is this a genuine tetradon pustulatus/cross river puffer
Howdy!
one of my fave LFS have got a cross river puffer in!! I know these are often confused with spotted fahakas. What do you guys think??
They're currently asking for £1000!! I am a regular there so they may just let is go a little cheaper
Thanks

Looks good. Think this probably is one. Also try a forum search for this species. Lots of discussion in the past.

Re: is this a genuine tetradon pustulatus/cross river puffer
Oh wow that definitely looks like a true T. Pustulatus to me. I say go for it, probably the rarest species of freshwater puffer there is aside from the ones like P. Barbatus that people aren't that interested in.

Re: is this a genuine tetradon pustulatus/cross river puffer
I am very tempted, but need to figure out exactly where to house it!!
I have a 3 footer that is immediately available, but don't currently have any spare 5/6 footers without moving around a few different tanks.
would 3x1.5 ft do temporarily?

Re: is this a genuine tetradon pustulatus/cross river puffer
Temporarily, yes. However, you will need pretty soon need a tank with a MINIMUM footprint 6' x 2', like a standard 125.

Re: is this a genuine tetradon pustulatus/cross river puffer
I've made a very brave decision - closing down two of of my 3 footers to make room for a new 6 footer for the pustulatus!! I'll keep you up to date
