It's a boy! It's a Dwarf Pufferfish!



Here's a view of his tank:


I am not 100% certain of his name, but I keep calling him McNugget, so that might be it. I am going to read through a baby-name book before I commit.

I called 3 aquarium stores before finding one that had Dwarf Puffers. Aly accompanied me to pick him out this evening. As we rode the train back to Brooklyn, a man with a guitar got on and started playing "Here Comes the Sun." McNugget immediately faced the guitarist, watched him, and started "dancing" (swimming in a pattern) for the duration of the song. It is pretty cool that McNugget already seems to have a pretty complex sense of appreciation for live music. Aly suggested he could be called "Randy" (the name of the musician) or Randy McNugget.

If you have any other suggestions for names I welcome them!! He is seriously SO CUTE. It was really hard to photograph him, but I will keep trying to get a good shot.
