Those patocas were the fishes I had had pics of in my presentation, and didn't know that the owners were there to listen to me. :shock:

Yes I can probably do that, however I have no means of videotaping anything atm. You guys think a webcam could get good enough quality video... or should I just put the $$ toward a camcorder ? Either way I need some manner of getting video. I have too many puffers and it would be a shame to get no video of them all.

i noticed that there wasnt too much info on these guys

sg: can survive from 1.005 - Full marine
ph: 7.8 - 8.2

extremely aggressive even when young
mine has killed every single living thing that has passed through my tank
within 10-15 seconds of it being there

found mainly in northern territory around to south east qld in australia

likes any shell fish seems to go absolutely crazy for squid
if i have a peice on a scure when he's attacking it i could pull it out of the tank with the puffer still attached

got some photos and videos of my ziggy i can upload later
got a couple of burrowing ones today (first time i seen him burrow so i quickly snapped a few)
your more than welcome to use them in the pufferpedia aswell
