It's a Girl! Meet Princess Pauline

[edmlfc1]

I am in love! I want everyone to meet Princess Pauline the porcupine puffer. She is at the
local fish store in quarantine. I will be bringing her home on Feb. 13th.
I can't wait to get my baby girl home. The pictures are not very good but it's the best I could do. She has blue eyes and is about 3-3.5 inches long. And she is extremely adorable!

Congrats on the new addition.
I have a 6" porc. He is my favorite fish, but my girlfriend thinks he is hideous. They are great fish, and very entertaining. Good luck with her.

What kind of a girlfriend is that- thinks a porc puffer is ugly?

Those are so funny to watch swim. Almost like having a dog , just in water. I have to hide my wallet everytime i see one. They are too tempting

I can't stand the waiting!!! I want her home!! I will be going by the LFS to visit her today and every chance I get until she comes home. I will be bringing her some snacks today so I can watch her eat. She is just so darn cute!

I hate to break the news.....

I think it's a boy. One of those on the bottom isn't a spine.

I say it's a girl because it looks like a pauline.:fun2:

Seriously I thought it was nearly impossible to tell the difference.:confused:
How can you tell really?

I see they it is in QT with am emperor angel, I hope they don't keep adding fish to the QT. Everytime they add something you have to start over.

Which tank is the porky going in?

[edmlfc1]

The emperor angel came in the same day as the puffer so they put them together. Before that the tank was empty. I already asked them about it.

She will be going into a 125 gallon 6' long tank. I have 2 green spotted puffers in this tank that I raised from freshwater to saltwater. I have a divider to start with just incase of aggression. On my day off I will take out the divider and watch them to make sure all is well. If it's not I will put the divider back in which will give her 62.5 gallons and the puffers 62.5 gallons. I figure that would be good until she gets larger and then I can try it again without the divider.
