Just sharing some pictures of my new suvattii. Have never ventured further than dwarf puffers. Will attempt to ween it onto pellets, currently feeding on ghost shrimp.
Mine seems a bit more spotty than the ones in Pufferpedia.

My Puffers: 1 GSP (Microfiche) RIP, 1 Monotrete Turgidus (Leon) in a 30gal. 1 Monotrete suvattii in a 40 gal FW. 120 gallon BW with 3 juvenile Dragon Gobies (so cool). 55 gal with a 2" GSP named Hank. 180 gallon being set up for a Fahaka in the next few months!
"Darwin swings...annnnnnd a miss. Boy Jim, Chuck's suffered at the plate tonight. He's 0 for 3 and I'm not sure he's recovered from that shoulder pull a few weeks ago. I'll bet the front office is re-thinking that contract."
Nice - my larger GSPs will eat Hikari sinking carnivore pellets - I think the strong smell gets them into it.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.
Thanks everyone! I really hope he'll take pellets soon. Don't like feeding live food all the time. By the way is 29 degrees celsius ok for him? Max temperature in my tank is about 30 on a sunny afternoon.
PS: After reading around i realize there's two types for arrowheads? Monotrete suvattii and Tetraodon suvattii. Any chance of an ID from my pictures?

They are the same species - they were identified as genus Tetradon for a long time, but later review, it was changed to Monotrete. I'm not sure why, if I remember right, something to do with uncovering earlier scientific literature describing the genus as Monotete earlier than it was called Tetradon.
