Salute from Sweden

Post by Tonke »

Hi there!

Im a puffer lover that lives in the little cold kingdom of Sweden, and im been a bad boy stalking this forum for a long time before i decided to become a member :D .
This community seems to be full of nice and oddlish people like myself... and i like it =)

Im not exactly new to puffers... i had Fahaka in the past that died away from me a couple of years ago and left a little hole in the heart for a long time, but now im once again a proud owner of a baby fahaka called "Bosse Blobb" Aka Belseblobb :D

The little Blobb is now residing in a 143g tank (540 litres) with some immortal dodging ninja shrimps and ancistrus algea eaters.
At the side i have a small 32g snail tank. Im having a hard time making the little buggers to breed... but to limited success, they are not even doing it with some soft lights on and Barry white singing in the backround... i call them career snails ;)

Cheers/ Tonke
