Welcome, great looking Fahaka.

Damn it, Is that Sons of Anarchy Season 3 - Who knows when that will come over here. Burn Notice, just got Season 3 NCIS Season 8 starts in a few weeks a couple of days after you get it. NCIS LA is there a season 2 out? Waiting for True Blood Season 3 - who knows when. Dexter Season 4 only just star...

You can feed live food if you wish a Quarantine process before feeding is preferred just in case they have something that could harm your puffer, theres articles in the live on feeding you should check it out. Personally I only use frozen foods.

Jus thats a good loking fish, I do think it does look more GSP than anything else but it a great looking specimen, it looks fairly big, what size is it up to.

Great choice and a good price.

Sorry to hear that.

I thought you'd completely disappeared John.

Here's hoping, have you noticed any white stringy poo or anything unusual at all after treating with Kusuri. I would probably re-treat with Kusuri in 7 days again and another epsom salt treatment as well after the next water change.
