X24;943971; said:thats where you are wrong, thousands and thousands have been put into trying to keep them in captivity. ever hear of the japanese food fugu? thats what is made out of certain takifugu puffers. it sells very good, and likewise many many people have tried to find a way to keep these captive (not just fish keepers but those looking for big money for resturuants and the like) , but none have succeeded. It is an impossible to keep fish in captivity.
And I say Bullpatty...Nothing is impossible to keep..I know what a damn Fugu is and I do not for one second think it is not capable of being kept..I have little knowledge of this fish but this sounds like a load of crap..Any fish with correct procedure and protocol can be maintained..
