I adopted Shango's dwarf puffers last week. They are great. But one of them...
I thought he looked different. He sure as heck was meaner than the rest.
More striped than spotted... different color too. I was suspicious that he
wasn't a DP.
I got ID help from the dwarfpuffer.com forums. It looks like one of my DPs is
actually a young Fahaka puffer, AKA Nile puffer (Tetraodon fahaka). They
get to be a foot long and are mean as spit. (!)
Here's the forum thread, my pics and a link to a video of a Fahaka eating a
crayfish.

How can something so cute be so mean? :) Where am I going to put a 125 gal
tank, and how long do I have to figure that out?
