Re: what kind is it?
The first two pictures look like lorteti to me but the last two pictures I'm not sure. These two species completely confuse me. Sorry I'm not much help.

The last two pictures are from breeding colors

Re: what kind is it?
They are beautiful.
I've never been able to remember how to tell the two species apart, but someone will be by soon that is able to (Corvus, MartinHi, etc).

mysifier is right
Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Give a fish a man, and he'll eat for weeks.

When I had a male one of those puffers he always looked like the bottom photo, black with a white belly, mine never had the red stripe down his belly though?!

Re: what kind is it?
Slugsy's colours were like that alot when Audrey was still in the tank, I took her out because she wasnt impressed by his advances lol! she was a bit young and still growing, she will be going back in in a few days, now the plants have grown a bit and there are more broken lines of sight. Fingers crossed I'm hoping for the same result!
