Entry #2:
Valentini Puffer named Poofka

Entry #3:
Species: Stars and Stripes
Name : Cute Itty Bitty LFS Puffer that I can't own....sniff
Age : Unknown
Size : 8"-9"
Brief Description : A really healthy looking Stars and Stripes puffer that was at my LFS, Aquarium, on Sepulveda in Culver City, CA
Entry #4:
Hello, my name is Sushi! I'm a Takifugu Ocellatus, or a fugu puffer. I don't remember when I was born, but I've been living in this tank for 3 months and I've grown from 2.5" to 4" here. I like to attack my food as fast as I can! Oh oh oh I gotta run, I see a big piece of jumbo krill dangling above the water!
Entry #5:
Species: Carinotetraodon salivator male.
Name: Jack the Ripper (he killed his wife before I bought him)
Age: Unknown
Size: 6-7 cm
Description: Jack lives by his own in his 22 G tank. I wish I could give him a new wife, but he probably would kill her as well. Jack has earlier been living together with two other c. salivators, the two specimens are owned by another user her at TPF. Jack used to be very shy, but has been much more around after he became ill, and I had to feed him a little every hour. After that, he actually thinks I am quite nice, instead of something he should hide from. But that was about time he did, as I've been keeping him for 1 1/2 years.
