Since I'm not real big on making animals suffer because of peoples mistakes, if this should happen again I will be happy to ship it to you and you can do what you feel is necessary. Since obviously you know so much more about the situation, even though you were no where around, I will bow to your obviously infinite wisdom and seek your professional advice on every aquatic problem from now on. Thanks for playing.

Besides your sarcasm, killing it is indeed what I would do if I could not house it myself or find someone who can take care of it. That however does not mean suffering...just add a bit of clove oil...

No, it was a southern puffer also common to the area.

Too bad that can't be done with people also. I just don't want it anymore and they say I can't put it on the street because it may have something, what's the best way to euthanize a relative.

Did you pull your relative out of it's natural environment and are responsible for it's well being? You need to calm down and think buddy.

I didn't pull the fish out of it's natural environment either, buddy. And I did think, about callous people who seem to think that everything is disposable when it no longer suits their needs. Where in any of this did you see that it was an aquarium fish, buddy. Where in any of this did you see where it said it was kept with anything to introduce non native diseases, buddy. Obviously comprehension is a little above you, buddy. I'll use small words. Fish come from ocean one day. Put in small bucket. Goes back to ocean next day. Hope that clears up your confusion.
 
The moral of this story is.....she was trying to do the right thing...Always give people the benefit of the doubt :)

Girl comes in store carrying a small bait bucket. Asks if we do saltwater. Tell her no. Says she has a puffer she's trying to get rid of and nobody wants. Her and her friends were at a beach and found it. They caught it and said they were going to eat it. She didn't want that to happen so she takes and starts driving around from store to store trying to find someone to take it. By the time she got to me her desire to save it had worn thin. When I went to look at it, she says tell me it died. I don't feel like looking anymore but I don't want to feel guilty about it. So now I have this puffer at work in a container with an airstone. She didn't have enough water to even cover it so I had to make some, guessing at proper amount. I'll find out shortly if it survived the night. If so I will figure something out with it. I guess for some people doing the right thing is cool as long as it's convenient. No, I don't know what type it is. Will research if it survives and I keep it.
:shakehead they were going to eat a puffer they cought They should of just let it go i assume they don't know that most puffers are Extreamly poisonous
