Polly Update!


Hi Everyone!
Sorry I haven't been around much really busy at work and my partner has been sick.
I just wanted to take a min a give all of you an update on Polly the reef puffer.
I'm happy to say she is doing great! The first few days she was pretty shy and only ate frozen brine. After few more days she started eating other frozen and freeze dried foods. Now she is out much more and eats flake as well as frozen. She has not bothered anything in the tank. My cleaner shrimp is alive and well. Every now and then I see her nipping at the snails but just once and then she leaves. She hasn't bothered any of the corals feather dusters or my filter feeding cuke.
So all is well with Polly.
Thanks for the pvt msg asking about her.
Patrick

thanks everyone! We're now trying to hire people. It will prob be a cpl of months before my schedual goes back to normal. Thats if my boss doesn't fire anyone! Brian feels a little better today we're going out for lunch. Its the first time he's been out in a week. I took pix of Polly to post but for some reason they wont download. I haope this encourages others who want a puffer but are worried they will eat up everything.

Good to see you back Patrick, and good to hear about Polly, too!!

Getting Brian out of the house after a week is a very good idea! Glad he's on the mend!

Oh Patrick, Polly is a perfect puffer name - I'm so glad she's doing well - and I'm glad Brian feels better too. Lots of flu and junk going around right now.

HI Everyone! thanks for all the post on Polly and Brian. Brian is doing much better. Polly is out all the time now and she now relizes I'm the one who feeds the tank so I cant walk by with out her flirting with me! The only negative thing is she does pick on my feather dusters.
