New little bundle of joy

Well, you know how it is.... losing fish makes you so depressed that you have to go get a new baby to spoil to try to fill that hole... Yesterday I went to the fish store and they had South American puffers! I'd never seen them in person before! Of course I couldn't pass that up. So, this little guy followed me home. I haven't come up with a name yet... I'm excited for a new challenge though, since these guys are pretty high-maintenance, even for puffers. Well, here he is...

Beautiful looking puffer
I'd call him Picasso, he has cool enough colouration to be like one of his paintings lol.

Ooh, two Eltons in the house now! I musn't tell Sir Elton the Fabulous... He'd get all jealous XD

Adorable puffer! I'm heartily considering getting a ten gallon for my sword fry, but after they've been given away, that will leave me with an empty 10 gal

Hehe, don't worry, your guy is still the most fabulous. And he's been knighted. Poor Elton is just a fish, not a knight fish.

Thank you! He's doing wonderful! I was expecting him to be shy like the dwarf puffers, but he isn't! He likes to come say hi to me. I've ordered Finquel for the guy, since I'll have to eventually clip his teeth, especially cause his teeth are already pretty long to start with. And I'm very pleased, I have him living with the dwarf puffers, and they are all getting along very well! I was worried that he'd try to eat them, lol. But nope, they're doing great. He's a fun guy.
