Hello!

Post by Belinda »

Hello!
I am very glad that a friend told me about this site. and very glad to see an old friend and mentor here as well.
I would like to introduce myself to you all.

I have been keeping fish for a few years now and I love it. I keep mostly freshwater species and currently run between 20 -25 tanks ranging in size from 90 gallons to 10 gallons.
They range from various community and species only tanks, to what I think of as support tanks; tanks for hatch out, grow out, and live foods.
I have been keeping a brackish tank with Bumble Bee Gobies for a year now and have been doing very well with them.

I recently acquired one Figure 8 puffer and am very happy to have found this site to learn how to care for this fish properly.
It came to me in fresh water and it is approximately 2" in size now. I will be transitioning it to brackish conditions over the next little while.
I am look forward to learning and caring (and sharing what I have learned) for this little charmer as I know that I now have a little friend for probably the next 15 years.

Belinda :D

L.O.L. Yes' I have a mild case of M.T.S...
It all started with a desire to do more for the fish I had ..and a liking of what some call oddball species.
I have been enjoying reading and researching on the site..
I am sure I will be asking a few questions soon. :D

Welcome :) F8s are wonderful puffers!
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.
