Patch the Figure 8 Puffer

Post by Tim »

So, my wife dubbed him Patch and since I can't decide on a name myself this will be his name henceforth. I tried making some photo's today and some close ups turned out pretty good. Though I apologize for the dusty glass and algae that might show :lol:.

Patch has been fun so far, though I was worried for a while because he stopped eating blood worms, luckily the ramhorns are now big enough and he's been enjoying those quite extensively.

Anyway here are some closups.

I am also happy to report that his fins have almost fully recovered.

Nice shots. I love their coloration
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Very nice :)
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
