I know many people would love to have puffers and cannot for obvious reasons... so I thought it would be fun to share mine.

I tend to agree with Snaz's observation on this and I don't know how long puffers live in the wild or the aquarium. I guess I will see what happens with my guy. I am very proud of him and how far we have come since he came home with me.

I do think all puffers do puff up and perhaps since they are night fish we don't typically see it happen.

Hey so then you know how I felt when you persisted in my copperband thread :mrgreen: after I asked to please stay on the subject I hoped to stay on. That didn't last though as you and one other wanted to make it a cyanide/bacteria.ect. debate.

I think you said (paraphrased) that I had no say in what was discussed because your opinion was contrary to mine and you had every right to post your opinion. Along those lines anyways. Something about how I was hiding from the truth...I will look it up if you like. But you may remember better than I.

I agree, you did. Just as I gave facts about puffers here. It wasn't even an opinion in this case. My first post was NOT personal and actually not even directed at you. Someone gave false info and I stated a few facts. That was it. If the 'hes just stretching' comment was never made, then I would not have said anything more than nice photos. Actually I wouldn't have posted. Then after that my credibility was questioned and thats fair enough but my thread was from a year and a half ago before I knew any better. Although that calling out (not by you) made it personal.

I sent you a PM about that. It has to work both ways man.

Anyways, I won't say another word here. People can do their own research about why these wonderful creatures use their defense mechanisms and how it effects them long term.

Holy Cow!!!
 
I go for a hike and come back to a war zone:sad:

Today Griffie came for a belly rub which he hardly ever does these days. When I gave him one he started upchucking something... was fine... came for a bely rub, and started upchucking...

Went to his cave puffed up, came back out and upchucked a snail... or what was left of the shell he did not crush when he ate it...

It has happened before and will happen again. They are known to eat things like this and I guess he did not crush it enough this time or the times before it.

Griffie will be just fine... now can we all get along?

WOW, Diana that is cool to see I had a Koran Angel what would swim upside down to look for food, not like yours that would puff and a lavender tang that would let me scratch his head along with my foxface that would eat out of my hand...

its a shame that threads like this go for a mess. people just want to post on what happens, it happened with myself, about my thoughts about certain things that happened with my overseas pay. I guess its hard to express your self on these boards. and they always get into a flame war.....

any ways, I think that is what PM's are for to express your self speak what you want to say in good taste..

keep the pics coming, I always thought that puffers puffed for something to do... oh well

I am so glad to see you here!!! I thought you were banned...

What is really funny about all of this is the busted up snail managed to dig himself into the sand after Griffie bounced it off of the glass in the direction on my concerned face... I can still hear the sound of the shell bouncing off the glass.

I just saw him try pull a larger snail off my rockwall just now... he never learns:wink::wink:

The most I can hope for at this point is that he will always be able to upchuck escargot...
