I'll have to show him those pictures so he can see what they look like.. |

Jason_R_S  Moderator Posts: 2811 Kudos: 2421 Votes: 391 Registered: 18-Apr-2001  | How do you make a puffer puff? Puffers puff when they're scared, stressed or defending a territory. Keep in mind that this is extremely stressful for the fish and can, or so I have heard, lead to death if the situation is not corrected quickly. Jason |
