My Two F8s in their Tiki Tank

Post by Pufftastic »

I've had my two Figure 8s for a couple months now, and I'm pleased to report that they're doing well and growing like little weeds. Both of them devour crushed ramshorn snails every night, although Hula is the dominant puff and eats about twice as much as Luau (who still gets plenty). Hula's a little bigger as a result.

Thanks for looking! It's so nice to have a place to show off my puffs.
Yo ho, yo ho, a puffer's life for me.

Cute :)
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
