Green Spotted Puffer survey

[zombiefetus]

I'm curious about some things, so if you've kept a Green Spotted Puffer at any point and have some time please fill this out thanks!
Fill out one for each GSP you own(ed), unless they were all purchased at the same place/same size/same time.
Pictures are EXTREMELY helpful, one for each fish please ;] If you have any of the same fish at a small size and a much larger size that's very helpful too. They won't be distributed or used anywhere else, this is just a kind of personal project.

Thanks guys I really need pictures to go along with this too. I'm looking for certain spot patterns to see if/how they relate to the place/date purchased, among other things. If you already have a picture thread for the puffer you can just link to it.
