Hey peeps! Been awhile since I have been on the forums, but I thought I would share somthing interesting.... Videos of spotted puffers in the wild are rare from what I have found. In fact this is the only video of a spotted puffer in the wild that I have ever been able to find? If you guys know of others I would love to see them! Anyways im not sure which species this is? fluviatilis, nigroviridis, Sabahensis This video is from Singapore, also check out the Mono's in there as well!

It did look very unwell, very skinny and tail stiff.
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Re: Rare video of Green spotted in the wild!
As it was a vid shot in the wild it could be old age, however it could be disease. Tbh either way probably didnt live long past that vid being shot. This is sad but its nature

Looks like ICH or some king of fungus cuz that withe spots are really big.. ¿could it be?
Seems to be tired.. and by the size of the other fish he/she may be around 7" or 8".. ¿it´s that big for a sabahensis?

No problem 
Do remember that wild animals only live a fraction of the time in the wild that they do in captivity under good conditions.
Do remember that wild animals only live a fraction of the time in the wild that they do in captivity under good conditions.It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
