Puffo says "Thank you everyone! Even though Idontknow is not the best photographer and has a cheap camera, he was in the right place and the right time. The competition was fierce. Must have been sheer luck! But, don't tell him."

Puffo is very special to me because he was a rescue from a game center. He was malnourished and kept in murky water in a little betta container. The instructions that came with him only said to feed him once a week. He wasn't happy at all at that time.

Now, he lives in a big tank and is happy because he is able to get lots of advice and information from the kind people at the PUFfer FOrum (his namesake)!
