How hairy?

Post by DMD123 »

Just one of those weird questions. I ask because Ive seen tons of videos and pictures where they range from 'what hair?' to 'Chewbacca'.

For those who own hairy puffers its time to show off your little beast. Was wondering how hairy your Tetraodon baileyi was? Pictures please.

This one is NOT mine, but it is from the seller I purchased from and mine is similar.

Can see some 'hair' but just a snapshot of the color tone mine takes with the decor I have.

Piggy's more frilly round the edges than hairy. He's not as hairy as Spuddy was, but he's hairier than the one in the LFS atm.

Piggy is looking good! But his male puffiness is called into question when you call him frilly :lol:
