Did you pick up some aquarium salt and flake food while you where there.

Yay puffer dreams!
i dream about my puffer all the time.

one time i dreamt he was a bee, and he was hovering like 1.5 feet away from my head, and then he went too far and i felt uncomfy like he was going to get away but he came back :)
and i also had a dream that i had a tank full of puffers, and i found my current puffer dead and dried out, and i put him in the tank with all the other puffs and he came back to life an i was worried that the other ones would attack him...

My friend said she once had a dream that my puffer puffed and filled up the whole tank !

I just use old bath water for WCs. I'm just tryin' to save a buck or two, ya' know.


Has anyone else seen this at the store. The first time I saw it I was all alone at a store and I seriously laughed out loud. And it's like 4 bucks for a little bottle.
