Question Puffer fish hi def picture anyone?

Hi all-

I am looking for a hi-def picture of a puffer fish (blowed up) to print as a laptop cover for my wife. The cuter the better

Would anyone be kind enough to assist?

Feel free to PM me or e-mail at michael.delune@gmail.com

Take care all!

Michael

Not blown up (I don't do that anymore), but awfully cute:

10 out of 10 on the cuteness factor!!

Would you have the hi-def original available by any chance?

Thanks- Michael

This was scanned from a slide. Not sure what you mean by "hi-def". What kind of resolution/file size do you need?

OMPH!!! So much for "Leave only bubbles, take only pictures" concept. I heard that it's often fatal for a puffer to puff? We saw one semi-deflated last May in Cozumel and it was the saddest looking fish I ever saw.

Don't know if it is a dive guide or you harassing the Puffer....neither is acceptable!

Yes, but it does them no favor. A few don't survive it.
