Chelonodon patoca
hello Puffer Forum and the administrators of The PufferPedia.
I think it is about time that Chelonodon patoca (a.k.a. "Milk Spotted Puffer") get included in The PufferPedia. me and my better half bought this fish here in Norway just before christmas. we bought it as a freshwater fish, big mistake, as it turned out that this is a brackish fish. lucky for us, twb, a puffer-man, lives in our region, so he is helping us out by keeping our two Chelonodon patoca with his CPs in a brackish tank. so we had to buy another aquarium - and it's currently cycling as we are waiting to get our two babys home.
this is a very beautiful, social and interesting puffer, so please put it in The PufferPedia
images, taken by me (posted on a norwegian forum), feel free to use them (and more will come when they are back in my house:

Re: Chelonodon patoca
Good to see more Norwegians in here. Then we are at least 5. I saw your pics and videos at Akvaforum - nice puffers you have there! You find me as Dyrehagen at AF.

Re: Chelonodon patoca
I really don't know much about this fish, which is why I wonder if someone who knows would care to put the relevant information into The PufferPedia.pufferfreak wrote:i can see the pic. its a beautiful puffer. minimum tank size?

Re: Chelonodon patoca
There has been very little info posted up that could be used as relevance. You probably have learned more useful tips by keeping them than what has been posted. Tank size can be guestimated on full size of fish. Aggression to conspecifics in aquaria, what SG and temp has worked is really more a practical experience on the keepers part. SO the info you have is probably is as good as any already on here.
