Hello from me and Fishy-Fish (Congo Puffer)

[saqmaster]

Hi there.. I got a link to this forum from the Puffer Forum.. looks pretty good!

I'm Stu. 27 from the UK. Work in IT. Kept fish to about 15+ years now. Currently I have a single tank housing a Congo Puffer (Tetraodon Miurus). Bravely sharing his tank is a single peckoltia (can't remember the L number!) and today I introduced a pair of 'network catfish'.. As the peckoltia has been unharmed i've taken a gamble with these two new fella's.. certainly nothing else will be put in!

Here's Fishy-Fish :-

And here is his tank :-

I bought myself a Nikon D50 for Christmas. I just have the kit lens right now and intend to learn photography. I'll probably buy a telephoto lens (maybe a 30-200 or something) and a macro lens (~100mm) at some point B-)

Welcome to APF. It's nice to have another UK member here. I have seen miurus before, they are cool - but not exactly ideal community fish: I hope your cats are OK.
I hope we can help you to photograph your fishes well - we can already see that you have made a good start

Definitely a cool puffer. I've only seen two of them before and they were underneath the sand, so this is actually the first time that I've actually seen an entire one above the sand.
