Carinotetraodon lorteti

Post by Mark7616 »

Well while I was in wildwoods buying some fish my little girl was facinated by the little puffer that kept swimming up to the glass, she has never taken to a fish like that beofre and couldnt stop talking about it. Well I got my fish and paid and we went for a Mcdonalds well the subject soon turned to the little puffer well once chips were eaten guess what I was back in wildwoods and she now has her very own aggressive puffer that she has named Pickle not bad for a 2 year old lol.

ROFL.. its a male something small freshwater puffer, that's for sure!

Nice find, those guys can be tough to get your hands on. Beautiful fish! If you haven't already read about them, don't try to put any tankmates in there.. they are pretty dang aggressive.

That's definitely a male lorteti.

Here's some pics of my little guy (don't look at all the algae. I came home from vacation last night :wink: ):
