I thought people might like it! Puffers really can be like puppies sometimes. He gets SO fussy if you ignore him when your near the tank. Its almost impossible to take pictures of other fish too because as soon as you hold a camera up to the glass, hes there in front of it. Its amazing how smart they seem to be.

Yeah Im not sure how many fish will allow you to "hold" them! I mean Im not squeezing or anything, I guess more like "cupping" him but Im still amazed that he lets me. Still can't beleive he got angry enough with me to puff though.

My Reticulated Puffer will allow me to hold him and even pick him up and move him into another tank. He is getting fairly big though so you have to watch your fingers when you feed him. I have been nipped a few times but I haven't actually been bit hard. He is a great fish with lots of personality. He hangs out at the top of the tank when I walk by hoping to get fed and will occasionally spit water out of the tank.
