And borneensis as well? :lol:
Aaaarrrrrgh!
Don't tempt me, don't tempt me!
When and, and, and...
How much space do you give your salivators?
Has the shop ordered the puffers? I am interested... I can't afford it, of couse, but just have to...

Did the other fishes die? ;P :lol:
What space? That's a bit of the problem, you see. That's why the salivator had to remain in the shop for a few weeks. And the irrubescos will have very small space for a short while too. And where on earth shall I place the tanks as soon as they arrive? There isn't room left in this house...

I will build (what's the English name for it?) Porsa**** to all the puffertanks in my bedroom. But that isn't exactly what I will do first. I have an awful lot of other things I must spend a lot of money on first.

My salivator pair has got a 240liter... But at the moment the male has got it alone.

Maybe they will have a bigger one! :D Since my father brought home a bigger tank (I think)
But if this happens it's because I'm having more females ;)

I'm not familiar with the short form. DP means? Local pet shops are nasty that way. They know what you want. One of mine, tells me when they have any interesting catfishes. "You have to see the fishes we just got in..."

Dwarf puffer to me is Carinotetraodon travancoricus ;)
I've been thinking it would be cool to have just Carinotetraodon ;)

It seems like you're on your way to having them all ;-)
Nice little ones, those DP. Charming little things. They sold an awful lot of them in one of the local pet shops - the same one where I bought my GSP. This is the pet shop I've been complaining about. I wonder how many people that came home with a good looking puffer, and thought that they had a nice, good looking and funny fish to put in their community tank. I don't like the idea at all. This charming little thing is of the more peaceful puffers, but still... I wouldn't dear to trust even a peaceful puffer with other fishes. That pet shop doesn't know what they are doing. They have become better, after they got some new girls working there. Girls that doesn't know much, but at least is willing to learn (in opposite of their leader). So I do my chatting with them, and innocently do my "Do you know, there's an awful lot of pet shops that does ***. That's not good because of ***" Not mentioning that I suspect that they do the same thing. Then they get to learn something important, without suspecting that I am actually teaching them how to treat their fishes. :lol: I am kind of wicked :lol:

Hmmm... Maybe one more tank with puffers in my bedroom? :lol: Those DP are really, really charming little things.

Actually I plan 6 tanks in my bedroom, but didn't plan puffers in them all (I just have to have more space for catfishes! There are so many beautiful ones, and so little space :lol: I am totally insane when it comes to catfishes). Even though the filters I use are silent, that would probably mean a lot of noise anyway. Probably not a good idea, but it's too late. I already have need for that space, and planned most of it. :lol:

And I need to do some thinking about what I do tell my parents. They think this hobby is only rubbish. And last time they visited me, there were only two tanks in my apartment. Now its 11, including the very small ones. 34 and still afraid of my parents...

Ooops! Did I write 34? It's bad enough being 33, without having to add another year. Ok, I will be 34 in two weeks...

Thank you :-D That's the good part of not having a photo of myself as an avatar... :lol:

Well, I am rather childish :wink:

I am doing my best :lol: Right now I have puffers only in two rooms, my living room and my bedroom. But as you see, I'm trying to collect them into my bedroom only. You must have some tanks around in the house too? And I know you have bigger ones than I have.

You must have a big bedroom!

Oh my, moving means selling the puffers? That would be very sad if you have to. What will you do? If you have to sell, there's always someone who will buy, you know :wink:
