i named my new fahaka puffer mac, because he's cute like the alien in that movie and also cause i know he's gonna get big!!
i'll post some pics if i can catch him still out in the open, not dug into his favourite hiding place in the sand or peeking from behind his plants!!

OK the fish names are not so original...

2 Baby GSP's named Bud and Puff.
1 Ghost shirmp named Gumbo who we put in the tank a few days before the GSP's who swims right along with the GSP's. They have been coexisting together now going on 3 weeks.

So, what have you named your puffers?

yunachin suggested me to name my F8 with the same name of yours - HOOVER. The snails came to an end!!! :D :D :D

Myaj wrote:"little girl" for the smallest of the dwarves, and the other two dwarves are "big girl" and "little man". I guess that's the closest I come to names for them hehehe.

They need a tank almost as big as mbus, they'd probablly make good tank mates though.

My GSP is named Bumble Bee. Or B.B. for short. Mainly because of the way s/he hovers like a bee.

Fahaka Puffer named Cleo. Because they are from the Nile and i couldn't name her King Tut after my first Fahaka, he died young and blamed it on the name.
Target Puffer named Little Emo because he just sits there all day and looks depressed and only does stuff at night
Green Spotted Puffer named Shy Guy because if you point at him he will go hide, he doesn't like to be stared at.
Another GSP named Captian Black Belly, he just almost always as a black belly. lol
