helmut, abei puffer

Post by davew »

here is a picture of my abei puffer that i got from suzanne (pufferpuggirl) , it was a bit of a long drive to get him but was well worth it, he is quite a character and is very active.

He looks fantastic Dave! We have actually missed him as he was such a character when we'd approach the tank, but we're really happy that he went with someone that obviously takes very good care of him, and that's what's most important.
Good to see Helmut looking so happy! :D

Believe it or not, I traded a young Fahaka for that Abei, being told that the guy had a Fang's puffer he was going to trade me. After the trade, I knew immediately that the puffer I had gotten was not a Fang's, but the person who traded with me still to this day says I got a Fang's puffer. I think all of you will agree that is certainly NOT a Fang's! (No offense to the person whom I traded with either, who happens to be a member of TPF).
