Tonight I was feeling alittle troubled before the Leaf game because I have a twelve page paper to write on Kant's theory that it is always wrong to lie...So i went to my basement to check out my various fish, and to no suprise my good pal Gizmo the Fahaka came eagerly up in a hurry to greet me swishing the water at the top of the tank from side to side. He is now roughly six to seven inches and is unusually active for a puffer. Why i created this post is because, today i realized how great it is to keep a puffer. Puffers are truely more than just another fish. So for all you Puffer keepers who feel the same way, do a favour for all those who don't keep puffers and proudly post a picture of you little guy (or big guy for that matter). I will post more recent photos soon but i'll start this off with some that were taken about a month ago:headbang2

CHEERS:D

Nice looking Fahaka! You are lucky with his activeness, the only two Fahakas i have seen in person have both been inactive and resting most of the time.

However my dwarf puffers were all fantastic little characters!
Mbu are next on my list of puffers to own in the future!
 
My Figure 8s are also very active and very comical. Sadly, they won't stay still for a photo op. Your Fahaka looks awesome!
 
i have a mbu in a tank and two fahakas in another with some thin bar dats, the fahakas are starting ti figth, i'm trying so hard to keep them together, knowwing eventually they'll have to be sepparated... :(

Ummm...you should never keep two in the same tank. This is a huge mistake. Separate ASAP...
 
i only want one of the fahakas, but they are like 2 cms or 3, lol and i'll keep the less agressive and sell the other, but they are still too small to hurt anything...;)
 
Hey guys, sorry for being ignorant but do puffers actually 'puff' up? I don't think I've ever seen a ballooned up puffer. Does anybody have any pics?
 
Here's my current 2.
