Nice puff. Size of pic makes her look bigger than 12". I have a hard time getting a good pic too.
Kind regards,

Thanks, guys! I appreciate it.

Yes, good pictures of puffers are very hard to get, I'm discovering. If they know I'm there, they're dancing against the glass in the hopes of food!! Doesn't make it easy... :/

I found a macro setting on my point and shoot...who knew my camera could do this?! I was sneaking up on Suki's tank from the side, where I normally play hide-and-seek with her (I'll duck my head down, she'll swim up looking for me. I move my head behind the wood/plant grouping here, and she'll swim around the corner to find me. And so on. Silly, maybe- but we have fun.) And she sees me, coming up with the camera in front of my face and decided this was a new version of the game...so she comes over to "find" me! So cute...

I might enter in Photo of the Month, after re-sizing of course...do you guys think it's good enough? Maybe 1 or 3?

I used to have a cichlid that would play hide and seek. Suki is adorable, but I'd watch out - the way she was looking at your finger it looked like she was ready to eat it!

Oh, don't I know it...! She's always very curious when I am water changing, or rearranging anything. She has NO fear of my hands, or nets, or the gravel vac- in fact, she seems to be overly curious about out my fingers....I keep telling her they don't taste good, but she's not buying it. I'm definitely not taking any chances!! lol
