Hi all, new to the forum.

I've got 2 dwarf puffers and I'm getting a pair of Figure 8 puffers this coming week!
I'm in love with them.

Why do you ask if I'm not keeping them together correctly? :)
Of course I'm keeping them properly.

Yes, I'll get some pics when I finish work tonight!

Welcome :)
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.

Let me reword that: You're not going to keep them together in the same tank, correct?

Sorry guys, haven't been on the website in a while.
No, I won't be keeping them together as I realise that Fig8's require slightly brackish water, higher PH etc.
I got two lovely specimens of Figure 8's this afternoon, and I'm just wondering how to go about uploading any pictures I get of them?
