She really is good looking!

She looks so hug-able!

Thanks! I'm so happy to have found her

Now those shots look more like a Turgidus. Nice.

haha yeah, they're a lot clearer then the first set of pics. I don't have a proper light for her just yet, I am picking one up hopefully tonight.. as long as all goes well. I have a temp. light which is just a desk lamp .. for now.

I've just had a look at this post for the first time .... excellent photos Lisa, really great!

You are getting too good at taking photos and I totally resent it (just kidding )

Thanks Suzanne.. she puffed up this morning! I tried to run & get the camera, but by the time I was half way down the hallway she had depuffed herself.

That's really cool.

Do you use flash?

Thanks lil, no I do not use flash, I was checking out the ISO settings when I took those pics, I like using the aquarium macro setting .. seems to come out a bit clearer, but not as bright.

such a pretty pretty puffer.

Thats a brackish puffer right?

Thanks, no she is Fresh Water

whats the common name? I looked throught the puffpedia and didnt see anything

She is a "brown puffer" Monotrete Turgidus is the scientific name

Is she fairly active during the day?

Pictures like those make me want to change my mind on what type of puffer to get lol

Sometimes she is, she is more of a nocturnal puffer though. Each puffer is truely different though. During the day, she is either looking for food, hiding under her drift wood. Or she'll be hiding, then when I just peek my head through the door as soon as she see's me she comes out of her hiding spot
