If he's the width of your tank I'd give him to them. Sorry it must be such a hard decision to give him away. Will you be able to go and visit him? You could get a fahaka to replace him.

Just for info. The Aquarium is rather large. Honestly I am pretty happy they are willing to adopt him. Yes, I am able to visit him.. It just a matter of whether I can find him in there..

IDK.. I will probably skip largish fish for the time being.

OMG! That aquarium is AMAZING! Scpion, can you write to the aquarium to see if they will adopt ME?

Lol..

That place is kinda nice, many amazing stuffs. I think it's one of the largest in the world. So I am kind of surprised that they replied and agree to take him in. The only part I dun like is that they have a touch pool where u can fondle some kind of shark and some marine Puffers. And the manta rays are AMAZING! they have a tank full of them.

Looks like a great 'retirement' place for your puffer. I would see if they would give you a lifetime pass so you can continue to visit. Make sure to take tons of pictures before you let him go.

Ha.. I highly doubt so.. But I did requested for a free trip for my family though.

You know what is best for him, go with that and don't look back

I know that going to open people up to try to make them puff (and im right there with you not a fan) but im assuming you would have to sign a waiver and wear kevlar gloves. If not I would expect people leaving with some fingers missing.

There's a place in you in heaven for giving up your wet friend to a bigger, better home. I'm sure he'll be there waiting to greet & thank you for it, too!

So... It's really happening. They are coming tmr to collect Birdy..

Happy for Birdy, sad for you.

Well... hes gone now.. On the bring side, I still can visit him anytime during his QT.

Last pic of him with me.. as u can see he is too large for me and my tank.. Him in the holding tank to the truck.. Even at this moment I am still hesitating... I had to shutdown my sump.. all the plants will be in my DT for the time being till I know or decided what to do.. So this have to do for now..

+1. I had to give up a GSP that I was attached to when I first joined the Pufferforum, So I kinda know how you feel. It sucks having to give him up, but your giving him a chance at a better life, so you won't regret it.

I gave up my 2 GSPs when their 55 became too small for them. I was sad they got separated.
