The Puffer Forum

Saw these today - they reminded me of pea puffs but had the distinctive yellow orange lines on their bellies. All the shop could tell me was their name began with the letter S....

They had a fair few puffs in but bar the standard pea puffs and these guys the rest were sadly poorly.

I can only see your 1st image but looks like a DP to me.

On that linkie if scroll there are lots of images (sorry I am so rubbish at uploading).

They are similar to pea puffs but less vivid mottle markings and bright orange stripes on their bellies which hadn't seen before?

Honestly I would guess that they are Carinotetraodon Imitator, a species discovered in the 1990's that is very similar to the common dwarf puffer (C. Travancoricus)

Your uploads are fine, just don't ust the IMG brackets when posting a complete link, like I did below:

How can you tell the difference between these two then?

They have more orange on their bellies and more faded dots.
