Help, what puffer is this?

Post by little03 »

Good morning, I received a few puffers, And I don't think there the ones I ordered. I have looked at a lot of links and photo's, I have a few idea's what they might be, But I would love some expert's to tell me. I have a feeling there going to need there own home each. I was told that they don't look like the ones I wanted because there still young. So taking that in to consideration, I don't want to guess on what they are,, I am a newbie. thanks!

They are certainly one of the target group. Hard to be certain but I would say T. cochinchinensis.(fangs)
What did you order?

i had asked them if they could get Carinotetraodon irrubesco, red-tail red eye puffer, and this is what they claim they are. I am not happy, theses are from a group WAY more aggresive then the ones i wanted. thanks for your help

They definately don't play well w/others, even each other. Whenever you order online, ask for a pic of the exact fish they will be sending you (I know, too late now...).
