My BF named my lorteti Damien- cuz he's evil and has red eyes. I usually just call him puffman though.

My Figure Eight is named Punk. My GSP is named Monk. Punk & Monk! Punk is the faster one, Monk is on the slower side but it makes him more loveable.
PUFFER RULES
Do not take your Puffer out of water (you can kill them)

Change water immediately if there is high Ammonia/Nitrite/Nitrate
Monitor water levels (PH, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, SG,etc.)

Soak dry food with tank water/vitamin water
When buying a Puffer look for one with a fat belly

My surviving GSP is called Wanda. Yes, like the name of the movie. Mostly I call her "my cyootest widdow fishykins" though.

My pair of Ceylons are Mike and Ike.

My GS puffers are named Shuo (originally dubbed that name because it means bravery, honour, and the like) turns out though he is one of the most gentle, and timid fish I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Ha ha ha. Then I got my second GS puffer and I named him Loki after the trickster God. He's small but he's much more playful and curious then Shuo:)

well, we have 2 GSPs, a skinny one and one that is a lil chubbier. they got their names when i put in pieces of pvc in the tank for temp hidy holes. i was washing my hands after and turned around laughing cause of the plumbing (the sink) i was using and that there was some plumbing parts in the tank. and who is the most famous plumbers? thats right, mario and luigi from nintendo. and so they were named

I named my GSP Dexter for a couple reasons. First reason, the cartoon on cartoon network....Dexter the boy genius. Puffers are highly intelligent! And secondly, the tv show, where Dexter is a serial killer. My puffer is definitely a serial killer. :D
29 Gal- GSP named Dexter
10 Gal- glofish, pond snails
5 1/2 Gal- african dwarf frog, pond snails
4 Gal Biorb- betta named Beavis
20 Gal- guppies, pond snails

125 Gal- semi-aggressive community

2 GSP's - Puffo (named after the PUffer FOrum)--he was rescued from a game center. Mini--he was rescued from an overcrowded tank where he was the 1/3 of the size, weak, skinny. He was just a head and a tail.

2 F8's- Nana (it means 7) and Hachi (it means 8 )--these were also rescued from a overcrowded tank where they were put in with GSP's twice their size. I also have a baby black molly that lives with them--her name is Ku (it means 9).
