The Puffer Forum

I assume the puffer didn't make it...

Nope unfortunately looks like the puffer was just ' discarded ' to save the loggerhead ........

Umm lucky turtle!

Probably the puffer was already drowned

? How do u drown a fish?

Breathing air (other words to say not "passing water through their gills")

Certain two facts on this article unequivocally the best we have all had.That puffer fish was over the turtle’s airway making breathing very difficult.Everything in this blog is completely true!Now I'm going to glance up this web site usually on my PC.

That puffer did not want to go down without a fight.. No pun intended lol

I feel bad for the puffer, the only reason the turtle would of died is because the puffer was defending itself... I like turtles and all, but thats how nature is. The smartest and strongest survive, obviously this turtle was not too bright if it decided to eat a puffer... even if it didnt choke from the puffed up puffer, the poison would of killed it.

Any puffer which has been in captivity for a significant time is unlikely to be toxic. Their toxins are consumed from the wild, they do not occur in tanks, so their toxicity declines in captivity. Sharks are one major group which are immune to puffer toxins, they eat them routinely.
