Puff in his new tank

Aww bless him I love puffers they always look so sad and cute at the same time. My LFS had some MBU puffers in a huge display tank a while back, they were amazing to see.
 
Aww bless him. What kind of puffer is he? He looks sooo cute! Do love my puffs :) I've got a takifugu ocellatus and a fig 8 at the moment.

Ooh, never seen those for sale. Love the little face!

My fugu is hard work! He's very worth it, but complicated lol. I've had him nearly 6 months now though, and so far so good he's in pretty good condition. I keep him in a 4x1x1 tank with external filter and lots of water movement at 20 degrees and 1.015. Food is the main problem. He needs a thaimin-free diet, but a varied diet. And the only offerings I usually find are cockles or cockles! So he gets the odd bloodworms and very occasional mussel. Although he does always get vitazin vitamin supplement as well. Tried him on locusts a while ago since their nutritional content is spot on. But seeing a puffer bite the bum off a locust and then sit there watching it wiggle was enough to put me off live feeding for life!! I know nature is cruel, but there's cruel and there's too cruel!

He's called Mushroom by the way. Since its traditional to bump your o/h off for the insurance money by feeding him poisoned mushrooms!! I can just feed my o/h the puffer! Lol. Bit morbid, but we thought it would be a funny name...

It's not a pretty sight! But the nutritional content is actually really good. If I can dig out the link anywhere once I have my computer back I'll share it :)
