Not sure about this info in particular, but Facebook isn't exactly a great resource for "facts". I learned my lesson the hard way. :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

The best person to ask would be our very own puffer lover, @AydenLincoln!

Indeed. Hence me consulting the brainy people on this forum. Plus, I thought it might give one or two a chuckle.

Mission accomplished on my end! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Alright, we need someone on here to run an experimental tank that contains both a dolphin and a puffer fish and see how they interact with each other.

Good idea. And then a few tests on the dolphin to see if he's under the influence of puffer juice.

Mesmerised by their own reflections, eh? Kinda takes me back to 1973...

I believe it. There are other animals in the animal kingdom that have been proven to enjoy getting intoxicated off of natural substances. google it, its fascinating.

lots of amazing alkaloids in the creation to help out the disbelieving that wander alone.

All of creation speaks of our creator, and He awakens the dead to see life.

Hewbie better stay out of the ocean before he becomes a dolphin beach ball!

That is his purpose.

That is his purpose.

Did you mean that is his porpoise. ?

Chicken, or egg? I don’t know but the Japanese eat eggs and Fugu, the latter is supposed to be a trip like the dolphins drop.

You get your house in order before a fugu dinner. :smiling-face-with-halo: :cool:

I agree! Hewbie is very happy in my care and gave up the ocean life long ago!

I have a deep conviction that Hewbie was traumatized by dolphins when he was a baby puffer living in the wild. It helps explain how he carries on now. Those wrasses look a lot like dolphins when they’re zipping around in a tank.
