Re: Puffer from Mekong River
I went off topic you followed. I think posts were removed because of me. Don't worry hadla. They look like incredibly healthy puffers, I just wish I could pluck the puffer of my choice from the wild
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Re: Puffer from Mekong River
What are the methods of catching them and how did you catch them?
Kind regards,

Re: Puffer from Mekong River
I'd only expect hybrids in cases of slightly overlapping ranges. Otherwise two species would hardly have separated or the population would have mixed up again. I don't think that's the case in the Mekong, although hybrids of Monotrete ssp. have been reported from captive breeding, so technically it can be possible.
