Waanders' Puffer (Tetraodon Waandersii)
Just looking for some information about these little guys... Google is seriously lacking information on them. All I could dig up were crappy sites that said things like when it was discovered and that it was freshwater... The obvious stuff. Half of the things I read were in Deutsch.
So yeah, help?

Re: Waanders' Puffer (Tetraodon Waandersii)
What country are you in? And you can find these?

I reside in Canada... And I'm guessing that every once in a while there'll be a chance to snag one up. I fell in love with them at first glance, so I hope they'll be available.

Re: Waanders' Puffer (Tetraodon Waandersii)
Likely not a real species. Was described by Bleeker in 1853 with apparently one specimen, that was damaged. Schäfer also believes this a a juvenile of T. oblongus.

There is a picture on google that claims to be the Waanders Puffer... Though I doubt it as there is no reliable information on the web.

Re: Waanders' Puffer (Tetraodon Waandersii)
Why? Why, when I did a Google image search for T. oblongus the first thing that came up was pictures of Tibellus oblongus, a spider? I @#$%& hate spiders!Corvus wrote:Likely not a real species.

Here comes the nightmares!

Re: Waanders' Puffer (Tetraodon Waandersii)
Maybe you should replace the spider by "Takifugu oblongus" to get puffer results.

Re: Waanders' Puffer (Tetraodon Waandersii)
I've already searched the Takifugu oblongus... Wonder if it's in the pet trade....

Isn't that the "fugu" most commonly eaten?

Re: Waanders' Puffer (Tetraodon Waandersii)
Yes it is... Hard to believe people would eat something so dangerous... Not to mention that it's puffer ;-;
I could never eat a puffer. Even if they weren't poisonous. They're such wonderful creatures....... I just couldn't..... Wouldn't....

Re: Waanders' Puffer (Tetraodon Waandersii)
The fugu eaten most often is the tiger puffer Takifugu pardalis.
Takifugu oblongus is very rarely eaten.
