    A friend of mine is moving to the UK and she gave us these awesome little monsters.
    I had to collect them and their setup from Durban, thanx again @Blerts for helping me moving them and the other tanks to Bethlehem.

    Some specs of the tank:

    Size: 100x40x50 = 200L
    Filter: Cascade cannister 1000L/h
    Temp : 26 C
    Substrate: Aragonite

    They look great! Keep it up. Where did the names come from? Puffers always have different names, a friend called his Steve The Monkey @emocaveduck

    @tracyp we are feeding them crickets, bloodworms, shrimps and some snails. Im battling to source snails. My loaches did a good job in my planted tank. And you know that our lfs is not the best.

    @Firefly their names came from their previous owner. Spot has two spots on his head. Shades, he looks like a surfer with shades on his head. Bolt has a C on his forhead. And Prof T has a T on his face.

    She also named the Betta, Nelson and the corys are Cory and Dory. They are.in the planted Jebo...
