No description came with this pic.

Wow some great shots there, was difficult to choose.

I found it hard to choose between 4 and 8

haha i love number three

Petey's starting to get big, ain't he!

Sorry! Last pic is mine Sent it in a bit of a hurry and totally forgot to add a description.

That's "Little Sunshine" as he's affectionatly known! His name's actually Aleister. I was trying to bribe him with bloodworms to pose for pics, and I only got a couple before he got wise to me and went and hid at the back of the tank!!

He's a fig 8 puffer Must be coming up for a year old now if I remember rightly. He's all of about 1 1/2 - 2" nose to tail. Easter island man there is his only tankmate. I feel he'd murder anything else instantly! Once fed him a locust...not pretty. Never again. Defo seen the killer streak he's got!!

Yes , I still cant wait for him to get about 10" !

I love Petey, how could anyone resist that cute smile
When I win the lottery that's gonna be my first purchase ummmm... After the tank and everything needed to go with it and learning how to run a marine setup.......good job I don't do the lottery often, think I'd end up in a right pickle lol

I had a hard time voting between 3 and 8. But 3 just gave me the biggest smile first thing on a Monday. So I had to vote 3.

Is he big enough to eat shrimp tails yet?
