Hey all,

I have had a few PPL ask for some more pics of Samson, I haven't been able to cause of the sun Situation I have, So I took a few tonight, and a small vid as well. I also had a very nice user ask me if I would draw a more realisic puffer, So I thought you all would like to see it as well?. He has gotten so big in such a short time, he did have a grow spurt after I put him in the new 180 :)

Enjoy all

Thanks

He's like a little underwater hummingbird... that swallowed a zeppelin.

LOL! yes I would say he did :) He floats around begging for food, I don't know how PPL go up to 3 days of not feeding
their larger puffers, I can barly go a day without breaking down, he is so cute floating in the corner, eyeing me :)

Soon as I come into the room, he will swim out from where ever he was and start pacing the glass, creating a HUGE wake.

Haha! I was just reading your other thread about Samson Don, really glad you are able to keep him!

My baby fahaka is named Nala :) She has a weird bump on one of her gills, but it doesn't seem to affect her at all, and my bf wanted to exchange her, but I said no because I had already fallen in love with her, and he ended up falling in love with her too. :) lol

Hey All.

Well after visiting 3 pet stores here in london, I did pickup a smaller tank I got a 50 gal long, it was a good price, I also bought a bunch of new plants and some carbon for my Ehiem Filter. he is very happy in this tank, I have made a very complex inviro for him, he is exploring it very happly. :)
This should do for now till we move, then i will get him a nice 120 setup, With the Ehiem its a 3X Filteration so it should be nice and clean. I took gravel, plants and the Ehiem for a quick cycle, i will do a WC in a few days. I really must admit, the 180 Gal was such a monster tank, it was scary having it in my tiny living room, i will make sure we get a place with a nice finished basement for his new 120 :) Anyways.. enough gab, here is his brand new tank.

EDIT: I will be going out tomorrow and getting some background paper, the hoses and wires are ugly :P

Thanks everyone :)

Wait, when are you moving again? Won't that tank become too small in a very short period of time?
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
