Thanks for the welcome...I had a lot of puffers and enjoyed every minute with them. I had the mbu , fahaka and oblongus tame enough to hand feed from me. The care they took not to bite the hand that fed them was intereasting.

Shame some of the smaller puffs though I was just another part of lunch.

At the height of my/our puffer keeping i had ITRO 20 tanks...from a 6x2x2 ( 200 imp gal/1000 l) down to a 12 inch cube. my fave was a 4ftx 2 ft x18 inch which I had brachish puffs ( F8 and GSps) archer fish and some mud-skippers..along with at various times gobies and scats..we used to catch flies to give the archers some practice

Welcome to the forum, I'm quite glad that Lfs near me rarely get puffers as I am trying to wind down on tanks lol
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Welcome :)
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
