Meet Lucky the Puffer

[1UCKY]

As most of you know, I recently lost my prized Black Dog Face Puffer that I had for a few years a few weeks ago:sad2:. I was at a point where I was actually going to break down the tank; he was the main reason why I got into the hobby in the first place. There's something about their character that makes them so unique. This weekend my wife surprised me with this little guy whom we named "Lucky" after our Shih Tzu, which is also light brown and white. He has been exploring the tank in and out all day.

Thanks guys! I will try my best to make sure that this one lasts a long time with me. I will be upgrading this fall to a 300-400G FOWLR; it was my wife's idea (shocked me):teeth:.

Doubt that, she was the one that purchased the current 180 to upgrade from the 55 I originally started out with:tongue1:. I would get the tank now, but I have no place to store it till I move out.

Adam, he's being a little picky, but I had the same experience with my Black Puffer in the beginning. Tomorrow I'm going to the LFS and purchase some krill; that's what he was eating b4 the purchase.

I know its for a fowlr, but did you qt him? I hate being a typical nerd saying that, but due to the massace (brooklynella killed like 8 fish in 2-3 days) that occurred in my fowlr I am crazy paranoid about it. I know with fish that large to qt is a pain, but having a tank like that with a bad break out would be as devistating as having a car stolen. I apologize again about the typical annoying judgemental question.

Not a problem! My tank is currently running on hypo salinity; this puffer was in quarantine for about a month.

 

[JLAudio]

Sounds good, so puffer is probably just gonna take a cpl days to get used to all his new big roomates
