Its about time for an update:
I have been feeding George less- he is much more active and swims around quite a bit now. He still seems bored, so I am trying to get him a friend or two. Just seems hard to find SAP here- so I will have to more than likely order online (which I hate to do with such special creatures as the weather around the country as been so unpredictable).

But he still enjoys his food (injured endler fry, snails, clams, frozen krill, fresh sockeye salmon, shrimp.... but still wont ouch bloodworms-but I keep trying). He really just wants to take it from my hand/fingers.... I was told he was a 'sweetheart' and maybe that meant more domesticated? basically a puppy dog. He wont go near the ghost shrimp unless I feed them by hand (they are populating the tank with amazing speed).

No signs of illness, just a bit bored or depressed. AND I think overfed.

(the article posted earlier in this thread?) Yes I did.
There is so much information that contradicts itself on the internet involving puffers. No wonder people dont know how to properly care for them.
Trust that I will do anything in my power to ensure that George is a happy camper. He even gets vitamins! lol.
