ID please

[pufferian]

I got this fella today...
Can someone ID him?

[Hilly]

Looks like a Monotrete Turgidus

[Brent]

Turgidus was my first thought...

[Myaj]

One of the target species, so that means 30 gallons, freshwater, lurker species that will hide most of the time and come out to eat (likes shrimp, nightcrawlers, snails, etc).

I would also say Turgidus as well, but sometimes it can be hard to tell specifically which species when it comes to the target group. Luckily they all have the same basic requirements

[pufferian]

Got it! Turgidus it is. Thanks!

[Myaj]

Similar to L!$A's puffer, I'm not 100% sure it is turgidus between the dark spot and longer nose.. but the care is the same no matter which target species it is.

[Pufferpunk]

It doesn't look very happy.

[L!$A]

Mine looks a lot like this one, with the blueish spots, I wonder how their colours will develop as they get larger .. may be easier to tell which species

[Hilly]

Both the Turgidus and the Cochinchinensis both seem to have varying sizes of target spots which only adds to the confusion of identification. Could the size of these spots or the slight bluey coloration be a marker for diffence in sex of the Turgidus or is it just simply some develop slightly different markings and coloration to others. Just a rambling thought I had.

yea the puff doesn't look very happy either but it could be because its new ......... + no sand (substrate)

Hmm.. Good thought, I guess only time will tell.. hopefully as mine gets bigger we'll be able to have a more definite ID

My turgidus was a darker green colour.
