SAY HELLO TO CHEWY MY ARROWHEAD PUFFER!!







Thats the first time he burrow under the substrates. As you can see he's camoflouge. He's a very curious arrowhead but i think all puffers are. Always check on what im doing. When there's guest at the house he'll definately go infront of the tank and study them. Otherwise he'll be in his home i.e cave.

how long have you had him? he looks like a healthy, plump fellow

have him for about a month now. Didnt post anything about him because wnat him to be healthy first. I couldnt resist on taking him home from the LFS. They charge $9 i was like WOW and the tank he was in is a 10 gal tank bare bottom. I had to reescue him and give him a proper home. He's currently 3.5 inch and my favorite puffer right now.

just asking because everytime i see them in my lfs's they are thin...not IP thin but just slender, he looks big and healthy, probably that month with you did it

He is a strapping young fellow. Looks real good too and I love how he blends right into the substrate.

He's a handsome fellow.

Yea Yunachin. They change color all the time from light to dark.

He looks great.

Thank you guys...if chew understand what i tell him..im sure he'll thank everyone for the complinment..heh

I bet he's really happy to have some sand! BB for a suvattii would be like me trying to sleep w/o a blanket.

hehe..those are actually eco-complete substrate..the regular black ones. Every since he started to burrow. He can stay hidden for few hours.

Aww...he's awesome! Very cool!

I am jealous! I wanted to buy an arrowhead a couple weeks back, but I hesitated too much. When I went back to look at him, an old man was buying a two gallon tank with the suvattii for his five year old grand-daughter. Yikes!

what the???? you should of told the old man thats not good enough for the arrowhead..neexd 30 gal tank or bigger!!!

Yeah, I should have...but he was buying everything the staff was telling him to. Not only are the staff not knowledgable about fish, but they don't know how to upsell either.

I adore puffers that burrow, its quite possibly one of the most adorable things a fish can do! hah.
