I agree with everyone else, that is great - those truly are pets.

On a side note I feel embarrassed with my own 'livestock switching addiction'. I am going to use this example as a motivator to help enjoy what I have without feeling the need to go bigger, faster, stronger, prettier, rarer, etc... So, thanks for that, I needed to see this thread

She eats bay scallops, tiger shrimp and formula 1 cubes. Sometimes freeze dried krill for a treat.

That trigger is awesome, but HOLY COW, a yellow tail damsel can live for 20 years. I would have lost the farm on that wager...

Now I admit I'm no saint. right triggerfish1976???? but that puffer and that tank don't match. If that puffer has been in that tank for anywhere near the mentioned damsel's or queen's time, then there has been enough time to buy a bigger f'n tank. Give me your paypal account, I'll send some $$$ towards the cause.


FREE WILLY!

Name.

Does the Queen have a name? I do not name most of my fish, but I have lossely name my Tesselata Eel "NESS". As in LochNESS. Like the Lochness monster. So I can call it Nessie too. Assuming it's a girl, but it might work for a boy too.

Salty I love the pics. Please keep them coming
I do wonder about the puffer. If it is not puffed up then is it just fat??? Based on your neighbors other success I will cut her a break on the puffers tank but it does seem a bit small.

I know the tank is small. Puff is very content though, he is well taken care of. Water changes every 10 days keeps his water quality up.
The queen's name is Queen.
