Re: OMG My Paupan!! Finally!!!
congrats! He looks very cuuute. I also like the GSP in the background, his face is like "I want no part of this!"

That's "Little". He doesn't like the flash but has already accepted the Paupan.

Re: OMG My Paupan!! Finally!!!
Oh no. I am sorry. 
I stay in Sumter sometimes and sometimes at Myrtle Beach. I was at MB this weekend and that is where I found him at one of the LFS' I go to.
I did go out on the pier today and it was COLD!! I didn't see a single fish...just overeager fishermen.

Re: OMG My Solandri!! Finally!!!
Thank you. I have been looking for a Toby like this for a very long time.
The most common that come through here are Valentini.
Great info too!! A Solandri is good enough for me.

Re: OMG My Papuan!! Finally!!!
No problem.
C. papua have several lines from behind the eyes along the back.
Name aside, this looks like a great puffer. How big is he, the ones I saw were tiny, about 2 inches.

Re: OMG My Solandri!! Finally!!!
Yes, I read that article twice. It is amazing that the differentiation between the two are only just some lines/spots. Good to know I can identify them in the future.
He is a beefy fellow as well, about 5.5 inches. Already has a nice appetite, which makes me confident I will have a friend for a long while.

I got rid of two large tanks already that we spent time with the least. I am working on a rack system for my clownfish pairs. I have 2 new pairs coming in this week/early next week.
