We've been checking back in to the local pet store where we bought Opie, our tetraodon Abei, to see if they got another in. Opie's been doing great, his heater burn healed completely on its own and we finally got our tank cycled and at the equilibrium point. Yesterday we had the day off and stopped into the pet store, low and behold there was another Abei! We scooped her up quick and brought her home! They've been getting along great so far, thankfully. We were really nervous at first and sat there staring at the tank for an hour to make sure nothing bad happened. Now they swim around together and seem to really enjoy each others company. Here's a vid of them.

Re: Added a second puffer
keep an eye on them for a while... I had two in a heavily decorated 75 and they were great for about a week, then they each had bites all over and had to be seperated.

Re: Added a second puffer
Puffers usually don't play well with others.
