[@NessysSanctuary]

I was not prepared for the opening shot I admit after I stopped screaming......WHATTT THE FUBAR ISSSS TTTHHHAAATTTT. I have never ever seen anything like that in my pond filter. This an amazing series thank you

[@DiBy-0]

Wow, congrats Mark. I believe this is the first video I have seen on this subject. Looking forward to the updates!

[@shesellsfish]

First time I've ever seen pea puffers spawning. Looking forward to updates on fry and juvies. 👍💕👍

[@madfishdiva]

I look forward to seeing the puffer fry. Those worms/creatures are like a train wreck for me, I think they are gross but I can't look away. LOL

[@johnkendall2736]

I love these little fish, as soon as I settled in our new house cycling a new tank for half a dozen and building my own Koi pond. Fantastic video as usual Mark, great inspiration love to you and yours

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Sounds like your going to be busy mate.😀👍

[@johnkendall2736]

@@MARKSAQUATICS Oh yes mate, miss my Koi waited 6 years to be in a position to have a pond again. It will be move couch down TV plugged in now wheres that shovel

[@lilynorthover8378]

Anyone else find themselves keeping perfectly still and holding their breath so the puffers don't see them?😂 No? Just me then.

[@benjamindewald3661]

Those pea puffers are HUGE, love the vid

[@michaela-be4le]

Just amazing Mark... can't wait to see the fry :)

[@kategonzalezmorgan7208]

I was having a crappy day, been in all kinds of pain today. But then I saw Mark had posted a new video and I went "Ooooo! Puffer fish!" and everything seemed better. Thanks Mark, for brightening my day.

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Loving this pea puffer series! I've kept them before a long time ago.. One of my favourite fish ever! Will definitely be setting up a tank for them soon after watching this!

[@dentednj]

OMG baby puffers would be the cutest lil things with their giant eyes.

[@Populiervogel]

Fascinating very rare footage, fingers crossed for some offspring, good luck!

[@laceytopmiller794]

Can't wait to see tiny puffers

[@matoldfield]

Great vid mark hope the little guys survive and nice to see great breeding vids to help others out in the hobby I wanna try breeding theses once I get my fish room sorted thank you mark

[@legendaryjohnny7483]

Unbelievable, those puffers are larger than the average size, that's amazing, keep it up, because they are doing very well

[@bettablue2660]

I love the puffer fish😃. Great video! I would really love to see Blue Rams

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

I'm sure there on my list. 😊

[@martisl9652]

This is so cool, Mark! Im excited to see what happens next! My mating pair stopped "dancing" couple of days ago.. ...dont think they were successful. :/

[@migueldelaparte7485]

Incredible breeding vídeos man! Thank you

[@maritsastuart439]

Your dwarf puffers are sooo cute. You have inspired me to breed mine too.

[@heinvdwalt3618]

Thnx Mark, keep us updated pls

[@andrewgriffiths7763]

Amazing as usual Mark

[@fenderstrat3837]

Great stuff as usual Mark

[@nathancaffey3742]

I enjoy watching the videos

[@TheBudgetAquarist]

Great video.

[@chefrarestones1960]

Love these lil guys. So interesting and the way the pattern on them changes is awesome. Did the male always have the dark stripe down his belly or is that his spawning dress? Thanks for all the great videos you give us!! Your the best!!! ⭐️💫🌟

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

They get it as they mature, but it gets darker during spawning time.😀👍

[@Wiliamstuff]

maybe he's lying, maybe it's just 2 fishes swimming around ....

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

Great video buddy

[@ernstbothma1612]

Nice I like puffer fish alot

[@Kaz8692]

Love the Vid, I have 5 pea puffers and there is 2 that have paired up, he nudges her like that every few days. Never seen any babies or eggs but I do have a 60x36 cm tank heavily planted tank. I don't think I could catch them as they get stressed easily. So hopefully someday one baby might get away if they are eating them. Can't wait to see some from you if your lucky just so I can see how they look :-) Just a thought but do you think catfish or shrimp would eat the eggs? as I have some of them in my tank as well.

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Fingers crossed for you. 😊

[@jetjazz05]

I've got a tank with some endlers and neocaradina shrimp in it, there's a big ball of monte carlo I have growing in the tank, turns out it's a terrific spawning area for the shrimp. I like it because it has a different look than moss, but maybe most importantly it filters the water like a maniac. Parameters are rock solid even in small tanks with a big piece of monte carlo in it.

[@pinotgrigio4707]

Excellent video mark, very knowledgeable as always. Nice one for sharing your knowledge with everyone👍🏽

[@azikiwe12]

Great vid. Thanks. What kind of plant is in the left corner?

[@jazerlights8870]

Great vid!

[@nathanaelj83]

awesome job

[@barendfokke4602]

Great Job :) Can u say something about the water condition in this tank?

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Ph is 7 temperature 26.

[@KniFz]

Amazing video!!!

[@thezugbug]

Is the puffer with the small black dots perhaps the imitation species? they look the same when young but then change as they mature. awesome videos :)

[@johnboy5058]

Nice job

[@lisasaxon7828]

Do you think that Xmas moss will be ok for them to spawn amongst Mark? Or should I find something like Riccia or the like?I just wanna give them the best possible chance of spawning. There will be 4 in a 57 Litre Fluval Flex (I’ll need to awe the flow from jets by placing a course sponge over each novel as I hear they only like gentle water movement. OR should I place a sponge filter in the corner n just use that instead in the fluval flex ? Will take up a bit of room n look like n eye sore in tank but if you think that’s better I’ll do it. Bow those lil black fly larvae are hell creepy lil critters...

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Christmas moss is fine to use. Best to keep flow to a minimum as their not strong swimmers. So yes use the sponge. 😀👍

[@andreashessler838]

Have you got soft water Mark? I get the feeling the chances of me getting a spawn in the East Midlands (19 dgh) would be quite slim. That being said, my single pea puffer seems to be happy enough.

[@raymondt7908]

Hi Mark. Greetings once again from Germany. We are watching your puffer videos with great interest. Strangely enough our own next project was to set up a dwarf puffer tank so when we saw that you had started a series of videos we couldn't have been happier. So I now have a question I'm hoping you can help to answer for me. My husband has his own tank (30l Nano) which is for his bee shrimp. A few years back he tried keeping bee shrimp but sadly after only a few months they all died. This has actually happened twice and he just doesn't understand why he keeps losing them. Anyway two years on he is trying once again. It's still the same tank, the tank has been cycled and all parameters are fine. Nitrite 0,01 PH between 6.5 and 6.8 Not sure of his other parameters but I know he's checked everything and said that all was ok. Two weeks ago he added his new shrimps. Today I noticed that one has sadly died. He's at work at the moment but I know he's going to be devastated. I really don't know why we are having such bad luck and I was kind of hoping you may be able to shed some light on the subject. Hope you can help. Ray and Armin.

[@zimzimzalatim]

Any idea what plants are in this tank? I hear him say the names but I can't spell them correctly. Great video

[@rocki_bb]

What water parameters did you use? I'm hoping to setup a couple of breeding trios from a shipment I have coming in next week

[@countrycandlessoaps4997]

Hey Mark! New sub here, and I love your channel, thank you so much!! Any update on the eggs?

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

[@denchtigerpsn6086]

Do you have a heater in with these puffers, if so what temperature do you have it set too?

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Yes . It's set to 26 degrees Celsius. 😀👍
