The Puffer Forum

Finally got me a good camera, and some decent shots of mr. fahaka : D Still haven't caught my M. abei yet, but I will update here when I do







This specimen belongs to my friend, ain't he beautiful

Oh he IS gorgeous! Look at those maroon stripes!!! I wish I could get bigger plants to grow, and I could get the darker feel in my tank... Sucks that I will need MORE LIGHT to get the plants to grow...

Someone pointed out on someone else's fahaka (that had a stripe that ended behind the fin) this one has one that ends just above the fin. (I'm looking for these now) Very beautiful Fahaka Thanks for sharing!

WOW those are some beautiful lines

beautiful shots... looks very healthy

Thank you all : ) He is a lovely puffer.

Well. My Abei puffer decided to appear, but in a very bad spot. Some algae on the glass, and very poor light under a plant made it impossible to get a good picture. This is as good as I managed to do:

I believe the one you are thinking of is Lisa's Fahaka, it had a stripe that ended behind the fin.

That is a beautiful Fahaka, and lovely photos Johanski.
Your Abei is a cutie, do you have a name for yours? I have one and his name is Byron, he's signing up for Weight Watcher's this fall.

Excellent pictures. Nice markings on both of them.

definitely PTOM material!!

does the abei have that blueish tint to it in natural lighting just looking at the tank. or is that something giving that effect? that is amazing looking if its really blue like it looks in the pictures and might push me over the edge to try and find one similar to that. very nice fahaka as well. another one i would like to have one day

When editing my pictures in photoshop I always try to make the colors look as natural as possible, so that's the actual look of my abei. It's a beauty. I was very lucky aswell, it was the most active one of the puffers in the store, and the last one left aswell, since my friend is working there (He owns the fahaka) he wanted to keep it in the store to observe it for as long as possible.

amazing that puffer is that color. might have to look into getting me an abei :0

Wow and wow!!!! I'm jealous

You really got some excellent photos of both fish. Nice!

More pics!! Verrrrrry nice!

So much for ever winning POTM LOL

Those are some awesome shots
