New on the forum and

[Florence]

Hi I am new to this forum, I have been following the forum for a while now in silence.

I have one puffer now, that is doing great. She is a Canthigaster margaritatus. She is in my 75 g. tank now. I am in the process to set up a Puffer friendly tank, but was wondering if I could have more than one puffer in that tank and which Canthigaster that could co-exit in the same 75g. tank?

She look like that, when I got her, but she is more healthy to look at to day, more clear in colour and more belly, that when I got her, I will take new pictures of her. Is it a Canthigaster margaritatus? That was what I bought her as.

Welcome to TPF! Thats a great looking fish you have there .

I believe this is rather a Canthigaster papua. Canthigaster margaritata (http://www.fishbase.gr/Photos/PicturesS ... s&TotRec=5) has a longer and more straight snout and usually less lines on its back.

Anyway the C. papua, C. solandri and C. papua may be something like subspecies or regional varieties.

Here's an adult C. papua: http://www.fishbase.gr/Photos/PicturesS ... at=species

Thank you all!

Corvus, I think you are right. Even I got the wroung name, I bought him as a Canthigaster margaritatus, but even I think you are right! Thanks.....
