Hello everyone,

I've logged on here at first, a little reading.
I care for in my time two Taifugu oblongus approximately 1000 liters aquarium.
The two are now about 30cm tall. But look at the images ;-) :lol: or visit my cams.
A picture speaks more than 1000 words.

Welcome! Nice to have you.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi

You are so right – photos are so much more effective and convincing when trying to explain something especially when it comes to our pets!! They really look awesome and you must be real proud of them!! How long have you had them and could you tell us something about how you take care of them?

Hi,

I've already large, taken over by someone. He had even in brackish water. Have the puffers since January 2011. Here they were placed in seawater. They are easy to care.They get a every day three crab legs or 3 to 5 shells. One day a week nothing. They are very eager for food. One must be careful with your fingers. :lol: They swim 90 percent of the day. One likes sleeping in the coral. Now and then they get angry. Then they have a few bite marks. These are not fatally.

A little report and photos are also here: http://www.furzmulde.de/Jan/960L/Kugelfische.html

This picture i like send to your "Puffer of the Month "... Too bad I do not have enough posts :(

Are these the puffers Martin once owned?

They do look great by the way.

Hi "Corvus",

yes they are! Hey, Martin is well known like a colorful spotted dog! :lol:
Martin could not offer them large saltwater aqurium. Then I took them. I love puffers!
The beginning was not easy, but now everything is almost perfect! :D

Yes, Martin and I wrote an article about a Chelonodon sp. from India.
You may know me as the author of the German booklet "Kugelfische im Meerwasseraquarium" ("puffers in the marine aquarium").
