I need your advice for the age old question.

My LFS has a cute 2.5 inch dogface puffer, but my wife wants a porcupine.

What do you guys think? Pros and Cons.

Get both :)

(If you've got a huge tank that is)

Porcs are my favorite, so I have to recomend porcs.
Maybe you should make this a poll?

LOL personally I think a dogface is MUCH cuter than a porc, I've never really seen the appeal of porcs. But to each their own.

And yes, I'd agree, if the wife is letting you have a fish tank, and a very large, saltwater puffer, and all she's putting a limit on is the species.. porc! ROFL

Hahaha! Oh, I know. But, next time you have this type of advice please PM me. If my wife reads this I'll have no rights ;)

Yes, I guess I should just count my blessings. She kind of got mad at me when I wanted to buy a 55g last year, and now she bought me one that is three times the size.

Porc it is!
