Hello everyone. I'm a newbie to this site.

Post by OCEANUS »

Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and thought I would post a few pics. I know a few people whom are members here, but I have never joined an all puffer bulletin board before. I usually lean towards the other fishes that share the same Order...the triggerfish.

Here are a few pics of fish I have now or had at one time.
A. stellatus (One of the coolest puffers I have ever owned. I bought him when he was about 2 inches long and bright orange. Sold him a few months back and he was over half a foot long)
Image


Trying to look tough...with an 11 inch trigger behind him.
Image


A. mappa 8/21/05 (just a little dude about 2 inches long or so)
Image


This angle looks like a human skull to me for some reason. :shock:

Hope you enjoyed the pics. Thanks.

Thanks for the compliments and the warm welcome everyone.
Yes I do run it from my house. If the admin allows me to post some sales/discounts from time to time, I definately will.

Hope to be posting more soon.

The current guidelines allow commercial posts in the classifieds. As long as the items are related to fish or fish supplies--post away!

lol. :shock: :shock: :shock: Pamela, I'm not sure about what you said in your posts, but hey it sounds cool.

I noticed something in this pic I didn't see before. Tell me if you see it also. A hint, It's not the crappy slime algae growing on the rocks. :D
What is it...

It looks like a black and white football with a face, but I can't quite make it out...
Sorry...the last couple of posts were off topic...they refer to my request for some US English idioms so's I could annoy a friend of mine with them even more than I do now :wink:
The East End gangster thing...stereotyped tough looking dudes who square up to you and tell you to shut up (I've never actually experienced this, by the way).
It's just that your fish's faces looked to me like they were doing that.
Hope that clears it up.
Pami.
