Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	This little guy/girl is ~1.5" long, seems rather peaceful, and I was told by the lfs it's a brackish puffer. It was labelled a green spotted puffer but I'm not sure that's correct. Any ideas? [/font] Last edited by Theresa_M at 01-Mar-2005 07:56[/font] ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
