Robert T. Ricketts is a puffer keeper I deeply respect! His articles are a great source of correct information about puffers...something you won't always find on this mysterious fish!

I read somewhere that he has been keeping puffers for over 40 years. It might be in the article. His oldest figure 8 was also 18 years old! I hear they call u the puffer priestress.  |

Yup, RTR has been keeping puffers for over 40 years and has had personal experience with most species. I correspond quite often with he and Jeni (PufferPunk) but I hadn't realized I had a reputation. Yes, they do call me the 'Puffer Priestess" over at aqua-addiction.com where I'm the moderator of their puffer forum. |
