OK, these little ladies loooooooove me since I've started feeding them. Now I ingratiate myself with them at every occasion. So now they come out for me way more.
So THAT was my husband's secret behind their strange loyalty to him. He's just the-one-who-feeds.
Anyway, here's one of our two female DPs checking out her basket, and generally being a poser.
And finally, here's our hognose puffer! I've finally gotten my husband to agree to name him. Ladies and gentlemen, meet.... Armaggedon!!! He's a Tetraodon suvattii (hog-nose puffer, aka arrowhead puffer).
He is much better now after a very bad start in our house (breathing difficulties and ich).
For some reason, he loves the sound of scissors. In general, he's pretty inactive, but if you snap scissors around the tank, he's really excited and curious. Go figure?
He's really cute. When he swims, he looks like seal or a little whale.

Oh, and he loooooves his airstone. He plays elevator with it: he'll let himself be lifted up, and then swim back down for another round. It's really cute.
Since we've gotten Armaggedon, our dwarf puffers seem sooooo tiny to me, LOL.

Here's some pix of our dwarf puffers. I really like the close-up ones as they're of our babies (we've just bought them the other week), and you can see him slurp a blood worm on one of them.
My GSP is not very interactive. No matter what I do, all he does is swim up and down the edge of the glass. I'm not sure if he's eating either, but his color is nice... so I'm assuming he's eating more than I thought. When he's not going up and down and up and down, he's hiding in the plants by "his flower."
I am juggling to decide whether to get a dwarf. I really want one but I have heard they are agressive. I don't have an agressive tank, though. I keep , because I want them so bad. Please any advice post it on my thread titled Dwarf Puffers?. I just felt like sharing!!!
