Default Who has BIG puffers?

I'm just curious to how many members have large puffers. Fahakas, mbu, porcupine, takifugu, dogface, or any other big puffers.

I have an arrowhead. Not really too big as far as puffers go, but still a fascinating fish.

I had an mbu for quite few years, my favorite all-time fish. The largest puffer I keep currently is a Palembang's puffer. a cool fish, but far from an mbu. I have also had 3 fahakas, the nastiest fish I have ever kept. the alpha male was the only fish I have kept of which I was physically afraid - that fish was psychotic.

Personally I think all puffers are fascinating. So much personality in such a relatively small fish.

I'm not too afraid of my fahaka yet, however I probably will be once he gets bigger. I was bit at work by a porcupine puffer that was around 12" long. I was attempting to grab a magfloat, and he grabbed me.
