Yellow-tail Puffer

Post by yunachin »

Has anyone ever heard of a "yellow-tail puffer"? We just ordered one from the Pet Supplier and I am wondering what puffer it is. It hasn't gotten here yet so no pics....

Yeah, that would narrow it down some.

I found out that the African Yellow Tail Puffer is the Fahaka Puffer. Thank goodness for latin names. Thank you for the help everyone.

Yes sir. I have been planning this for about 4 months now. He came in today but I have pneumonia so I am banned to my sofa... :(
I am excited for him to come home so I can take lots of pictures and spoil him,

You got that right, I hope you don't get an Mbu instead, they have a lovely yellow tail too :?

Sorry to hear you are poorly, hopefully the new puff will make you smile and help you recover :P

Thank you very much. :D
I hope that he isn't a mbu as well. Not that I wouldn't love to have one but, I definitely do not have a tank big enough for one. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
