Not big on the name, its a long story. But sure we love pics...

looks adorable!! they are quite the curious puffers so you'll want to keep their tank very intricate with a lot of breaking line of sight.

I like human names for pets.

so do i. i was at the dog park yesterday and someone had a collie cross named steve. it was really funny when she called him. i have a damsel named derek, and a knife fish named conan!

Ugh, those 2 names, Im not big on. Richard and Derek, that is. Ok, my ex (over 16 years ago) dumped me for a dude named Derek and when my wife and I split up over 9 years ago, she went out with a dude named Richard. Me and Richard did not see eye to eye, that is all im saying....LOL. Sorry if I offended anyone because Im not big on those names and sorry for bring my old heartbreak history up also but Im all good now...lol. But anyways, my dad had a German Sheperd named Jason and a Beagle named Bill...lol

Very cute indeed. i don't know if anyone else has had this, but i had a lot of stuff in my tank for my puffer and he always seemed to surf the glass, and would get flipped out by someone getting near the glass to look at him. Recently i changed substrate and took out the majority of stuff except for 3 fake plants, and 3 decorative corals and now he doesn't surf the glass nearly as much, and comes right up to the glass to greet me instead of darting around like a crazy fish. i wonder if the clutter was too much and stressed him out more or something. the lfs i bought him from had him in a tank with just a fake tree and nothing else, so maybe he's use to not having so much stuff around him?? who knows...only he does

I had a hamster called Sid and a cat called Jeff

One of my cats is called Siobhan, spelt funny but pronounced Shevonne. She's named after a friend of mine. One of our goats was called Colin after my uncle too...
