LOL! Well, there are a lot more of them in SW, so we would hope for more choices. But Burrfish faces are hard to top - living cartoon characters!

Re: Favorite Puffer
and now I'm all excited again! XD I hope Figgy lives for a long time! This has to be the one fish that I knew I wanted and did my research off and on for about a year before finally getting one! XDRTR wrote:My personal favorite is the F-8. Those pack everything that defines puffers into a small size that anybody with 2-3 square feet of space can keep as long and perhaps better than they could the average dog. They are highly active and owner-responsive, should live about a decade and a half (but can live longer), and for a specialist fish they are quite undemanding.

Re: Favorite Puffer
You're right. But both burrfishes and porcupines are close relatives to puffers.I.Puff.Too wrote:I haven't owned either but for FW I want an mbu and for SW it'd be a porcupine puffer. If i'm not mistaken I don't think that's an actual puffer either, but I could be wrong!

Re: Favorite Puffer
For me a cool puffer is a long horned boxfish, dog faced puffer or a Mbu. My favorite is Finn though.

Re: Favorite Puffer
At least Walrus Head got the proper and expected growth rate out of his Fahaka. These fish grow fast! Good job!
