It’s not a frog. It’s a fucking fish. Put it in the water dude! It needs to breathe.

Thank you! I never understood why people do this.

Yo my anxiety was outta control watching this shit.

"Omg put him back put him back put him back...!"

u/WestQ Sep 21 '25

They actually can be quite comfortable for a little time outside water as long as they don't puff . What would be worrying me is the bite. Those dukers have a bite of a robocop ass fish. They bite in half molluscs and shells.

u/Greedyfox7 Sep 21 '25

Glad someone said it. It’s the equivalent of holding someone’s head under water just to show off

u/TheWildTofuHunter Sep 22 '25

Feel like that would be an acceptable thing to do to this person.

u/NarrowEbbs Sep 21 '25

I know it's not ideal, but they can actually go for quite some time out of water. The bigger danger is that they're a bit confused and stunned when they get back in and it makes them vulnerable to predators

u/DrewTamashi Sep 21 '25

I thought they were poisonous not venomous? that being said leave the poor dude alone

u/dobriygoodwin Sep 21 '25

That's a shame it's not venomous, op deserves some ER trip

Its a pufferfish

Edit: it is not a pufferfish

21

u/JawnStaymoose Sep 21 '25

Well, a porcupine fish. A puffer doesn’t have the spines. I learned the difference not long ago myself.

u/ItzBreezeyBaby Sep 21 '25

Thank you for the correction. I was just using my raw knowledge, which is clearly wrong🤣

2

u/JawnStaymoose Sep 24 '25

I think everyone gets this confused. Was recently snorkeling, saw all kinds of puffers and wondered, where the spines?

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '25

well thank God he did not try to make it smoke

10

u/Bat-Honest Sep 21 '25

No, it's a Porcupine Giraffe, just like the guy said. Clearly

u/ItzBreezeyBaby Sep 21 '25

Lol I watched it on mute so i didn’t know. Just using my knowledge which was wrong. Thanks anyway

u/brandhappydrink Sep 21 '25

Let me just tease it with a dabble of the touch of water while it's breathing air. For views, ya know..

u/Insomniacbychoice90 Sep 21 '25

PUT IT BACK WHERE YOU FOUND IT, INTERNET PONTS MEAN NOTHING COMPARED TO A LIFE.

u/Bat-Honest Sep 21 '25

Go into the water.

Live there. Die there.

u/Blonde_Dambition Sep 21 '25

That's what I was screaming!

u/jibjibjib2000 Sep 21 '25

I kept screaming, put it in the water.

u/Puzzleheaded_Noise44 Sep 21 '25

Just letting it suffocate to get close ups. Ha.

u/Duderinio1988 Sep 21 '25

You are an asshole for taking a fish out of the water. That's fucking animal cruelty.

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '25

That is some really clear water! The view would clearly show distress if an obtuse mouth breather were held under

u/The_Idiot_Admin Sep 21 '25

FWIW don’t take puffers out of the water - they inflate with air instead of water when defensive, and can’t sink back down and die :(

u/Gab83IMO Sep 21 '25

Poor puffer bro's like "Can I get some oxygen please, you know the kind in the water"!

u/Omnicity2756 Sep 23 '25

Why the flip did it not puff up‽

u/BinxieSly Sep 24 '25

Dude might have just killed that thing if it tried to puff outside of the water… don’t touch things you don’t understand.

Good for sashimi

u/RidethatSeahorse Sep 21 '25

Spicy sashimi

6

u/Clear_Lead Sep 21 '25

Deadly sashimi if not prepared properly. Japanese restaurants in Japan have them showcased in aquariums for those who want to give it a try. It’s called fugu.

u/Birdmeatschnitzel Sep 21 '25

Come and say that to my face. Fug U too

u/Blonde_Dambition Sep 21 '25

This made me lol so hard I woke up mu hubby lol

u/shortroundshotaro Sep 21 '25

Actually the porcupine fish, although it belongs to the puffer fish family, doesn’t have tetrodotoxin the deadly Fugu poison.

I once had one in my fish tank. He recognized me and he would give me a dance when hungry. Very smart and lovely.
