If you could have any puffer what would it be and why?
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

Definitely a Striped burrfish.
In FW a Fahaka. If I'm going with puffers I can keep, it would be a miurus.

Why? Because striped burrfishes are absolutely gorgeous. And I am soo in love with Myaj's Paris. I love the stories about that fish.

Why Fahaka? I love their personality, together with them being very beautiful. The same goes for the miurus, especially their personality.

T. mbu for FW; a porc for SW.

Each requires a huge tank, but offers more personality than almost any other fishes.

I already got mine!
The Fahaka for fw. Why? because of their personality's. I love the way she blows the sand before burying herself.

For salt it would be the porc or burr species. But then i need to win the lottery first.
