  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Long overdue update, Gizmo the puffer got moved. He was moved to mu upper row tank, so now in my 46g Bowfront.

Was exploring his new tank

His old tank, a Fluval Flex 32.5 gallon is empty and will be replaced with a standard 40B

I always felt bad with how the reflection and curvature of the Fluval would throw off the puffers ability to see his food. A standard bowfront doesn't seem to have the same issue. Plus an interactive fish like my puffer now has a prominent place where hopefully he gets even more outgoing because he will see more of what is going on in the fishroom.
 
Excellent update & amazing fish. I been meaning to pick one of these up! Seem to grow pretty slow, I remember loving this fish 10 years ago!
I love hairy puffers, great wet pets for sure. My current one named ‘Gizmo’ is fun but nowhere near as personable as my first one this thread was about, that one was named ‘Scruffy’ . She was a huge beggar and as personable as an Oscar or any cichlids Ive owned. When she passed I knew I wanted another.
