Just out of curiosity, was this Question so that he went to an experienced Puffer keeper, or so that one person didn't hog all of the puffer-ness? :grin2:

I was just grasping at something to be fair but I decided all of you were going to be good candidates, so the only fair thing was to give it to the next person in line.

I want to warn you guys, the fellow that just shipped out Devlin said it is costing $85 for overnight shipping. This might narrow down the prospects of this fish. Do you all still want it? It was selling for $150, so in essence, you're only paying around $85 for it (depending on where it's shipped). Devlin was shipped Priority Overnight to CA, so if it was closer, we might be able to ship it cheaper.

They're pretty sensitive, so shipping is rough on them - they need a big bag, preferably pretreated with an ammonia detoxifier and possibly something to increase the O2 in the water.

CP, He's eating live crayfish & snails so you're going to have to get him on dead foods.
