The Puffer Forum

Wooooo, I *finally* got my figure eight puffers! They're a little big, about 1.5 inches, but they're sooooo cute! Me and my GF each picked one, so we have our own! Tanya named her's Alakazam and I've named mine Pickles (for now, at least). I will post up pictures soon enough! Also found a Knight Goby, so he's chillin' with the puffs.

I also had a gracious donation of rocks, so I'm going to make a nice setup before I take a full tank picture. Also, I had a big bag of tiny shells and spread it all across the sand to give them something to hunt for. I hope that keeps them entertained while the tank is kinda bare, hehe!

They're so funny, though! They just try to bite everything, and it's so cute.

Okay, I'll stop rambling.

that's great! can't wait to see them!

Great job Paul! I am very happy for you!

It's about time Paul! I'm excited for you!!

Congrats on the new puffers!

Great!!!!! F8 are so much fun!!
Can't wait to see them and your setup

Ooooooh boy... this is what I get for trusting a pet store... turns out I didn't get Figure 8s... I actually got Ceylons. *Sigh* I really didn't want to put the tank to high-end brackish

Also:
So, my 4" Knight Goby has disappeared... I looked all over the floor, but I don't see him. The only thing I can think of is that he's hiding inside a huge shell I have... but he really would have had to squeeze to get in there. Does anyone know if they can bury themselves in sand? It's the only other thing I can think of...

I've never seen my Gobys dig into the sand, but in my experience they are extremely good hiders... I wouldn't give up just yet.

aw man. too bad you didn't get the F8s, but you atleast still got some puffers...

Heh, yeah. I would bring them back if they weren't so damn cute and entertaining!

Any chance of some picture?

Won't let me post them here, so go check in the puffer pics area!

sorry you didnt get what you wanted, but ceylons are puffers too!!

Oh I'm not disappointed with the puffers! I'm just a bit disappointed that I won't be able to keep them the way I wanted to, that's all.

Looks like you'll need to upgrade that tank!
