New computer buddy

[Triggerman]

I've got a new friend to keep me company while I'm on the computer.He's seriously cute.I've only named a couple of my fish but he's definitely gonna have to have a name.He ate a whole bunch a couple of hours after I got him.

He's in the upper right corner

Awesome fish. I will caution you--don't let him eat too much. Small, daily feedings, or larger feedings every other day or so will be much better for him. Puffers have really slow digestive systems, and large meals can pack up on them, and decay--very bad, hard to treat. Make sure he gets lots of crunchies, too, keep them teeth worn down.

I have a spiny burrfish that I adore--he's like a puppy.

They get very large too

Once again, awesome pix. What really intrigues me about those fish is their eyes.

 

[Triggerman]

They get very large too

If I can get him to adulthood I have no prob. getting him a large tank.\
Look at that face.
I've seen a full size adult at our lfs.He was a trade in.Who could get rid of a face like that? :huh:

 

[OrionGirl]

Depends on the species. There are 2, and the more commonly found won't excede 15 inches. The other is a monster--I've seen one that was every bit of 3 feet! Huge thing--I couldn't even imagine how big it would be inflated!

Here's a pic of one puffed up.

Wow, that's pretty cool, although puffing up usually means its stressed.

Reminds me of Beavis in his "ARE YOU THREATENING ME???" mode
