South American Puffer ID

Post by nc2014 »

So I was at the pet store and found three puffers I want to get. From everything I have read there are supposed to have black stripes with a white belly. however, there were two in the bunch that were about 2 inches long larger than the regular looking one. They were all white not black on them. I wanted to know if this is correct. Are the sick or is this a normal change in them. I will try and post a picture of them if I get a chance. I do not want to spend lots of money for them and then have to deal with issues that crop up with these guys. Thanks!!

Yeah, a pic would help. You don't want to wind up with a tank full of fahakas or something!
