The Puffer Forum

Picked up my new gsp today. Havnt named him yet and I just finished aclimateing him and he is in his new home. Im gonna attempt to feed him tomorrow he's not as skinny as my first one was when i got him so it must not have been too long since he was caught. Wish me luck.

Good luck! & Congratz on your new puffer!!
Can't wait to see pics!!

Thnx, yah right now he is generally being a glass pacer and then he will explore a little and go back to glass paceing and so on. So it's impossible to get a pic. Maybe I can get one if he decides to eat tomorrow.

Took some pics with my IPhone they suck but here they are he doesnt like the phone and hasnt got used to me at all yet. I was able to get him to chow down on a nightcrawler and a few hours later he had some nice dark brown redish poop comeing out (lol i wanst sitting around waiting i just walked in during his business moment.) So, so far so good for IPs. I hate my substrate but i havnt been able to talk the wife into letting me get rid of the easter egg colored gravel yet as soon as i can talk her into it i will be putting some crushed coral in there.

I think im going to name him Hiro after charector on Heroes. Thats one of my favorite tv shows besides Weeds. And I think thats what he would look if he was human lol.

Haha i think i just realized what my signature should be. I know im a nerd lol. I love Star Wars too.

Hiro is a great name He looks SOOOO cute!!

Read my sig.. can't get any nerdier than that!

HAHA thnx, I think its gonna take some time for him to realize that im the food man lol. He still flees when i come close to the tank.

Don't feel bad for catching your fish poo. When we here get a new puffer, just about all of us are peeking in regularly hoping to see healthy, dark poo. And yes, some of us have even sat there waiting for it.
