He's a Congo Puffer, and dead handsome to boot. How do I put a photo up, please?

Tatertot is beautiful. I think they're gorgeous, quirky fish, totally in love with them :D

You got it! Check our Pufferpedia. He will prefer a cave & lots of plants, over burrowing in the sand.

Thank you, that I will do. I'm so glad I posted a pic of him, and even more glad I found Puffer Forum. Poor old Spud, he's misnamed now :D

I'm about to change the filter sponge in the Bio Orb, I thought it would be a good idea to keep it and shove it in his tank to give the bacteria levels a boost? Is that a good idea? I can hold off the change until I get his tank (Wednesday, hopefully); will just do an extra wc on the Barbs.
