Milly - Fangs Puffer

Post by L!$A »

Hey everyone, as you know I've recently gotten a fangs mislabelled as an F8. She is awesome!
We've named her Milly aka Mildred (formally known as Shellie .. Shellie really did not suit her) :) she has already eaten prawn, and she comes up to the glass when we walk into the room.


Here's some pics.. they aren't the best, she wasn't cooperating this morning :lol:
She is in a 26g cube tank, with black & tan 3M Colorquartz S-grade sand.

I'll try to get some better pics another time

I couldn't believe it either.. they look nothing alike!! We got her for $12.00 which was definitely a bargin!!
I've never seen turgidus puffers around here, so I was really happy to have found her :D

She's quite brown with blue spots, when she is lighter she looks a little bit green, maybe another ID?

Looks more Cochinchinensis to me in every shot apart from the first but without a nice hi-res shot when its not moving, its impossible to tell. The bluey spots would be more indicative of a Turgidus so it probably is, the lighting and substrate could be changinf its colour. Either way looks like a great buy.
