Theres a photo of my lovely girl, Gabriella, in an earlier thread...
I just wanted to say how wonderful it is owning a Puffer fish again after a few years......
I had a congo many years ago, and a leirus before that.
Gabriella is truly a character, comes to say hello, does silly things like 'spacking out' and then sits in her cave.... Ive been feeding her woodlice and earthworms from the garden..... She seems to be really blossoming, Ive realised the trick is not to feed her too much or she just sits on the sand for hours trying to digest her food...
I hope you lot are enjoying yourselves as much as I am.... Owning a Puffer is genuinely not like owning any other kind of Fish....

Re: Abei Puffer
You certainly have a lovely puffer. Which shop did you get her from? Most shops round my way have little choice on puffers would be good to check some more out in the flesh.
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly
