Okay, well here's a couple photos of my new little suvattii. I took 6 pictures of the mudskipper and none came out -- it's because it's in a difficult place to get into and my camera doesn't help as I'm not sure where the subject of the photos is, so it's a bit of a guessing game. So I will have to work on getting some of him. I haven't tried to get any of the new cutcutia yet, but now that I've just bought another new puffer tonight, I will have to try to get photos of him too, so I will get some of the cutcutia at the same time.

Anyway, here goes!

This is my new guy or girl (who knows?) suvattii

I keep watching him because, even though I have him in with my dwarf mudskippers, he's just so frail compared to them and I'm afraid something will happen to him. If I can fatten him up, he should be okay. I will try to get a photo of him, but it's not easy, mainly because of 2 things, where I have the tank isn't easy access to it, and due to the high temperature they like the water, there's condensation on the glass all the time -- but I will see what I can do. I think mudskippers are so darn cute, and I still have a hard time accepting that they are a fish, because they seem more like an amphibian.

Unless something comes up, I will work on photos tomorrow and see what I can do. :D
I would love to see a pic if you can manage! :D

I will continue to try and get better photos of the new mudskipper. I did try yesterday, but when I downloaded what I'd taken (6 photos), they were all blurry and you could not see what it was. Like I said previously, it's a difficult tank to get photos of.

In regards to the new young suvattii, no I've not named him/her. Thing is, I know most everyone on this forum names their puffers, but with having so many it would be difficult for me to remember them all, I'd have to have them listed on the tanks themselves, and even then, I could not tell some puffers from their puffer tankmates. So I really only have names for a few, like my MBU is BeeBoo, my Abei is Hymie, my Baileyi is Ian, and my Ceylons are Pudgie and Yorkie. But otherwise I've not named anyone, and only because I think it would be too difficult for me to remember who they all are.

I do like the way a suvattii looks, but it's funny because when I got my first 2 suvattii, I thought they were sort of ugly, but they definitely grew on me, as I think they are very cute now and am very fond of them. :D
