Cool!
I never have seen any of my puffers do it yet. Well, some of them has been in my house for a very short time, so they haven't had much time to practice. But still, 8 puffers and I've never seen anyone puff!
Wow, I would like to see a mbu puff! How big is Clooney now, Manutius?

I envy you that one, that's for sure.
But I don't envy all the space that fish needs.
Mmmm...wish I had room for mbu and fahaka. I wish, I wish, I wish... They are so beautiful! And it seems to me, the larger the puffer is, the more personality it has, so a mbu must have much personality!

They are under the skin and special muscles pull them erect I think. I asked this question about the dimples on my Mbu, no one seemed to know what they were but that was my suspicion toostevenlk wrote:where do the little prickly spikes come from? do they just have them under the folds in their skin. i have seen the under belly of mine when he swims against the glass, and it has pores like dimple-holes.

Manutius, if I ever get over to England again, you will find me on your doorstep, wanting to see Clooney I have never seen a mbu, except in pictures, but they look gorgeous! But there is someone I know here where I live, that is talking about getting one. As I have said many times: I wish I had room for one!
Actually I haven't seen much puffers except the ones I have bought. The only puffers that I've seen, that didn't follow me home, is suvatti and dwarf, but I wish for the suvatti, though If he continues to totally hide himself in sand, maybe no other buyers see him, and he still will be for sale in May, when I can afford to buy him Ooooh! I want him!
And I've never seen a marine puffer! (If I don't count the GSP).
PS: Hufflepuff tried to bite me through the glass several times again today. He really is an aggressive puffer! I love them that way

That could be an idea, now that it's only a month left. At least I will take a phone there on Monday. Or maybe already tomorrow. Then I can get the exact price. Last time I got the "I think it's about 1000 kroner" (Norwegian currency). He was a beauty Huge and beautiful
Only a pity that Eduardo (the man that has been there both the time I've bought my puffers there) is gone on a trip to his homeland. He is so helpful and nice. And has a good relationship to the puffers in the shop. When I bought Hufflepuff he said to me: "Treat him well. He is my "boy" you know" If he sees the film I have of Hufflepuff eating his shrimp, he would be proud

HE IS MIIIIIIINE! Sorry for shouting, but they will keep him for me until the first week of May (when I will have the money). So I got him!
He was even cheaper than I was first told
And BTW, they've also got several F8... That's one more puffer I have wanted. But I don't have room for any more now...I think...

Yes, he is minetaly wrote:You got the suvatti?!
The only problem is that they also have F8 there now... Wish I had the room. I'm already trying to find place for them too. That's the bad part when you get 9 tanks at the same time. You suddenly have room for more fish...
The suvatti will be my 9th puffer! And my 7th puffer species. I am absolutely crazy!
