Takifugu Madness!

Post by julianchan »

OK, so I posted pics.....I really want to get one now, but I am calming myself down cuz, I cant get a new tank yet, I have other things to buy first...but its coming..sometime soon, but its going to happen......but in the meanwhile they got MORE takifugu at my LFS, with one that I nearly bought today, with unusual markings. Here is the video of them.....took it on my cellphone, so it kinda..well, sucks....

I've seen those little guys in a lot of my local pet stores.

I wish I could come across SAPs or maybe even fahakas/mbus.

Saw a tiny little fahaka at an LFS in Hollywood a few months ago....they might get more in than other ones, if there is more demand there....

I hope you are able to get a Takifugu or a fahaka! I have never seen them in the pet stores over here.

By the way, I just noticed your dwarf puffers names are from Zoolander, right? That movie was hilarious.

Thanks...ha, you are right, all from Zoolander. My avatar picture is Matilda when she was still a baby...she is all grown up and fat now.....Derek just died recently...from what looked like a tumor of sorts.....didn't really want to talk about it, but....oh well, it happens, I guess

One of my GSPs can do the blue steel look when he wants food. :lol:

Sorry, to hear about Derek, though. :(

I just checked out your blog. Hahaha! At first, I couldn't understand that you were writing in a first person narrative from Lord Vator's point of view! I didn't know why you needed your bosses permission to do private things?! I am a bit slow that way...

But, it was very interesting. Thanks for the good read!

I never realized that blog was there. :mcfly:
It is quite hilarious. If Elevator wants a job working on the clownfish forum he is more than welcome to. :D

Haha...thanks guys. I have been bad at letting Lord Vator write lately, I've been working hard and needed my computer with me....but I suspect there will be some updates coming up soon. There is only so much a little fish can write when he is in a little 20 gallon tank....but I suspect he will be talking about his upgraded tank soon.....shhh...I have not told him yet...its supposed to be a surprise.....

55 or 60 sounds good. I hope to someday get a 120, but I have no more room in my house.
