Hi All,
I know it's been a while since I was on here, but it's only because I've been very busy with new tanks and juggling fish from one tank to the next.
Today is Saturday, bright and sunny, in good old England. In a couple of hours I am going to pick up more puffers to add to my growing collection. I will be getting a T Baileyi, which is somewhat rare and I am very excited about getting him. I've been waiting about 2 months to be able to finally get him. The man I'm getting him from sent me a message last night asking if I'd take a juvenile suvattii too. I already have 2 juvenile suvattii that I got from another source, but I said "yeah", and so it's looking like I will have 3 suvattii in all.
Then next weekend I'm due to get yet another puffer, a Palembangensis, or Humpback puffer. So I will be all puffered out soon.
I recently started another brackish tank for 2 Green Spotted puffers that were looking so fat and cute at the fish store that I just had to have them.
So my running total so far is: 1) Community tank with about 9 dwarf puffers in; 2) total puffer tank with 11 C irrubesco (Redtail Redeye puffer); 3) another puffer tank with 2 South American puffer (c asellus), 5 dwarf puffers (C travancoricus), and 2 Figure 8 (yes they are in freshwater and doing really well); 3) Suvattii tank with 2 juvenile suvattii; 4) GSP tank with 2 Green Spotted puffer (T nigroviridus).
And let's not forget my Mudskippers, I recently got another female, so now I have three, one male, 2 female. They are so cool.

And that's it for me. I will try and get a photo of my Baileyi once it's settled into the tank.

Thanks for keeping us updated. The pictures should be very interesting. How do you house the Mudskippers, and do they spawn out of the water or in?

Well I got the Baileyi, and the juvenile suvattii. I was surprised by how big the Baileyi is, I was expecting him/her to be smaller. When I got them home, I put the new suvattii in one of my new tanks, and then I transferred the other two suvattii into the new tank with the new juvenile, unsure how it would work out because as we all know, puffers can be troublesome. I'm happy to say that they've all gotten on really well, in fact, I'd not seen my two suvattii so active since I've had them.
So, it's good news all around so far! And I can look forward to next week because a friend is bringing his Palembang (Humpback) puffer over, I am buying it from him, and he's giving me a little Figure 8 puffer too.
I may be all puffed out after all that!!!
