My new fish, and a new surprise!

[BastardFish]

I just bought a babie Fahaka puffer tonight. He is around a inch and a half and very cute! I have had two of these befor. But in the short time I have had him he has already done something the others never did! When I poored him out of the bag and into the net. He BLEW UP to about the size of a 50 cent piece! I new these puffers were capable of this, but until now I have never seen them do it. It was really cool! I am very stoked on this little guy, and I just wanted to sare with the board

Nice! Another sweet fish I have yet to own.

Yeah, he was kinda skinny when I brought him home, but in the last couple of days I have fattened him up quite a bit! He is a eating machine!
His tank mates are for now a shoal of 10 Exodon's and 1 6'' albino chanel cat.
I know this will be a problem soon, but for now it is working. He will get is own solo residence soon. He leaves the exodon's be and they do the same to him. However just go'es to show you that you can never trust a puffer! As he has suprising to me, already attacked the cat. Nipped his fin's pritty good! I will be moving the cat today.

Just remember that it is best not to let them inflate with air.

Oh Guppy I had no control over it. It was when I dumped him from the bag to the net that it happened.
