The Puffer Forum

That's a thought....in any case, I will first check with the LFS on how long they have had the fish, which would indicate whether it has settled down / acclimatized to a freshwater setting for a start...

Think I will have to KIV this for now, as if don't have a saltwater setup... :( Was just reading up that a variant of the Chelnodon was found in fresh water habitat in India, which could be where they found this chap....In any case, hope it can survive its freshwater tank in the LFS...I hope to spea...

Thanks...That kinda confirms it...Looks like it is a saltwater variant then...

Yup. So I was wondering if anyone could help ID whether it be a freshwater / brackish / saltwater type...

I do know it is being kept in freshwater for now...

I am keen to purchase it, just that I would like to make sure I know its correct ID and it is truly a freshwater puffer....

Saw this 4" / 5" puffer at my local fish shop. Was told it is a freshwater puffer. But need help with its ID.

Any help would be much appreciated...
