I doubt the LFs would have the correct Latin name either. Go with the what experts here are telling you.

ok decision made, goodbye community fish ! how do i sex him/her ?? this morning already looks like a different fish, swimming in the current rather than laying down, he came up to my finger when i put it to the side of the tank this morning and followed it along have to admit i have fallen in love with him/her we have named it Fitch (long story !) Cant believe how responsive such a small and poorly fish can be !

ok just called the lfs and was told i read the wrong label when i had discussed with the assistant it being a peru puffer (which she didnt know what the peru was ! said latin name was colomessus) and they were labelled nile puufer which i dont believe because i didnt see that label anywhere ! So nile puffer was what i bought but i was not warned or informed and i told them that but she just had an attitude problem and said 'yes we know they get that big' damn them ! So its nice of them to tell people how big they get as they knew already !

) ok am hoping someone will reply soon as i seem to be replying to myself hee hee.. Sir Minion mentioned he will need sand, how deep will it need to be now and how deep will it need to be once he is fully grown ??

thanks !

I have never seen my fahaka bury himself. They can't be sexed.

gender is pretty much irrelevant anyways, since you can't keep two fahakas within sight of each other.

i was wondering about why the crap it was labeled a "peru" puffer. did they honestly have fahakas and colomesus in the same tank? the whole situation is absurd.

at least you've got the capacity to take care of the little sweetie. best of luck with him/her!

Martha & Cookie bury thenselves nearly every night and whenever they want to relax!

Here's Martha as a baby:

And here she is all growed up.

he does (look like Cookie) but has more yellow and black colouring

More like Martha when she was a baby then? here she's only three inches long.

He just has a sand pit at the moment until i can do the full change (Thursday)! He was so funny last night, swimming round like a crazy thing after the shrimp and he ate 4 but as he was chasing he got distracted by a small snail on the side and went for that then back to the shimp ha ha ha.. He does look like martha but the red stripes on Martha are black on him but he is getting brighter by the day. Plus great news my BF has agreed to another tank ! hooray ! (he made me take one back a month or so ago !)
