Description

Ever popular at tiki bars, these are real puffer fish, also known as porcupine fish due to their long quills, that have been made into a table top night light. Spine lengths vary but some of them have spines over an inch long. Others have shorter spines but fatter bodies. The fish sit on the table with the cord hanging out the back. Their skin is covered with dark brown blotches which are its natural coloring. Translucent gossamer fins stick out to the side like ears. They have been puffed out, dried, and a protective coating applied to the skin. Silly acrylic google eyes have been afixed where the real eyes once were. Photos are stock photos, you will not receive this exact fish but one similar. Each fish has the same basic look but varies in the shape it has been dried and may have holes in areas, especially by the gill slits and under the tail, sometimes other places. There are no perfect fish, each one is unique with various bulges and holes, but all are sturdy and solid.

A pendant lamp light fixture has been inserted directly inside the back underneath of the animal. The light has a 6 foot silver cord with inline rotary on/off switch and takes easy to find standard nightlight candelabra bulbs. The light assembly is clipped into the back of the fish and can be easily removed by pinching the clips to allow replacement of bulbs.
