    Anyone in So Cal want to adopt a porcupine puffer that is about 6-7" long? Great peronality, like long walks in the tank...lol

    My wife will kill me if she knew I was writing this beacuase she loves him, but I want to get the reef going at some point so I think puffer has to go. Sounds dumb, but he is like a pet, you can even pet him. Needs a bigger tank than I have.

    O there is a pic on the site, looks nice. Ill see what he thinks.

    Would go to a good home, shaky start but now the tanks really look nice, and they r all at least 1 year old.

    I was wondering how long that would last before you went with a reef tank. See you are an addict just like the rest of us...hahaha
    As another person quoted which made me chuckle"WARNING; Driver carries no money...I have a REEF tank!!!!!!!!
    Best of luck and you wont regret your decision to convert to a reef.
    Just get your wife some flowers, or a coffee mug with a picture of a Porcupine Puffer on it, or tee shirt. That should suffice...no?

    Wow That is a wonderful fish they are one of the most interesting fish to watch, especially when they are that size ad aren't so scared of things. Have you seen it puff up? Its so funny.
