That's my thought, too.

Indeed it does look very similar to the puffer featured in the pics of this particular thread - viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11947

The Red on the caudal fin seems gone.

Thank you once again!

Are the pectoral fins reddish, too? I will d...

Probably M. cochinchinensis (maybe M. leiurus), both freshwater species, but need better pictures to be sure... a clear side shot if possible. Thank you very much for the infos. :) The container is actually made of plastic and is circular in shape, which explains why the pics are kinda blurry. :(

Thank you very much for you prompt reply.

May I know if there's anything I can do to save it?
