My Fang's never moved out of his cave, except to eat.

I have a group of Redtail Redeye puffers (C irrubesco) and they are very pretty and interesting as well, and I've got an upside down catfish in with them.
Really there's so many puffers that could suit your tank .... check around and see what's out there.

My Fang's swim around now and then, but mostly they hide in their little caverns. I mostly see them moving about either late at night, after regular lights are off, or sometimes in the morning when it's early but the sun has come up.
I have never ever seen them eating yet, but they must be because it disappears and they are still living. Strange little puffers they are though.

Hi Bruce, this is Suzanne, the American that comes in with the tall guy, my husband. We brought that Birchir in a couple of weeks ago or so.

Ahh cool.
You've certainly got a very impressive list of puffers.

Yeah I've got a very serious case of puffer-sickness!
