What's the difference Monotrete suvattii Tetraodon suvattii

Post by puffertt77 »

Hello

What's the difference between the Monotrete suvattii and Tetraodon suvattii?

The photo's in Pufferpedia are all together, are they the same puffer?

The reason I ask is because I was reading that the Monotrete Palembangensis may be ok to house with the Tetraodon suvattii, but when reading the Monotrete suvattii it states that it's Piscivore. Low degree of intraspecific aggression, however will attack other puffers and fish.

As far as keeping them together--I wouldn't.
