Nala - Fahaka Puffer

[L!$A]

I would like for you all to meet Nala our Fahaka Puffer
We named her Nala after the Lion King :D
She is currently in a 90 gallon all to herself :) She was temporarily split with a sting ray, and now she is all alone once again. Which she seems a lot happier :D

I had no idea they buried themselves in the sand like that. That picture is so cute!

[L!$A]

hehe thanks again Jay!! Fahaka's actually love to burry themselves, not all puffers do.
Our other puffer - the congo burry's himself as well, whereas our mbu does not

[Pamelajo]

Thanks for sharing those pics. Like Jay I also did not know they buried themselves.

[L!$A]

Yeah :) She doesn't do it often, but when she does, it looks really cool

[CACAdmin]

That does really look cool. It must be neat to watch her dig herself in.

[L!$A]

I haven't seen her herself do it, but theres a really good video on youtube of a larger fahaka burrying himself.. I would post the link but I can't access youtube on my work computer :cry:

[CACAdmin]

It's ok. We'll wait patiently for you to get home to give us the link.
...

:SLEEP:
... Are you home yet? :Waiting: :wink: :DevilGrin: :laugh:

[L!$A]

haha.. Uh oh!!! I don't have the internet at home :no:

Although, I'm sure I can find it.. without actually going on youtube..

[L!$A]

I found a link to it.. but not from youtube.

Thanks! That's pricesless... amazing how quickly they can do it.

[L!$A]

Yeah, it's one of the many cool things about puffers ::D:

Almost looks like he is posing for the camera. lol thanks for sharing.

[L!$A]

No problem.. she is a true model.. lol :laugh:

[CACAdmin]

i like the 3rd pic of her under the driftwood. It looks like she's saying, "Make sure you get my best side." :wink:

[L!$A]

Hehe, thanks Jay. She really likes the camera!

[CACAdmin]

Question is, what does she think of human hands when it comes to waterchanges? And who gets to do them?

[L!$A]

My bf and I both do it lol, it gets done once every week, and she doesn't do much, she's pretty aggressive though!! Maybe if you kept just your finger tips in there she'd check it out, but once you have your whole arm in there she doesn't really know what to do lol

[CACAdmin]

Glad to hear the work is shared... that way you both end up wet and smelling fishy. :laugh:

Yes, I guess a whole arm in the tank is pretty intimidating for her. Just don't forget one day and leave your fingers danging just at the surface. They might just be mistaken for some small edible creatures. :wideeyed:

[L!$A]

haha for sure, the puffer you really have to watch out for though - is Baloo, lol
whenever i feed him he always tries to get my fingers instead.. eyeing them down..
