What PP says. Nice fish!
Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Give a fish a man, and he'll eat for weeks.

just saw this now.. uhm my buddy is at about 3 inches long. happy and healthy! i miss my buddy so much.. thankfully my bro is taking good care of him..
i couldnt forget when my buddy didnt see me for about a month and was so happy that it went out of his cave and greeted me with the biggest smile..
usually he chills out inside his cave but this was a real treat for me :)

A weird looking porcupine puffer? I never seen one with markings like these... http://my.qoop.com/store/Rob-Stevens-39 ... 453144838/
