Little Obie didn't seem to grow much the first month I had him and now he seems to grow day by day! My little guy seems to be greenish, and I hope he stays this way, apparently there is a green variety and I would love for Obie to remain green. :happydance:

Sounds neat, Samson is normally very dark, but when he sees me, he lightens right up and I can see he bands :)

Not to bump the topic from Fahakas or anything, but I have to say, I was (and still am) amazed by how DPs can recognize certain things (I'd heard the stories of the brains of the puffers, but never anything about the tiny dwarf puffer). For example: When they feel the vibrations in the floor (it must shake the tank a little) of someone walking into the room, they swim tentatively out from behind their terra-cotta pot den. If it's me, they come out and sort of wiggle back and forth in front of the glass, if not, they scoot back to safety. It's really funny to watch! They also like to stare at me if I'm watching TV. ;]

Mine do the same thing, I have my DP tank right next to my PC when I am sitting here, there's one in paticular that will hang out in the closest corner to me.
the rest will come to see whos around, if it isnt me they will just scoot back into hiding.. very intelligent i agree :)
