Well, i got the little guy and he is in a container being accumulated and has ate 2-b/w and working on a tiny snail and very, very, lively. Something tells me he will be ok. maybe the other little guy was sick. But this one is sure active, he's now trying to attack the hose from the drip lol that is why i named him Gizmo.And i took the dwarf's back as i thought they were to young to be sold. They didn't appear to eat at all. So i will wait on dwarf's.So guy's and gal's maybe i got me a good puff, his colouring is good but his tummy is very tiny and i found out today ,when they recieve these puff's they are in brackish and they put them in f/w no wonder they die-too many change's for the poor little things.But i think with some good foods and some meds for worms Gizmo will be fine lol Yah, Yah. bella

Congrats Bella and welcome, Gizmo! Cute name.

shih-tzu mom

Well, Lucy thank-you and Giz thanks you too with his full belly lol and i think according to his pattern, he is a figure8-puffer that put's a change in things lol So i have to do some more reading on the figure-8's bella

pinkfloydpuffer

Gizmo? Which puffer is this now? I'm so confused with all the puffs lol

shih-tzu mom

This, is the new Puff Pink and i believe he is a figure 8 puffer according to his pattern and only one puff. He is in his tank and so far so good. He's inspecting and eating and being totally silly.I took a couple of pic's but i scared him. So i think i will wait a couple of days before i take them again.He seems to be healthy but his tummy is a little flat lol and i will work on that. But he ate while i was accumulating him 2-b/ws and a snail. So he is diff; hungrey lol.And he's very noisey, checking everything out lol i think he will be alright.Update this morning he is eating his worms and i put a snail in for him. I think he is finally getting full lol, boy do they even feed these guys in the stores ? bella

pinkfloydpuffer

Glad to hear he's doing well.

shih-tzu mom

Thank's Pink- and how is our Ambellina? well i hope and being a good girl bella

pinkfloydpuffer

Yes, she's being an angel
She's nice to her cories, they're very happy. And she had a lovely meal of bloodworms last night Even shared her food with the cories too. She's a sweetheart

shih-tzu mom

Ah< how cute lol they are so sweet-Gizmo has found he likes lying on the nylon i had in the tank for cycling and i didn't have the heart to take it out lol as this morning he was all cuddled up in it. He looked so cute, i can put with the eye-sore of the nylon he seems to enjoy it so much. bella

pinkfloydpuffer

Haha, that's adorable!

shih-tzu mom

Yeah, i couldn't find him at 5-30am so i panicked, of course and there he was all curled up sound asleep. i wish i had taken a pic but he was very frightened yesterday when i took a couple so i'll have to wait awhile so i don't frighten him again. But he looked so comfy. bella

pinkfloydpuffer

Aw, that is so sweet! I can't wait to see some pics of him, then I can definitely tell you what species he is. He's made himself a little bed, what a cutie

shih-tzu mom

Yes, Pink- i am dying for you to see him too so we both know what kind he is- i am not even sure if he is a figure-8 lol and they had him listed as leopard puffer's but boy doe's he seem hungrey lol how much is too much food? his little tummy is so flat i think he has not ate for awhile and they told me yesterday- that he had been there 2-weeks.But it seems hard to fill him up. So i am giving little bit's often-so how much is too much Pink. bella

pinkfloydpuffer

How big is he exactly?

shih-tzu mom

He's about an 1-1/14 is his size lol and the pattern is a little weird, and they said he would be 2-3-inches in growth lol but who knows with the LFS lol bella

pinkfloydpuffer

Feed him one snail, or around 10 bloodworms, or about that much of any other puffer food... you should see his belly get big, but not bulging like he's gonna explode, lol.

shih-tzu mom

Yeah, that is approx; what i am giving him and his tummy is still flat lol. Maybe worms lol as that would cause him to be so hungrey lol. And he is not like the other puff that passed lol he is all over the aquarium, very active so i guess tha's good hey. bella

pinkfloydpuffer

YEah, it could likely be IPs. Feed him more, and medicate the food if you can.

shih-tzu mom

Sorry, Pink i made up a mixture-i call giz's cocktail, consisting of b/w and shrimp, dalphina and i mix that all together ands give it to him and he seems to love it lol. and boy doe's he attack the snails no problem there.- i thought maybe i would have to crush them but not he doe's a good job on them lol. bella

shih-tzu mom

Ok, Pink i have the 'Jungle Parisite Clear so about 1/4 tablet in his food ?bella

pinkfloydpuffer

Yeah, that sounds good. Give him that every day for a week. (dissolved of course lol)

shih-tzu mom

Ok, will do Pink-and Thank's Pink-what would we all,do without you lol ?? for all your knowledge and your help along the way. bella

pinkfloydpuffer

Lol, no prob

shih-tzu mom

Little update on giz-he is doing fine this am and last night he was trying to sleep and i kept waking him up to see if he was alive lol and i guess i'm paranoid after losing 2-puff's but he was giving me the dirtiest look you could ever get.-like lay-off i'm full and want to sleep, just thought i would share with you all.He is also being wormed right now and being a very good boy about eating the food with meds in it lol. I thought maybe he would refuse it as it don't seem too delightful lol, but he's being very good and active except for last night when i kept waking him lol bella

pinkfloydpuffer

Hehe, that's sweet
