Ohhh... my mistake. I still say it looks like Freddy though.

Yep, that looks like a porkie puffer to me too. It's a marine fish, some species get huge and it may, or may not be called 'Freddy'.

the are about a foot and a half long.



definitly a Porcupine Fish

I love porcupine fish. Their faces give them so much personality.

Definetely a Porcupine puffer. However, there are different species of Porcupine puffers, and I'm sorry in advance as I do not know the different names. I do know that one species grows beyond 1 and a half feet, while the other seems to stay much smaller.

Definately a porkie ( ), but I thought it was George...

Porcupines are what first got me interested in puffers. Our lfs had a beautiful one and he would always come up to the front of his tank and look so happy to see people. And they really do look like they're smiling too.
