Another new Fahaka!

Just picked up this little guy off the board here last week. I have to say I am completely blown away by him! Took about a day for him to get somewhat comfortable, but within a week he is a force to be reckoned with! Very aggressive feeding, chases my finger on the glass and always seem to beg for attention when I come home! Definitely a great fish to get me back into the hobby!

Gave him a special treat today, live crab. That was a battle and he ended up eating almost 90% of it!! Crazy to watch and hear the shell crunching through the glass!

Ill post a quick video later.

Nice man. I've always wanted a puffer, but need another tank first.

thanks guys! I literally almost had a heart attack when I couldn't find him the first morning, he had buried himself so deep and next to some driftwood, I could barely see 1 eyeball LOL!! He's a cool little guy......Only about 3" but I'm sure thats gonna double in a few months.

Hahahaha, always gotta love it when a puffer buries itself and you have to play hide'n'seek with it just to make sure its alright... especially when it comes to feeding time...

little update: he's growing already! gotten wider, and at least a half inch longer. also his personality gets more bold and aggressive by the day!! hates my dogs near the tank!! super cool fish haha. eats shrimp from my hand or breaks little live crabs in half!!
