She's definitely adorable.

I put in a shrimp leg this morning, it's tiny and I wasn't sure if there was any meat but figured that her picking at the shell would be fine if she was interested. Well, she found enough meat on it to give her belly a little bulge. I'll try her with a piece of just shrimp in a half hour or so. Hopefully that's interesting too :)

ETA: She's been here about 16 hours and so far she's eaten 2 crab and lobster bites, tried the NLS, and a shrimp leg. I just tried giving her some pieces of shrimp meat and not only did she eat both pieces she ate one of the pieces off the tongs! She then started biting the tongs... :lol: She has a small belly now, very lumpy but lightly rounded. Pretty sure she has IPs but they don't seem too bad. I'll start treating soon, I just want her to settle in for a couple days first.

Her bites are so different than those that come from the irrubescos. They really give a good hard bite and hers were so tiny I could barely feel them.
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.

My Puffers: I am my own puffer. I do not possess a "name" in any sense a person would find comprehensible. My identity to another of my kind is not even individual as you understand it; in the semiotics of puffer fish interaction, indices are the only connection between the signifier and the signified - how does a consciousness working as described have a place for a name? I am identified by my bulk, territory, hormone releases (including for breeding), as well as my current body language.
Location (country): I prefer not to be too specific on such a detail. A puffer must be careful.
My kind are well known to be exported from the tropics of Asia to locations across the globe.
Location: Consider - I may be in your very aquarium right now!

You have it. It's a very contagious, expensive, and time consuming disease.

Multiple Tank Syndrome.

LOL It's not a bad thing for me; I love having MTS... However, not everyone in my household is totally 'infected'... yet... To get my 120gal, I had to trade off a 10g... A little compromise, and I think I gained 110gallons of fun! Now though, I think the MTS has started to be a bit catching - the boyfriend may have mentioned something about a cichilid tank.............
