hello all!
Hi all! I am new to this forum and found it by trying to find any/all info I could on the fascinating puffer fish. I have a few of salt water tanks and currently have a juvenile scribbled mappa puffer (arothron mappa). I will have to say that I have never had a fish that I liked so much as him. I also have a blue dot toby puffer (in another tank). I look forward to learning from you and possibly sharing what I have learned in the short time of having a large puffer.

Welcome 
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.

Re: hello all!
Hello welcome. I love Mappas but never owned one, please share pics if you have some.
Re: hello all!
I know he is going to get huge... Hoping that it takes a little bit of time before that happens, he is still under 3 inches he is my avatar pic on here. Right now hard to get good pics of him being that he is still small.

Re: hello all!
Welcome to the forum!
Just wanted to let you know that if you can't upgrade for the mappa in the future sometimes local aquariums (Not like a fish shop but the place tourists go) will take them for you.
Anyway good luck! Would love to see more pics of your fish and setups.
