I am back ....

Hey All!

I lost my bookmark for this site and it doesn't come up much in English language searches, but I stumbled across it and am back ....

I have picked up a few more puffers since I was last here, an abei, a baileye, a trio of Dwarf Puffers and one last tank in reserve for when I finally come across a duboisi.

All of my others are still healthy and as happy as I can make them in a glass cage.

Hi Darb!

Welcome back! We missed you.
Wow a nice list of puffers.

Do you have any pics to share with us?

Hey Darb, glad you are back!

Your collection is getting crazy big

Have you seen our new database? Would love to add some high resolution pictures of your puffers in there also, if you would like that yourself ofcourse

How is the sabahensis doing?

Wow those are two rare puffers . Are they easy to purchase over there? For the database or not ...... we love pictures .

hey, sorry for the delayed response ....

I moved and all went relatively well, no losses but moving 9 puffer tanks is a lot of work. All puffers moved very well and had no losses. I had an extra double stacker setup, so I was able to set up 2 tanks ahead of time and just catch and transport each fish to his new tank.

I don't have any photos available, my saba puffer splashed brackish water on my camera and it didn't react well. My saba is stable and seems to be content, I have it at about 27/28 degrees and 1.016/1.017 SG with "live rock" and a crushed coral substrate.

Both the abei and baileye came from a shop in the US which stocks both of them fairly regularly. They seem to have a good SE Asia (Vietnam?) supplier. Unfortunately the baileye only has one eye but we are stuck with each other for the next decade or so ...

I will be sure to check out the database and maybe add some photos if and when I get a camera.

Cheers all.

Congratulations on your new house

Good to hear all puffers are doing well. Do you have all the puffers in the same room?
