ok so today i was snorkling in my step dads reef tank and i got bit by his puffer! it took an almost perfectly simetrical circle out of my leg. Are puffers poisonis??i heard they are? what should i do, hospital or no?
 
You were snorkelling, in a reef tank?

I take it it wasn't a nano.

What kind of puffer was it?

Do you have any pictures of the tank!?
 
he actually took his old pool and turned it into reef, put a huge canvas over it and brought in alot of rock and what not. he is rather wealthy because he is the head directions officer of a company called gencorp that produces defensive missles for the us government.
 
umm, i dont think puffers are poisionus. You might want to get that wound healed up though.

Also, just go to the hospital in case, im sure you could catch a ride on a some of the missiles your dad makes!
 
dude that sooooo cool

sometimes i stick my head in my nano cube and call it snorkeling
but that must be so much cooler

i would go to the hospital fast!!!!!!!
do u want me to take u???
i live in new jersey
 
sorry but seeing as i was snorkling in march it would lead you to belive im not form NJ, rather Southern Arizona, maybe you could fly?

this si the only pic i have of it right now and this is when it was just being filled about a year ago:

I think that your main worried about your leg should be about bacterial infection, but that aside, your dad's aquarium is huge! :p
 
*takes pinch of salt*

Puffer bites are not poisonous, it's the puffer flesh that'll kill you if you it it.
 
That's funny......how did you get out of the tank? I don't see a ladder.

You might want to get tested for radiation as that SURE looks like a spent rod storage facility to me.
 
that was when the tank wasnt filled up full yet so water level is much higher now and water is cleaer
 
(im from) Southern Arizona
Your IP address says that you're in Ohio...

and that photo is actually from a website of aquatic research lab based in a University in Nova Scotia

If you're going to fib, at least make it believeable and don't get the picture from Google Image Search!
