Thats an amazing puffer, would love to have one of these. Colors paterns and markings definently are more to my liking then a Fahaka. Plus, if they are more layed back and stay smaller could be easier kept in a comunity setting as you have done. Great job.

Thanks man :) I got rid of the Congos, they would actually get in the clam shell and get bitten accidently...dummies, would really confuse the puffer so I took them out. There is a school of those midwater swimming catfish in with him...can't think of the name...'debauwi' or something like that, they don't have any interest in his clams so they work good. Yeah, I like his colors too.
