I've finally got the nefastus home after buying them on monday at Wildwoods. They've been sitting in the national aquatics centre at college since, and I've just trecked half the way accross the country to get them home again. Phew lol not fun! I swore after taking the abei on the underground I'd never do it again, but hey lol...

I'll try and get pics up tomorrow if they let me. I found at college they have 2 very distinct characters, one is a phsycho like my SAP, and the other is very shy and hides a lot of the time.

I also got them onto cockles but they won't take mussels or snails as yet. Will try bloodworm in the morning.

please take some pics! I've never seen a live specimen of a nefastus and the only pics i've seen are from the puffer book.

epine, I've been trying believe me! They are even harder than my SAP because they never sit still!

Heh, take your time. After you take the pics, create a new thread in the puffer pic section of this forum. This thread is in the wrong section; its for non-puffers.
