Maybe he's a "doubletail halfmoon" (if that is such a thing...Petco thought so, ahaha, so that's what I call Dali). what a pretty blue-green boy!
Are you going to name him?

what's your source for the squid and clams? are they frozen or...? i'm not really sure how much of a difference it would make, but the more knowledgeable members might know. my heart goes out to you, our porc puff had a similar stint like this and didn't make it. pretty sure it was lockjaw, but if y...

Fantastic!

This stuff is in my DP tank too! Maddening! No matter how much I keep the lights off/clean/waterchange it always returns. It's trying to take over my marimo balls

Are you using test strips or liquid kits? sometimes the strips can give inaccurate readings -since you said white for ammonia and pink for nitrate. hope your puff makes a full recovery :( good luck i'd have to wonder what dropsy even looks like on a puffer- all of the examples i've ever seen are of ...

As for her being scared- give her some time. Eventually she'll come to associate your face/presence with food and swim over. Or at least that's been my experience. Now I have a little beggar on my hands every time I approach the tank :lol: https://31.media.tumblr.com/e7a86de683f88f60fa80501d2a14d6a1...

Made a trip up to the not-so-local fish store I got Feather from to spend my customer rewards, pick up some supplies, ect. They've started expanding their puffer selection lately and improving their setups (I was so happy to see they finally separated the GSPs and the F8s). This little guy caught my...

Really????? I never realized. Interesting!

...what kind of experiment did you do to yourself that it hurt, bertie, lol?

Thanks dude I love 'em all, though I can't say I'm as fond of plakats.

If you've already had yellow, I'll change my mind and say go for the green then. both are very pretty!

Sure thing Arny New boy: http://i58.tinypic.com/p3xq0.jpg Poor thing needs a name. Can't seem to find anything that suits him or my desire for artsy names. I wasn't planning on picking up a fish that particular day, but you know how it is. Two of my long-time betta pals had passed away unexpectedly ...

Never before has a puffer staring at his own reflection and just doing his thing built so much suspense, ahahah.

What a gorgeous beast he is~! Thanks for sharing!

Go for the gold! OoO Yellow is so rare~

Though I may be biased, I just picked up a new crowntail boy with yellow finnage last Saturday ;D

Apparently we're getting another snowstorm tonight. Eugh (I'm hoping school isn't cancelled, we're so behind in the curriculum.)

Feather is ready for it though.

That is by far one of the coolest fish I've ever seen.
Love the name!! He does indeed look like an Ent
