I guess im an eye guy, as i find the eyes of puffers to be by far the best looking and most inquisitive compared to the seemingly vacant stare most fish give. They learn to spit water for treats quickly! I cant wait to see the adult colors in my angel. They actually used to think juvenile imperators (and a few others in the genus pomacanthus) and adults were different species due to the crazy contrast between juv. and adult colors. | |
