That's it. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was beginning to worry.

with the mis-information you recieved from them to begin with i wouldnt be surprised if those idiots think that adding aquarium salt makes it brackish. so dont be surprised if they are indeed in FW with just aquarium salt, not marine

I think they are referring to the rather interesting markings on one of your puffers head! Looks a bit creepy! Mine has a little group of spots on his side, that looks like a skull!

Yes that one looks like a frowning skull. I can't believe you haven't noticed.

:) We got giant bags of aragonite sand today to supplement the "used" rocks from our other tank. I can definitely see why you guys love your puffers so much! They are amazing fish.
