Hello Everyone,
I wanted to introduce myself, I have been lurking on the forums for a while just never posted.
I have 2 puffer tanks:
Tank 1: 20 gallon planted tank with 3 dwarf puffers (2 female 1 male) tank has been up and running for nearly 2 years now.
Tank 2: 25 gallon lightly planted brackish tank. Tank has only been up and running for 2 months. Started cycling it as fresh water with established media and increased the specific gravity by about .001 every week now sitting at 1.004. There have been 3 mollies used during the tail end of the cycling process and just added a juvi figure 8 puffer(smaller than my largest dwarf puffers around 1”) Saturday. I plan on adding 3-4 bumblebee gobies and getting rid of the mollies as well.
My other tanks:
3 Blue Tongue Skinks (each in their own tank) unknown sex but 2 are 5 years old one is 8.
20 gallon extra tall (2 10 gallons stacked with bottom glass removed on one) vivarium with live plants, a running stream at the bottom and a breeding pair of gray tree frogs
10 gallon rams horn snail and cherry shrimp planted tank (puffer food)
I will take some pics of the tanks tonight and post so that everyone can see them.
Due to family matters the Blue Tongues are also up for adoption, if anyone is interested and in the Baltimore area let me know. They are very tame, will eat out of your hand but haven’t been taken out of their tanks much in the past 3 years so not as used to being handled as they were when they were younger.

Re: My Introduction
Welcome to the forum
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Re: My Introduction
Sorry I haven't gotten any pictures up. Because of the crazy storm that hit us Friday I have been without power and the power company is saying it most likely won't be back up until next week. My time at home has been focussed on waterchanges, brackish mixing and generally trying to keep all of my animals and girlfriend happy.
The Mollies have been taken out in order to keep the bio load at minimum in the brackish tank since it is only lightly planted and in the dark 24x7 during the power outage.

Sounds like you've been very busy! 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.
