Meet "Bumper"
 

We've always wanted a Porcupine Puffer so when Safari in Victoria had this guy...we couldn't resist. He eats well and gets along OK with the rest of the tank but requires a bit of a hand with getting enough food as he is slow!http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...pa/bumper1.jpghttp://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...pa/bumper2.jpg

Excellent choice Sarah. I had my eye on that guy too. He's so endearing.
However, I need fish to eat pellets for when I return to sea in a year from now.
Here's to a good life Bumper! :smile:

Cheers,

Cute fish. Good luck with him. I like the permanent smiles on their face. ahha

Does he puff up at all?

Cute!:biggrin:

Nope, no puffing...which is good as puffing up is bad for them. Thanks for the compliments...he is really neat...
:biggrin:Hey Mark, saw him at Japarto's and he was soo healthy and outgoing I just had to have him, and my new shrimp/goby combo that I got from Japarto too! They had a few interesting things there when I was in Vic on the weekend...

Stunning pic! Submit it for one of the Photo of the Month contests :biggrin:

I agree. Fantastic pic :cool: It doesn't even look like he's in water :razz:

I love porcupine puffers... and he's a cutie!

Just keep an eye on him... they tend to get ich really easily. Our puffer will get ich just to spite us ;).

Enjoy him!

Really nice picture and a cool fish. I really like porkies but don't they get big or am I thinking of another puffer?
