What Are These Puffers?!

Post by popper_luv »

Okay, so after an unfortunate accident, I now have an empty tank.
Which means, omg, I can has puffers! Er. A Puffer.

I've decided either a Fangs or Common/Emerald puffer would be my best choice.
So I'm looking at the site my pet store gets their fish from.
And holy cow, not only am I not finding the ones I want, but I'm seeing alot more than I do here.

I mean, they have "TETRAODON COCHINCHENSIS", which I believe is the Fangs (just here, its called monotrete cochinchensis). And they have it in there under two seperate names @.@

Anyway.
I'd be much obliged if someone would so kindy pick out likely canidates for me:
Freshwater, 29 gallon tall.
I'm looking for something a bit bigger than 2", and doesn't lay at the bottom all day:

I apologize, but I can't get a general "puffers" page. There's a couple near the top, then the rest are down according to ABC order (as in, p- for puffer)

I think the "avacado" aka golden would work for you. The saps and dwarfs as well but that doesn't fit the length you would like.

the milk spotted doesn't come up when i google it and the red eye doesn't either. So maybe someone else can help with those.

milk spotted puffers are in the pufferpedia i thought, chelonodon patoca, i was sure i saw them there before, and i've seen about 9 different species of puffer referred to as the "red eye" puffer, i bought my palembang as a red eye puffer

P.S. I use dogpile instead of google, dogpile is the search engine that searches all the other search engines like google, yahoo, ask jeeves, etc.. and puts them into one, milk spotted puffer on dogpile came up with a ton of info. not the best info but info regardless
