So finally got my camera working again.... him in his new tank and his main tank buddy... I measured him at 10" when I moved him. I'm actually waiting for his nasty side to kick in as I've noticed his belly is getting abit concaved due to I think his tank-mate keeping him away from food :irked:

Well that combo worked for a few weeks... MIss Fancy pants had to be moved last night... She decided to attack Bruce and went for his eyes. He's actually doing fine, scratched up abit. But I decided that nasty girl got new digs. at 12" he's still a sally....

rofl Hoyo.. I will if something ever comes up and we can't keep him. He's actually grown mor eon me even though originally he was bought for my husband... and my fahaka puffer has grown on him.. lol.

Need to snap some more pics. He's still growing like a crazy weed. wouldn't surprize me if he hits 24" his first year with us. since he's hit 12" in something like 4 monthes with us now?

he was about 20$. took me iir 3 monthes of harassing the LFS here to get one. Seems like everywhere but the middle of WI they are pretty common in stores. But doesn't seem like much info on raising them is around. 'nore growth rates.
