New puffers (PICS!)

Post by pinkfloydpuffer »

I got two more DPs last night. They are sooooo cute! I'm sure I got a male, and almost as sure that the other is female. So that brings me to 1 male, 2 female. :) They'll get the 10g all to themselves after these guys finish QT. I'm really hoping to get lucky and have them breed for me. That would be so cool. But I guess we'll see if it ever happens...
I haven't named them yet. They're so cute, following each other around. :D

Ok, so I changed my mind. Removed all fish but the DPs from the 10g and let them QT all together in their main tank. The other fish moved to another tank. The QT tank was having issues with the heater, so I figured it'd be better to put them in the main tank rather then leave them in QT where they'll get ich from the low temps. So, now here's pics of them in the big tank :D Sorry that my photography is so awful....

Thanks :)
I think I'm gonna get a few taller plants for the back, and maybe even some real driftwood if I get around to it. But overall I'm pretty happy with it. The puffs seem to be having fun too. :D
Oh, and the new girl now has a name: Josephine. The boy is still unnamed though.

The boy has a name now! It's Mayo. Pronounced MY-OH. Not mayonnaise :P
If anyone knows where I got the names Ambellina, Josephine, and Mayo from then they get a "prise" lol ;)
