BLUE!!! Puffers....

[Pufferpunk]

Do you have some more recent pics? I remember discussing this puffer with Kelly Jedlicki (Puffer Queen) & she had agreed it was dyed. There are no blue diodons.

a fish dipped in acid so a dye can penetrate it's skin & then dipped in acid again, to irritate it's slimecoat so the dye stays in. Injecting dye or paint into fish causes severe pathological changes. This results in progressive degeneration of body tissues in the fish . Most of those fish don't live very long. Just long enough to sell for big $$$ as a novelty.

that was the part

cause if that was natural... i'd pay for it

Nope brought it in and sold it to Absolutely Fish which since sold it to one of there customers. It was a small fish like 2 1/2 - 3". I was told though once it hit 5" it started to lose it's blue. Though i haven't seen it i have seen other fish do so just like the chevron tang.

In case you are wondering i have been importing SW fish for the last 15 years and i do not deal with anything but net WC and CB. Everything else is a no no. I have only ever gotten 2 of these.
