Got the new puffer in his tank last night..obviously there was a Kuhli loach that was a stowaway inside the cave that I missed. Woke up this morning and it was laying on the sand headless and tailess
poor guy didn't stand a chance. There is also a yo-yo loach that I can't catch to save my life. He and the puffer swim together and the puff doesn't mess with him...I'm sure this won't last long...he's probably on the menu as well. Since the puffer is a murderer we named him Manson.
Reason I refer to him as "the puffer" is because we're not sure what type he is. He was marked as a "black river puffer"....Palembang. I posted some pics last night and another forum member directed me to a thread where another member thought he had a Palembang and it turned out to be a Turgidus. Well, I think Manson is a Turgidus as well. I will try to get better pics up so he can be id'd properly. Any thoughts appreciated.

Fahakas are like dogs! They come up to you and say hi! Or they're just looking for food!

Unfortunately I was never able to catch him and Manson got hold of him one night
