kukah, my fahaka gets them sometimes. they come and go on him

Same with samson, he can get very dark stripes when he is stressed, but can go very light when he is happy :) the colours change as well, his stripes can be light brown to almost purple.. :)

Great pictures!
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.

Hey All,

Well i hope samson is doing well with his new owner, I had a small cry when they left :( I am gonna miss him alot. But he
is gonna call a nice big 125 Gal tank a new home, so i am happy. I know I made the right decision, I am in no shape right now to care for him, just way to much stress right now. I would like to thank everyone for all the help, advice and such over the months.

I will pass by once in awhile to say hi, who knows maybe someday I will get another puffer, but for now I need to focus on my core family :)

Thanks again,

DOn
