Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach him how to fish and you get rid of him all weekend.

He will be stressed out when you get him, weez is right, QT him first, and let him get used to the general surroundings.

Re: how do you catch a puffer fish?
I have used a large bowl instead of a net, because it always seems as tho they tend to blow up when you stress them out, and getting them out of a net is a PITA.
