Puffer fish have a great appeal with many fish keepers as they look adorable and there are many species to choose from, some are dwarf varieties, some can grow quite large but most of these species puffer fish can be very aggressive so lots or research should be carried out before they are purchased and added to any aquarium.

They get their common name from their unique ability to inflate themselves with air or water so that they can increase their body size up to three times their original size; this ploy is believed to ward off predators fooling them into thinking that the puffer fish is larger than it actually is. The only other fish that has this ability is the Porcupine fish; these are clearly differentiated from Puffer fish as their bodies are covered in spines.

Puffer fish can be found all over the world in various habitats, they are saltwater varieties, freshwater puffer fish and freshwater puffer fish that also inhabit brackish water conditions. One word of warning, all puffer fish, including freshwater puffer fish have a poison in their bodies, this is called tetrodotoxin and can paralyse humans if large enough quantities are ingested, in some cases it can also lead to fatalities. Some puffer fish are a delicacy in the East but the chefs have to be specially licensed to serve up this fish with the poison glands removed making them safe to eat.

Another reason that many keepers find puffer fish so appealing is their unique personalities, despite their aggression towards tank mates, they do become very tame towards their keepers and will swim to the front of the tank when the keeper approaches as they get ready for their next meal. Many of the species have really cute faces, one that comes to mind is the dog-faced puffer, and this fish has the puppy eyes that many people just cannot resist. The only downside is the aggression that they display to their tank mates and towards each other, this can turn really nasty with some specimens and they may even kill other puffer fish when defending their territories, this can be eased by keeping them in a roomy aquarium allowing each tank member the space to have their own territory, adding dcor and plants will help to divide the aquarium and break up each puffer fishes line of sight. A tight fitting lid should also be used, they are excellent jumpers and the last thing you want to happen is for your puffer fish to finish up on the carpet.

Puffer fish are also high waste producers, an excellent filtration system must be used to cope with the large bio load, regular water changes will also need to be performed, at least 10% weekly to keep the water quality high, any signs of the water quality dropping can bring on the onset of health problems for your puffer fish.

The diet of puffer fish is also crucial to keep them in top health and to keep them interested in eating properly. Puffer fish are greedy eaters when offered the correct foods, they may ignore commercial flakes or pellets, offering them live or frozen foods gives much better results. Prawns, lance fish, chopped earthworms, bloodworms and small pieces of fish can all be offered. One important aspect of the diet is providing the puffer fish with shelled crustaceans or snails to keep their beaks trimmed down, the shells will grind down the beak to an acceptable level, these beaks are growing all of the time, if they are allowed to get too long, your puffer fish will struggle to feed and you may have to trim the beak yourself to correct matters.

Magic wallet: History

The magic wallet is not a new concept. This revolutionary concept appeared for the first time in the year 1920 and since then it has been existing in the market. A French wait staff invented the magic wallet urged by necessity to conceal receipts and tips. Soon afterwards his invention became popular all across the world and huge numbers of look-alikes were manufactured worldwide. Initially it seems that the magic wallet works on a complicated theory but in reality the theory on which the wallets functioning is based, is not that very complicated. A magic wallet is all about pure skill and it will put an end to all your credit card disorganizations and crushed bank note issues.

Magic wallet: The magic

The magic wallet is shaped as a rectangle and is styled like a booklet. The size is a little bigger than a credit card. You can open the wallet from either side; i.e. both right and left. The opening of the wallet gives you a feeling that you have opened a small book. When you open the wallet, you will get to see vertical straps, two in number running across the left-hand side and two X shaped straps on the right-hand side. The X straps are the tricky part. Fold any paper you have in to of its total size, put the paper on the X and shut wallet. Next step is to flip your magic wallet over and use the left side this time for opening it. You will be wonder-struck to find your paper on the right-hand side securely kept in place with the help of the vertical straps. This is indeed magical. Many people are initially intrigued by this trick. Therefore the name magic wallet is a very suitable name for this kind of a wallet.

Magic wallet: The Theory

Magic wallet functions on an elementary theory. It is basically a three-paneled gadget that has to be made out of any malleable material. Panel 1 is a simple rectangular shaped panel. Panel 3 is also rectangular shaped and bears X shaped straps. Panel 2 or medial panel bears vertical straps, 2 in number that act as a joining link between first and third panel. The first panel remains in the shape of a folder underneath the vertical straps. The wallet finally seems like a booklet with its strap panel resting across first panel on left-hand side and panel bearing the X straps on the right-hand side.

What kind of pet you are looking for? Have you ever thought about a gecko? You will find different kind of geckos but there is only one which is perfect as a house pet.

If you have seen pictures of leopard geckos, you are probably aware of what beautiful reptiles they are. Because of the work of breeders, leopard geckos come in an astonishing array of colours and patterns, from tangerine orange all the way to black and white striped, and many of these are quite striking creatures. I have been breeding reptiles for years and years now, and let me tell you: leopard geckos are some of my very favourite. This is not just because of their striking appearance, however. It is because they make such great pets.

Many people complain that reptiles are lousy pets. They feel that snakes and lizards are bad tempered, unaffectionate, dull, and boring company. For many of these creatures, this is true. They are simply not very easy to socialize, and are at best indifferent to humans. But the leopard gecko is different. Leopard geckos, if they are brought up among humans for their whole lives, are friendly, affectionate creatures who are really quite easy to get along with for anyone. They are pretty easy to care for as long as you remember a few basic facts about them. All leopard geckos must receive adequate, but not excessive warmth. Leopard geckos also must be fed daily with insects, and the like, and have enough space to move around. Finally, leopard geckos must not be left all by themselves. They technically can survive by themselves, but as a leopard gecko breeder, I can tell you that they are much happier when they have company. Really, leopard geckos do best when raised in groups of two or more, but even human companionship will help keep your pet happy. And a happy pet is a healthy pet.

If you are thinking of getting leopard geckos, there are a few things that you must consider first. They are not cute in the traditional sense, and so if your idea of a perfect pet is something soft that you can pet at your convenience, then the leopard gecko is right out. Although they are fairly affectionate lizards, if you are looking for some creature that will be overjoyed every single time that you enter the room, ditch the leopard geckos in favour of a nice golden retriever. But, if you are a lizard person, you probably already know it. If your idea of a nice pet is an interesting pet, then leopard geckos might be just the thing for you. I hope you already made your choice; you will never find a friendlier house pet than a gecko.
