I can not find the name of this beauty, and i'm really in love with him! But in the 3 months that he is in the LFS he has grown a lot! From i think 5 cm to now i think 15cm+...

But, with no name i cant find any more infromation about him. Can anybody tell me what the name of this beauty is? :)

Thx!

Definitely an Arothron (dogface), not sure which one though.

ya, he is really cool. I like the tailfin. Mine doesn't extend his very often. What kind of price is your LFS selling him for?

My LFS just started dealing with certain kinds of puffers not sure if this is cheap but they have a fahaka for 29.99 and a spiney box fish for the same price. I wander if they will start to go up if there underpriced.

Not bad pricing. I got my Stars and Stripes puffer for $35 here in the states and they had a true dogface for $40 in the next tank. They figure the bigger it gets, the more they charge. I saw a full size S&S for $100 somewhere else.
No, i don't have one like this. I've never seen one either. I thought if it was maybe a hard to get item it might be expensive.

Wow, the dogface at the LFS here is $250 at about 6". It's riddled with ich too.
