Puffer Names.. what are yours?
Wondered what your puffers are called, or previously loved puffers...

Re: Puffer Names.. what are yours?
Well I've got a few puffers and have them all named except my irrubesco redeye puffers and my dwarf puffers, and that's because I have 5 of the irrubesco, and more than 10 of the dwarf puffers, so it would be really difficult to name them, and remember who they are.
But here are a few of my other puffers names:
(small) Congo - Biscuit
(large) Congo - Orangey
Abei - Hymie
Abei - Byron
Ceylons - Yorkie, Pudgie and Baby Blip
Turgidus - Louie
Cutcutias - Ned & Ted
GSP's - Ying & Yang
Mbu - BeeBoo
Fahaka - Obie
Suvattii - Fred
Baileyi - Babs
Nefastus - Oscar
Bornean Redeye - Felix
Salivator - Mr Stripey
Palembang - Tooie
