Apparently domestic pufferfish aren't poisonous , so you can eat the little chap without any problems

wasnt planning on eating him! and i had actually heard otherwise...
I think that, in a tank, would be best.
Have you kept fish before? I had a saltwater tank for a couple of years - ended up spending more time on it than on life itself - beautiful to look at, but friggin hard work!

yes mate we have, we actually have 5 tanks in the house at the moment and have upgraded one to a 350 l tank so he will be going in there, when you say saltwater do you mean marine fish or a brackish water tank?
nope but read the comments at the bottom where other people have posted comments - interesting re water conditions....a bit finicky!!
Marine - I used to dive, catch take home and tank for a few weeks then return to the water....blue ring octopus was my greatest catch - stunning creature I took him back after a few days - wasn't fair, a load of grouper, clown fish etc... coral and all sorts....
I did see a few but I could only go after something that doesn't mind being caught within the time it takes to use up the capacity of my lungs!!
the stone fish where I was are quite darty and quick!
Robot Chicken
Seriously?

Definately! On an infants school trip once a friend trod on one (wihtout shoes) her foot was about three times as big by the time the teacher carried her back to the Life savers station and she spent a week in hospital!! I remember that very well!!
