Thank you!

I'm so pleased with him just hope he does well. He hasn't been glass dancing as much this morning, so hopefully he's slowly settling in.

He's all of about 3" long atm, anyone want to hazard a guess how old that might make him? I've no idea how quick these guys grow. I'm going to try to get a vid of him having dinner this eve! Gonna give him another mussel to rip to shreds!! lol

Mine was a voracious eater. What-sized tank are you planning for him?

Well, o/h permitting, a lovely big 4 foot one! Saw a fantastic tank and cabinet deal in one of my lfs the other day which was too good to be true! Just gotta work out where on earth I'd put it.

Also, some more piccys of the lovey little guy for you all:

Mushroom is so cute!!!

beautiful little friend youve got! i have always loved their markings...

Does anyone know if the air driven internal protein skimmers are any good?

I'm thinking I'll put one of those alongside the filters initially if they are.



That's the one:

I use Backpacs.

Sorry if I'm being a bit daft, but what's a backpac?

No worries, it's a type of skimmer.

Gotcha. Found them, will have a read up, cheers

Good news! The glass dancing has finally stopped! I think I can stop panicking that he's not going to make it past a week with me, because he has! I've had him 1 week and 1 day
Been keeping an eye on him all morning today, and he seems good, so providing there's no change later, I'm going to do his first salty water change tonight (eep!)

Skimmer arrived from ebay too, although I don't think it's as good as I thought it was. When I was reading the ad, it really came across as a hang-on-the-back one, but when it turned up, it's an internal one, which I'm not too happy about. But I've got it now, and fitted it, so we'll see how it does. Not that it's going to be much use in freshwater, but you know how it goes, new gadget! So have to play with it! lol

Congrats on getting past that first stressful week! I went through a similar process with most of my puffers, especially if it was my first time owning that breed. It sounds like you are going to take really good care of him.

Its always a relief when a new pet settles in and relaxes aa little. Such a beatiful puffer you have

Congrats on getting him feel good
