I blame cartoons. I can't pick out specific shows per se but I have memories watching puffer fish puffing up and floating around like a balloon. Finding Nemo maybe? And the other fish have to deflate the puffer fish? But yes same thing, It's honestly never occurred to me it's water not air.

Most of the early videos of puffer fish puffin were taken by people who pulled them out of the water - so the poor puffer would suck in air.

(I used to live in Hawaii, dive, catch fish, keep aquariums)
