Wonderful photos! Baloo is adorable. His eyes are wild! I've never seen eyes quite like that. Like balls of iridescence. Very cool.

For sure, I love how he is an over-all orange, but has spots that go much darker orange almost a red colour

I just got myself another little Congo puffer, looks a bit like your Baloo. He's so tiny it's hard to see him easily. He's a beautiful orange and reminds me of Orangetta. I was going to tell my husband that Orangetta had a baby and that I just found it in the tank one day (that was purplecandle's idea -- but a very good one). The new puff has been really good, he's eaten a couple of tiny earthworms and he's eaten a couple very small guppy fry that I put in with him. He's just so cute. I'm not even sure if Biscuit was that tiny when I first got him.

Anyway, I did want to say that your photos of Baloo are awesome Lisa, really done well. Makes me want to go out and get some orange sand. I wonder what it would look like mixed with whitish sand. Hmmmm, something to think about I suppose.
I posted photos of the new Congo on my thread ("So What's One More Congo Puffer?"). :D

Nice!

I saw one of these today at a fish store in North Side of Chicago at Ocean Design Aquarium Inc, 6500 W Irving Park Rd Ste 2 Chicago, IL. Very nice place they have, very clean.

I'm not sure what they normally go for but I think they had him for $80 or $90. I took a few pictures...
