Absolutely! Of course some of them I had to give numbers as well (e.g. Spot 1, Spot 2 -- Gizmo is my original one, He passed 2 years ago, was about 6 1/2" when I got him so my belief is He was around 2 years old.), I keep documenting their behavior and various information (diet, likes, dislikes, tank mates that won't get killed, etc.) as well as all of my other puffers. I designed a room specifically for my fish with nice custom made cabinetry stained with Cherry (I love darker wood), and hard-wood floors (that was a bad idea - wood doesn't do so well wet). It looks like an expensive pet shop/fish store!
Of course expensive pet shop crossed with a science lab...
I've been trying for awhile to get the different puffers to breed and have only been successful with a few types. The GSP's still just have me fumbling for definitions, because they all have a separate personality and different behavior, and everything I've read (just about every book you can buy, or get from the library) has no real definition of how to sex them so knowing whether or not I have a pair that will mate is difficult, its' been trial and error for over 3 years now with no success. Of course I have learned a lot.
I'll try to get some photos up, I've got to scan them in since most of the pictures were taken awhile ago with a disposable camera during and after construction of the fish room. I've been working on a website that is like an encyclopedia with all my documentation, and photos but its' taking me awhile... I'd said I'm 60% done with it.
