Post by bodicea »

Hi...just got this puffer from the LFS...they said it was a "pez globo", said it was fresh water...never heard of it...what do you all think?

He is rather long and narrow, not tear shaped like the GSP or F8...

Hope you can help...

Yep, very active puffer, does best in groups of 3 or more in a long footprint tank. Most commonly known for their dentistry issues. Be prepared to do your own teeth trimming.

They are fresh water also.
