarium. IN my time I've found each, like the Betta has their own personality. For example, my one is shy, and oddly enough has shrimp in his tank, he simply ignores them.
That’s what I hear and why I ultimately decided to get them despite having the bristlenose pleco:) thank you for sharing
Yep, I'll stick with caring for the spiders & let my Hubby deal with keeping the fish happy, which is difficult when our plecos pull up every plant he puts in there. 😊
I like your aquarium, very pretty, and so are your new puffer friends.
Very nice puffers pigmeos im have tree sames the only bad is what are carnivorus ✌️😎
Fish feeding clip would be cool if you have bloodworms or fish they can eat
the animal crossing sounds always make me so happy! are you excited for March? :) :) :)
too excited lol help
tarantula kat me too!! i’m so excited to decorate my yard 😂
Hmm...fugu fish, I wish I was back in Japan. Best business trip ever. But... I guess keeping one "alive" could be quite interesting. Btw, you are right about diet making them poisonous. Fugu fish raised by humans for restaurants are not poisonous. Even the most poisonous part, liver, is safe to eat. :D
I heard that! But I also saw that some specifically want the wild one still lol. I don’t know if I could do that. But at the same time, if it was my culture I’m sure I would at least try it lol
@@tarantulakat fish is delicious. So it is good that they breed them on their own and not destroy slowly population, like in case of eel and tuna. But it is true that some want to feel some risk while eating the ones caught in the wild. The cooks need special exams to be allowed to prepare this fish and the restaurants have a special container to keep remains locked. They say that talented cooks can leave the small amount of poison to entertain the guests... well, my boss took me to the restaurant with a non-poisonous version. No fools in my group!
Still, many people die yearly because of mistakes and people who cook this fish without a license.
NO! NAUGHTY! MOAR SPIDEEZ!
Wow they're cuter than I imagined! Have you got names for them yet?
not yet d:
there's a part of p puffer fish that is poisonous. one of my friend eat p puffer fish in front of me and he only get rid of that poisonous part and then its good to go. he says you can cook it anyway you want as long as you take that poisonous part away but the problem is that, some way of cooking as we usually do with normal fish doesnt fit on p puffer fish's flesh. i mean you can still eat it but it does not taste as good as the other recipe. thats what he says.
Cool puffers. Do these need a bit of salt?
When my tetras all pass away to old age, I wil maybe get a medium sized puffer.
Fish tanks are just a lot of work compared to T's and scores, so I have been going away from fish personally.
Pea puffers are complete freshwater species of pufferfish. That being said freshwater has salt in it naturally as well its salinity is just much much much lower then salt water. So technically all fish need some amount of salt :)
Soo cute!!!❤ 🐡
Aw they are soo cute
Plz update us on these little puff balls 😁. I've always wanted a bunch of these in a tank. I'm a trucker so I can't keep fish 😢
they’re doing really well:) if you follow me on Instagram I usually post them to my story eating snails and bloodworms 🐛
Get rid of the castle and replace with wood and stone
What song did you use?
For your planted tank, did you need to get a CO2 system for your plants? If so, which system do you own?
Not for these plants, they should be ok without. I would ask Pecktec here on RUclips. He’s much more experienced with plants
tarantula kat thanks girlie!! ☺️☺️
They're so cute omg
Okay first of all that’s a Pea puffer. Their minimum tank requirements is 5gallon per puffer. They CAN be aggressive be aggressive towards other fish. If you think keeping fish is “a lot of work” then you should have not got puffers. The best diet for them is a live diet of black worms/blood worms/brine shrimp; which overall means more water changes. You should honestly take them back or rehome them to someone who can properly care for them
Also they are not poisonous 🤦🏼♀️
My tank is 16 gallons. Where did you get that it’s under 5? Did you even watch the video before commenting? Pufferfish ARe poisonous. I even mentioned in this video how these specific kind (yes I said pea puffers, not sure why you’re confused) are debated to be though although I read reports of fish falling ill after eating them. I said they can be aggressive as well. Just because an animal is a lot of work you should rehome it? I completely disagree with that. I have a lot of animals that can be a handful but I find the reward in caring for them to be worth it. Thanks for commenting
Go away
I was totally confused through this video and had to do some goolging - I thought all puffers were marine species!
Also had no idea their poison was acquired.
Please give us an update on these?
My whole life is a dark room... a big... dark... room.
Should establish tank over 2 weeks
they are p cute little fishs they are kindve tubby lol not exactly sleek and speedy
how big do they get and do they only puff and go pointy if smth trys to eat them or do they do it sometimes anyway idk like just to stretch or w/e
i think that when they puff they fill themselves with water and might die so i'ma try not to scare them lol
Two thumbs up.
omg i'm so excited for updates DDDD:::::
I started with a T because my dorm didn’t allow fish which I only learned after buying a small tank... and whala!
They’re so tiny! I had no idea that they were that small!
