Since I have added 2 more puffers, guess I should add the names too!

A.modestus named Shamus....kids wanted to call him Shamrock, Shamus is a nickname my grandmother always used for my grandfather, James, so it stuck.

T. Suvatti aptly named Chief Porky!!!

Troender....out of curiousity, I have seen you mention a couple of times you wish you had the $$$ for the suvatti you have seen for sale.....do you mind me asking what they want for it? I lucked out and found Chief at a store we visited when we went to PA and he was a turn in because previous owner couldn't keep him any longer, don't know why, and I got him for $15. :D

hi my cheeky chaps are called clogs (as in clever clogs) as he waits for the others to attack the food and just sits and waits for it to float down to him, another is called muppit, cos i called it him one day and it stuck as he bumps his head on the thermonater on perpose im sure.. the last one is dumb +++ due to the fact that he is just the silly one of the bunch but the best caracter...

Okay, so I admit, I enjoy naming my pets.

My Valentini Puffer is named P. Diddy. He seems to like the name :D

Hmm... well, part of my fascination with puffers is the way that they seem to hover in the water. And my Figure 8's markings kind of remind me of a bumblebee, so his name is Buzz. :) Not so original, but it fits.
