I'm planning a new tank for a F8 puffer (it's turning up this weekend!) and I went to my LFS to have a look at their stock armed with my trusty camera. Thought you might like to see some of the pics. They're not as good as I'd hoped but the shop was packed and people kept wanting to get past me (how rude )...
this fire eel was a stunner and kept peeking out at me

Eventually he went and hid again

great discus

firemouth cichlids

bbg's

lots of mbu's

butterfly goby waspfish

and of course the F8s...not loooking too good as they had munched on each other alot

I want this one day...

Can't wait for my new tank to turn up...the excitement is almost unbearable

I dont know why these idiot shops stock Mbu Puffers, its ridiculous, how many people have a 500gall + tank to house one in!

also, the 2nd and 3rd puffers look like T. Fluviatilis or T. Sabahesis

Neovespicula Depressifrons thats the proper name for the fish, its a brackish fish, with a mild toxin in its spines, predatory....etc.

The mbu are ones that folk have sold on to the shop, having (shock horror) outgrown their tanks, but they're not a fish I'd have room for that's for sure. The other puffs could be what you say, I didn't pay any attention to the labelling tbh, so most likely my ignorance/bad Still lovely fish though

nnaaaa i dont think they are attractive, to me they are just another Cichlid. I find Puffers, Polypterus, Channa attractive as they are strange and odd compared to the standard mass produced fish ranges.
