Peering over a plant pot like an Comanche Chopper.... he is only small but a serious hunter!

Awww he's soooo cute!!! So little, so cute :wub:

Have you seen him puff up??

He's such a little sweetie! Awwwww.... :wub:

No haven't seen him puff up yet!

He is small but dangerous... I pitty the earthworm, snail... anything that he comes across.

He is already starting to recognise me and becoming quite tame. I am going to get some ghost shrimp this weekend... they can clean the tank and double up as food. What snails should I get for him to eat?

Thanks for the comments, photos taken on a Nokia 6260 and are pretty good...

Wow! Nice! Trust me though, you don't want to see him puff up, its bad news! K?

I also pity anything my puffers come across!

Pretty much any snails will do, just make sure its not a malasian trumpet snail seeing as their shells are too hard and will more than likely break their teeth.

He looks adorable btw!

Absolutely love his tank as well, I'm sure he'll love you forever for getting him his own tank
