The Puffer Forum

Just had a nosey back throught this thread, loving the tank!

But...singing to pufferfish...? You're madder than me!! lol
I've always chatted to my CT betta, Mokusam, and I'm quite sure he listens to me! He comes up to the front glass and starts swimming around like a madman whenever I sit down to have a chat. But that might just be the promise of food after I've finished yapping y'know...
I wave to Mushroom whenever I go in the kitchen to make a cuppa now too, and he gives me this sort of "what are you doing you strange human" look

Lol, I'm just VERY happy the near constant pacing has stopped and he's actually exploring

So happy for you seven

I was so jealous that x-ray got crabs, I went out and got some myself today! I have 10 little blue legged hermit crabs! He pecked at one a couple of times and it withdrew tightly in its shell. Then I think he noticed that they have eyes, and he will look at them if he happens to swim by one, but it would appear that they are in his "has eyes, not edible" category.

I haven't read all through this topic, so I haven't heard this one before. What kind of puffer doesn't like food with eyes?

Balki is a strange little guy. I had to take some honey comb rocks out of his tank because he was terrified of them and wouldn't go near them. I think he thought they had many eyes starting at him.

i'm glad i'm not the only one who thought that.


Ahaah but really seven, Balki sound like such a cute stinker!

rotfl at the has eyes, not edible thing

Hahaha! I loved the video, Goldie.

Thanks everyone, I have to agree that Balki is adorable. My husband I are ridiculously fond of him. He said to Balki one day, "If I could, I'd kiss your slimey little face"
