Very cool puffer, although the distributor sent them to us as "Black River Puffer" which is Monotrete palambagensis, am I right in assuming that he is a turgidus or brown puffer and not a Palembang Puffer?
this is Lurch
thank you!

Monotrete turgidus :)
Just picked this guy up from my LFS about a month ago, and since then he has really started to come out of being secluded all the time and show some real personality

Very nice puffer well done! Looks like a turd (lol) to me having said that I am not sure 100% one of the other guys will give you a definate answer shortly.
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

I think your right in your ID of him being a Turgidus, Red Eyes and that Green Band across his forehead seem to match the puffer here:

Re: Monotrete turgidus :)
Wow your turgidus looks wonderful! Mine has spots at 2.5inch. Will the spots change when turning into adulthood or does all turgidus have different outer appearance?
Kind regards,
Terrance

Re: Monotrete turgidus :)
not sure if the spots disappear or not, mine is upwards of 3.5 inches or so, maybe closer to 4 including the tail and he still has tons of patterning.
