Ha. That's great. Yes, I guess that was shame in Farouk's eyes. He tried to show me that he could still swim even though he looked blown up like a like a peanut, but his "swimming" was a sad affair... it was kind of like a cross between floating like an astronaut (without much control) and...

Thanks for all your help and please keep it coming. I want to be as responsible a puffer owner as possible. After reading for a few days, I have realized there is so much CONFLICTING info out there from size at adulthood, to water prefs to compatibility. I have seen pages upon pages just on the whol...

Shells and Corals in the brakish tank.
