Well, since I have been around my little brother Cameron (he’s addicted to fish) I’ve started to take a liking to fish and aquariums. But I don’t like normal, boring, mellow fish. I like FEROCIOUS ONES! Ones that will tear the throat out of their victims in a few split seconds 
That’s why I got these cute little guys 
They look deadly don’t they?

Don’t let these cute little killers deceive you! They actually are quite vicious. They are fresh water Green Spotted Puffers and they are carnivores. Almost like little piranha’s, they will eat basically anything that enters their tank except each other.
When I was first looking for fish at the pet store, I was admiring the cute little puffers and the store employee asked if I wanted to watch him feed them. I was like “Sure…but I don’t think watching them eat fish flakes will be too exciting”. He went over the the goldfish tank, pulled one out, and dropped it into the puffer tank. Instantly the puffers formed into a pack and began chasing the goldfish around, taking bits out of it’s fins so it wouldn’t be able to swim away. Once they disabled the goldfish from swimming they chomped out it’s eyes, then its belly and innards…until it’s empty carcass fell to the bottom of the tank! It only took them a matter of seconds! I was amazed – and in love So now I have 3 little Green Spotted Puffers of my very own. Their names are: Mr. Peebles, Spud, and Brutis. I will try to put up a video clip of them eating a live fish a little later…

Ah, that’s the Devan I remember.
ewwwwwwwww!!!!!! There is NO way I could watch that. Ick! I’ll let Alan tell me about it while I plug my ears:)
I have a cool story. Caught a puffer fish inside the waikiki rock jetties in May…with my surfboard! Just pushed my board under water then moved it underneath the fish, then let the board come up to the surface. The fish puffed up into a spikey ball right on the board! I think it was poisonous so I brought it out past the jetty and released it in deeper water.
Good luck in your last few weeks Lynn! And good luck Devan…hehe.
yay for carniverous fishies! hey, you should pull one out of the tank, get it to puff up, then play badminton with it. its little fins would create the perfect drag like the feathers on a shuttlecock. yes!
Wow! That is crazy… I don’t know if I could watch their little feeding frenzy, but they look pretty cool. Weird how they look so harmless! I can’t believe how close you guys are to having that little girl here! You’ll do great. We’re loving our baby boy. Benson’s just 2 weeks old now. Call us if you need anything or have any questions.
