[GSAS-Member] Puffers, bigger tank in my future...



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?
