Cute

I hope he is ok though.

Nice pic! Too bad they rarely survive if they intake air to puff themselves up... Where's the pic from? (Not Egypt... web site? personal photo?)

T. Lineatus a.k.a. lined or Nile puffer. My pics are published in The Encyclopedia of Exotic Tropical Fishes for freshwater regarding this fish as well.

I used to have one of those, he was smarter than most dogs. Great pet.

Wow that sucks it's all stressed out like that. Kinda like taking a goldfish out of the water and trying to see how long it will last without water and sticking it back in.

Bummer

Poor guy, shouldn't be made to do that out of the water.
