I have been trying to scope out craigslist and FreeCycle for anything I can use for props, but until yesterday I've found nothing (well, one or two things that got scooped before I got to them).
SO day before someone posts on FreeCycle "kind of a weird item, but I have a Puffer fish that has been set up in the puffed position"
He's MINE and we named him Fugu. He is at least as big as a grapefruit.
I'm going to find a bell jar and mount him and then put a faded antique label on it with it's latin names. It's perfect for odd decor for a party!

She said it had been in her closet for over 20 years.
I may leave him out all year if I find the right display case/jar, so he's found a good home at least!

I have no idea what a puffer fish is and I've never seen anything like that before but it sure is gross.
I assume its dead?
you should put some kind of buzzer/vibrator thing in the jar with him and give him a bit of movement right at the moment when someone is trying to get a closer look lol
Kind of along the lines of Terra's possessed xmas tree

You could put a light bulb in him and make a funky hanging lamp. It should have a nice glow to it. Then maybe add some red LED's to the eyes.
I remember catching one of these off a pier in Flordia. When I unhooked him, he puffed up to the size of a basketball. I thought cool, I'm going to throw him back and watch him float on the surface...... right, he hit the water and instantly deflated and swam away!

I wouldn't be able to resist putting him in the apple bobbing tub...
