Here's a little video I did of him, he's checking out the monitor screen.

You might want to mute it I had the snooker on, 56K forget about this one.

He's definately a curious buggar Hilly! I bet he does great once he has a chance to fill out and relax. If he wasn't feeling so good he wouldn't be out moving like that.

His eyes don't have that ceylon irridescence though.. know what I mean, the blue/green haze that makes ceylon eyes so gorgeous?

Looks good! Hope the sg change didn't disturb the filter too much.

Maybe, a picture of his nostrils could help with the identification. But maybe difficult to take.

Tonight I did a little water change and fed him a Mussel. He will take food from my hand, up at the top, begging, however I lost my nerve. I released as he took the first bite.

I think that is wise, Clooney feeds like that from my hand and he will come out of the water if he is very hungry. Definately not the time to get distracted by the TV or the wife asking if you want a cup of tea :P Especially considering the number of airbourne biting puffers we have heard about lately :lol:

Good to see you and the puffer are bonding, Sorry does he have a name yet?
