My New Giant Spotted Puffer Pictures
Just a few pictures of my new puffer, which I believe to be a Tetraodon Sabahensis - correct me if I'm wrong! He/she doesn't have a name yet...

Re: My New Giant Spotted Puffer Pictures
Nice pics, i´ve always believed that these kind of pictures are T. Sabahensis, i know we could say that this is gust a gsp with physical and color variations, but spott patern and body shape are very different from what we know as the traditional adult GSP.
Let there be light, and lit up the days... Let there be puffers, and they swam around the world...

Re: My New Giant Spotted Puffer Pictures
I used to have the same thinking as RVS as well. This variant do look very much different from the more common type with the black rounder spots. But this forum keeps brainwashing me that giant spotted puffer had not been in the trade for as long as one remember.. And, this type has been mixed with the normal GSP very very often in my LFSs.

I think he might be a little confused after his rescue still. He became much brighter and interactive when I fed him last night.Arny wrote:Looks like mine, although it's quite a bit darker
May I ask what salinity you're keeping yours in?

Re: My New Giant Spotted Puffer Pictures
Almost looks like a cross between a gsp and a Ceylon lol
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Too late, I'm already in love with him!
Found this on here;

Could just be me, but I think they share a lot of similarities?

Re: My New Giant Spotted Puffer Pictures

Re: My New Giant Spotted Puffer Pictures
I do believe it is a saba scpion, indeed, I dont see why sabas should be as rare to find as congo puffer, but thats may personal thought...
