The Puffer Forum

Thanks. I had read two things: that freshwater Puffers had more toxins stored in their skin/flesh, and also the toxins are tissue-bound. I wonder if the toxins can be released as tissues degrade after the fish dies, especially in 70+ water temps. I don't think it was bloodworms. Everything I've read...

Hi there, Main question: Can anyone provide me any documentation of what type(s) of toxins are possibly carried by dwarf Puffers, and any negative interactions with HUMANS and dwarf Puffers from toxins? Background: I bought 3 Puffers labeled "Pea Puffers" from a local fish shop 6 weeks ago...
