I know, it's hard to believe that my little guy will grow into a big puffer, I am always saying that because he's just so cute that it seems weird to think that he will become a very big puffer in a year's time.

i know there is 2 fahakas at my LFS they are a little less than 2"!!! ive never seen them that small its hard to believe they will grow into giant monsters!

Very adorable at that size, aren't they?

awwww he's adorable!

Thank you qtrhorse89, I can't believe how quickly he's growing.

How is Ratchet by the way, any better?

Yeah they grow like little weeds. My mom came over a few weeks back and wouldn't believe he was the same fish she had seen before lol.

Thanks for asking, but nope still not eating. He acts like a completely different fish. Tomorrow I'm going to go pick him up some more ghost shrimp. I can't tell if he's eating them or they are hiding. I hope he's eating them.

Awww.... so sorry to hear that qtrhorse89, I truly hope that he changes soon. Are any of the fish in the tank with him competing with him for food by chance? I know you've spoke about what's in with him, but I can't remember if anyone's asked about competition for food.
It's late here and I need to get to bed, but I will be hoping for the best for your Ratchet and that he goes back to being the puffer you knew before. Honestly I do know how you're feeling because my BeeBoo didn't eat for quite a while and I was really worried about it. And I can't remember if you said Ratchet would take snails or not. I know when BeeBoo would not eat any regular food, I was able to feed him snails and he would eat them until his belly was fat. Just a thought, although you've probably already tried that.
Good luck and I will say a prayer for Ratchet tonight.

Thanks that really means a lot to me

I wasn't just saying that either qtrhorse89, I DID actually pray for Ratchet and will continue to do so, and why not, animals deserve prayers just as much as people do!
