LOL thanks Stormy!!
:D

I have to Add: CP I had seen you asked for the puffer first and I have seen you in action when it comes to caring for fish. You take a lot of resposibility when it comes to caring for our tropical friends. You are very dedicated. Not that the rest of you are not, you all are. There is only one home needed to care for this big fella. I'll stay out of this now and may he get a good home!

I thought that was the game all along? I believe she's waiting for a couple more guesses too.

I don't know. She said one thing and then changed it to something else. I guess it does make a little more sense to give it to someone who can accomidate for it, but she should still keep her word and not lead us on.

All in all we need to ensure that this fish will have a cycled tank to go into immediately upon arrival. The best interest is for the puffer.

well i am setting mine up tonight and will add two filters from old tanks and some driftwood from and old tank so i believe it should cycle by the time she would be ready to ship it, if not i do have a great fish store that i would trust to sell good bio-spira but im sure the tank would cycle in that time its only 29 gallons and i have two 200gph filters running.

I have already posted my plan. In the past, I have had that almost insta-cycle a tank.

Good point, I like this method a lot better than picking a random number.
