I know this isn't the greatest shot, but it's by far the best I've managed. What kind of red-eye is this little girl? At least, I think it's a girl. She's a lot rounder than the one I think is the boy.

Or just try comparing your puffer to the pics in our Pufferpedia.

My first guess (!) from the distance is Carinotetraodon borneensis, but might as well be a C. lorteti.
