Welcome on my website

I started quite late with my aquarium passion. When I was young my parents ones had a small tank at home. Every week we cleaned it out completely. Not quite a succes.

When I was president of the student corperation at university I got a goldfish as gift. I tried my best to give the fish, named blub, a nice house. In the end I decide the fish could do better in a fishpond.

 

Pufferfish, how it started

About 6 years ago I first met a pufferfish. I've readed some about peapuffers. When I went to the shop for some peapuffers they didn't had them. The had some other puffers. "Easy to take care for, easy in a smaller tank" Unfortunately that wasn't the thruth. Some weeks later Hannibal (Monotrete cochinchinensis) died. I really was devistated

Fot some months I didn't want any new puffers but in the end, well you can see the results on this site
