    Yay! I got a new fish, Its a Porcupine Puffer! I got him to go w/ my rectangular trigger. I was in a pickle between a bursa trigger and a piccasso when my eyes met his big cerulean eyes and he just melted me. When i was a little, my parents always took me to a place called the orlando sience center where they had a huge Porcupine puffer named Murphy. Seeing him was always the highlight of the visit. He was bigger than my head is now! He would always follow me, And i always wished i could have him. one time when i was 6 i went there and i was informed that he had passed. I was so upset that i even cried. So now, i am naming my puffer Murphy in memory of the original. anyway, can you guys resist those big puppy-dog eyes? How will i ever resist from pouring the entire jar of shrimp in there for him. Anyway, as you can see from the picture, he is timid, considering i just acclimated him. But he was friendly in the store.

    Octopus?? LOL. Thanks for the compliment, i forgot to add that i was also looking at a niger trigger. Hey, i havent been here in a while. so i'll tell you now that i recently got 10 little 1.5" finger mullet, they are dynamite at keeping my glass clean. The trigger hasn't been aggressive, all he is doing is splaying by making his triggers poke out to make him look bigger. The two work together at herding the school of mullet into the corner. But they are both weak swimmers so no need to worry about fish murder on the lightning quick mullet.

    OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Now i see it. it looks just like an octo's head. you guys are right! I've also always wanted an octo but they are extremely fragile to water parameters, so its a no-go
