Re: Puff Id-Better pics
Trust me, NOT a Palembang. I'm leaning toward Fang's puffer.

Re: Puff Id-Better pics
Fang's has a red spot near it's tail. I don't see that. I say turgidus.

Re: Puff Id-Better pics
My guess is also a turgidus. Its eye spot is not very distinct.

Re: Puff Id-Better pics
I agree 100%, Turgidus. That eye spot should show a little better once he settles in.

Re: Puff Id-Better pics
Yeah forgot about the red spot for the Fang's .... it was the colour that had me thinking that's what it was. One day I will get these target puffers right.

M. turgidus.
Young M. turgidus can have a red eyespot by the way (it will blend in with the other spots with time). M. cochinchinensis however can have differently colored spots (although red is the most comon), but their eyespot always stands out in terms of size and color (a real target) and does not blend in with the other spots.
I don't think the snout is long. I use the eye diameter as a reference to compare it with the snout. The snout of this fish is about 1.3 eye diameters, I'd call it short, personally.

Re: Puff Id-Better pics
Yes, I suppose the snout isn't that long, I was looking at that last photo but I think its the angle that makes it look that way. That and the big eyes, little guy has a lot of growing to do!

Re: Puff Id-Better pics
I think the second picture would fit nicely in the pufferpedia. In my opinion it's very typical compared to the original specimens the species was named for.
