So its been a week or so since I posted, but its now been almost 2 weeks with the puffer, and I wanted to share some photos of the tank and the puffer, get any comments, ideas and feelings on my tank.

And Doug, ill be in for Dendros soon.. they looked buggered due to a tank error when I was in.. so didnt want to blind buy $90 of Dendros that werent coming out.







Now ive been contimplating for sometime what to get for other fish.. I have 3 LFS in my city on scorp hunt for me, a shop in town just got 2 orange toadfish in (not eating yet) and I do want to either do a Majestic Foxface or a bluethroat trigger.

Feelings?
Ideas on my tank and livestock?
Comments?

Thanks!

So here are some pictures of my very hungry stonefish tonight. I ran outa my Hikari 3" silversides and the little guys from sally's dont leave him full and cause me a headache cause he latchs his mouth around my whole feeder stick. Shaking him off is difficult more so cause I worry about hurting him.

So here are updated pics of the big boy..

Great pic's

I tried a toadfish once but unfortunately due to his passive nature my grouper killed it Personally I wouldn't try one in your tank.

If they were the same size, id gamble it. But if smaller... id sit on it for awhile. He has been pretty well behaved of late. Last night proved to me he was the king of the tank.

While feeding the puffer or eel, your in a race to get food away from the puffer, or throw food at the puffer than quickly feed the eel... its a challange to fend of the garberator known as puff. But last night I took some silversides in my claw, and put them in front of the stone, the puff raced at the stone, then stopped dead.. and just stared at the food as if pondering.. "I know you are a little crazy.. but if you dont want it, I do.. so you going to take it.. hmm.. come on, make up your mind" then proceeded some slow cautious snags at the food. It was kinda fun to watch my puffer being cautious.

So, with the puffer gone, its so much easier to feed, and to make everyone happy, I took a video of what I use when the stonefish in a tricky place.

Stonefish eats food
