Woohoo! Love this present! :)

Post by pinkfloydpuffer »

For Christmas I got Aqualog's the Puffers of Fresh and Brackish Waters by Klaus Ebert. And wow I just love it! Such a great book, with so many pictures... I do have to say it was shorter than I expected though, it's only about 100 pages. But still has great info and wonderful pics. Anyone else have this book?

And, I also got a big stuffed puffer that vibrates to be a massager, and a small squishy puffer that my cousin gave me so that I can carry it around at all times and give it a squeeze when I miss my puffy babies at home (she's such a sweetheart) :)

Just sort of scoot him out of the bag. Dont' expose him to air, and don't net him. Try to get him into the tank with as little water from the bag getting into the tank with him.

Those are awesome gifts, I notice a puffer theme :D! I always love it when friends and family clue into one's "obsession" and buy only themed gifts, it's so thoughtful.
