Ya i know, my puffer would puff up when my maroon clown would chase it, i always wanted to get a picture. Id love to see a huge dogface puffer all puffed up!

There's some videos on YouTube of puffed puffers. Just do a search, I think they're adorable when they get fat ^_^.

my lfs got one in that was at least 10inches long. when he opened the box he was puffed up and looked like a basketball. This was the biggest porcupine puffer i'd ever seen.

I caught one in my cast net that was big but not that big. They always puff up on the deck of my boat when I'm trying to pick them up to return them. The look funny when they'r puffed up with air and swim across the top of the water until they deflate and return below.

My wife caught one when fishing in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Sanibel Island. The charter guy got it off of the line, it puffed up, and he hit it back into the water like a volleyball (not a porcupine)
