Hi, well in line with puffs being contrary little beasties, mine have decided that they LIKE having their picture taken!!!

Last night I thought I'd try and get a few shots of them so I sat in front of their tank where I normally do and brought my camera up and expected to be there for a while... the three of them came zipping over to see what I was up to! I almost dropped my camera! Maybe they just wanted to show off their fat bellies after having a meal of brine shrimp but they were happy, fat, posing puffs :-D

They love chasing the brine shrimp around the tank… it’s very entertaining. Although I still love how they look like they’re slurping up a spaghetti strand when they’re eating blood worms. I keep trying to get a picture of that but they don't like their picture being taken while eating LOL

PPG - I think it was more their willingness to 'pose' so I could take LOTS of pictures to get those ones rather than any photography skills I have but thank you :redface:

Yeah, they are small... very different to George the Abei but they actually seem friendlier and are soooo cute when they're chasing down their food! They were so funny when I first put a feeding cone in there... slooooooowly working their way across the tank and constantly flinching and darting back a bit even though it didn't move... then they were afraid of the bloodworms for a while but then they realised it releases food and now they take turns periodically checking it out to see if any food has miraculously appeared (which it hasn't cos I can't get live bloodworm right now so they're making due with brine shrimp).
