My local petco has Figure 8 puffers. I'm thinking of turning my 10 gallon brackish after i get the 40 just to suit him..... too bad my goby will be outgrowing a 10 too quick and he'll have to remain fresh in the 40....

my last 2 days went like this lol
well after 5 days in Spain 5 hours sleep last night and 4 the night before a very tired James got the only on time flight from girona (barcalona) home got home about 1am stumbled in threw the kettle on and went straight to the tank lol by now its about 130am (UK) all water tests came out good so cuppa tea and at 2am off to bed i went. alarm goes at 8:30 and i flew out of bed wich is good for me considering i like me sleep lol. shower breakfast and onto the bike cycle to the lfs and sort out all the little bits i need such as food and some dechlorinater as i ran out after last water change before i left a empty tank to go to spain.then picked my 2 super cute figure of 8 puffers out. and me mum came up to collect while i rode home. one of them in the process of catching made an attempt to rip the net to bits and was doing quite a good job too. but got them home into their tank and i have never seen fish settle so fast. within 30 seconds the now named Mr munch because he tries to eat everything (literally) had ripped 2 snails in half and was feasting. I didn't even know they were there but within another minute the un named puffer had found another and it lasted seconds. For my first puffers i am so impressed so far Mr munch has been hiding allot but the other one is always up at the glass begging as soon as i come into the room. He is so friendly i am struggling to find a name (all suggestions welcome) pics up as soon as i can get clear ones.

Hi James B

My Figure 8 does the same thing. When you come into the room he is straight there at the glass. The only thing he doesn't touch are snails what is going to course problems for his teeth in the long run. He is definitley the most entertaining fish I had so far.

Even Garia?

Just want to say a huge thanks to all who have helped me along the way with the set up and advice.
