He is a Black Masked Puffer, he is the coolest fish. I feed him by hand to make sure he is getting enough. Everyone else is a lot faster then him. He is never in a hurry, everything is good to him.
Mike, I usually shop at Auqa Touch on 32nd Street and Cactus, but Bubu (the Puffer) is from About the Reef in Tempe. It was my first time there and I fell in love with him. The qaulity of the fish is good. Where do you shop?

I mostly shop at those two. I think Aqua Touch is a bit pricey. I've been very happy with the employees, quality of fish, and selection at About the Reef, but its a bit of a drive for me (I live just south of Anthem). Thats actually where I got my puffer on Sunday. All of the *****'s (except Scottsdale and 101) in the valley have scared me! Typically one dead fish for every 2 tanks. :nope:
Ocean Floor has a huge selection for hardgoods, but they work on a commission so be careful. If you know what you are looking for (and if they carry it) PetsMart seems to have the best hardgood prices from what I've found.
By the way, Bubu is beautiful. Sounds like he has a great personality too!

Mike, I do have to agree with you. About the Reef is too far for me. I am at Bell and Grand in Surprise. Even Auqu Touch is a drive but they have always treated me well. I always get there mean crabs. I have a fondness for crabs D ). Pet Co is bad, I usually get all of my food at Tropical Treasures or Auqa Touch. Tropical is by Hooters on 27th Ave and Bell. I will get some more pics of Bubu, he is so funny, when he is hungry and I walk by he swims side ways and smiles really big. Last Sunday he puffed up to about the size of softball. It was amazing. Afterwards he looked a little embarrsed.
Lefty, I know in the ocean he can be about a foot, he is about 5" now. I really do not expect him to get to much bigger. If you have the tank for him, I would so get one. If your wife really is not interested in the salt water thing, get one of him and she would be. He has such personality.
