I've seen a large one at pet store, it was very cool, with iridescent blue
in its eyes. I would keep it if I was you!

Subject: [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?
