Re: POTM April 2012 - vote now!
Sorry! Last pic is mine Sent it in a bit of a hurry and totally forgot to add a description.
That's "Little Sunshine" as he's affectionatly known! His name's actually Aleister. I was trying to bribe him with bloodworms to pose for pics, and I only got a couple before he got wise to me and went and hid at the back of the tank!!
He's a fig 8 puffer Must be coming up for a year old now if I remember rightly. He's all of about 1 1/2 - 2" nose to tail. Easter island man there is his only tankmate. I feel he'd murder anything else instantly! Once fed him a locust...not pretty. Never again. Defo seen the killer streak he's got!!
