Hello folks!
My name is Alexander and I live in northern Sweden in a town called Luleå. I have the past eight years had mostly cichlids of different kinds and now sits on the Board of the Nordic Cichlid Soceity. Puffers is something I have never tried, until six months ago when I came across a small Tetraodon lineatus of 4 cm. Today he is around 17 cm and the fish is posing on my good friend Johanski's images here on the forum.
I also have a saltwater aquarium with a bunch of emperors and surgeon fish.
Hoping to get share many experiences with you all and hopefully there will more pictures of my single puffer as he grows. It seems to be a great knowledge here.
Another Swede!

He he, to make you more confused I can say that my last name is Ylipää. That's not even close to a Swedish name

Re: Another Swede!
Hey welcome to the forum! Anyone from the same country as 'Wallander' can't be all bad!

Re: Another Swede!
I'm just sad that Puffers are not popular in a Polish community 
PS: Great Fahaka, did you keep it in a big tank as soon as you got it or did you upgrade as it grow ?

Re: Another Swede!
"Wallander" is great, but not as great as "Beck"
I have kept it in the same tank since i bought it. A 250 liter, but will have to upgrade sooner or later

Re: Another Swede!
Sorry for the wrong post at the beginning. He's not 17 INCHES. 17 centimetres is the correct size.

It's always nice to see other Scandinavians here. Vinker fra Norskesiden av grensa.
I've always stayed away from films or TV-series with Beck, and that's because the books are so good. I want to keep the books as a good memory.Alexander wrote:"Wallander" is great, but not as great as "Beck"

Re: Another Swede!
Well I don't know if we will get access to 'Beck', but I've loved Wallander and if that's any indication of what's to come, I will be most anxious to see Beck.
