I was at my lfs today and was looking in at the puffers (as usual) and i noticed that they had Tetraodon Baileyi's in stock. They had 2 of them hiding under a rock.
Those of you that have these fish, whats your experience with them? They seemed a bit boring, but i was wondering how interactive they are? or do they just hide all the time. What size tank do you keep yours in?

Re: bailyi (hairy puffer) at lfs
i had a baby one, about an inch long in a planted tank, meanest puffer i ever had. I couldn't do any pruning or decorating in the tank without him following my hand and biting it, all my other puffers are afraid when i put my whole hand in, but not him. Thats just my one experience with a baileyi, i took him back after a week.

Re: bailyi (hairy puffer) at lfs
Mine is about 4inch and he is the most active puffer compared with my other lurkers.
For days he's swimming around in his tank, loves it when I do WC he really goes nuts.
Sometimes he just lies somewhere, make me believe he's dead but when I put my hand in there (or something else) he rushes towards it.
My hairy is definitely my favorite puffer.

How much were they going for? They seem really cool to me.
