I'm usually all for cute and pretty fish that are nice and peaceful and don't have to worry about losing fingers with. I don't know what came over me but I decided to give predatory fish a try. Last night I picked up an arrowhead puffer from a guy on campus who was selling his. He's in his own 20 gal with some guppy fry in case he gets hungry. He is the UGLIEST fish I have ever seen, seriously he looks like a retarded E.T. And yet he is very chaming in his own fugly way.
Just wanted to share the news of my new pet. I'll get pics up as soon as I can. Anyone have any experience with these? I'm excited to try the dangle-shrimp-on-a-string feeding technique tonight. Wish me luck, as I hear they're hard to feed dead food initially, and this guy was raised on feeders at his old home.
Also, does anyone know where I can get one of those stainless steel mesh gloves used to fillet fish?? I want to wear it when i gravel vac so my fingers stay intact! 8O
