Red Billed Puffer

Recently picked up a "Red Billed Puffer" from my LFS. They didn't know the specific species name. Looks like C. irrubesco, but I was just wondering if "red billed puffer" was just a generic name for C. irrubesco, loreti etc or if it specific to one. I can try and post a pic, but none are coming out clearly. Thanks.

The common name for a C. irrubesco is Red Tailed Redeye Puffer. Just do your best to get a picture and we will do our best to ID it.

Tell us more about your setup. =]

Yeah I was just having trouble finding much that referenced a red billed puffer haha.
Its a 20 gal, relatively dense "planting." Tank mates are two freshwater bumblebee gobies.
First time keeping a puffer other than some dwarves.

Sounds awesome. You may have to remove the gobies, depending on your puffers temperment, and you're technically stocked with just the puffer.

Here is some quick info on them: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=28652

How did you cycle your aquarium?

Previously established tank with two DP's and the gobies, moved the DP's to their own tank.

Okay. You'll probably need to treat the puffer for internal parasites.

My guess is they misspelled, Belly.
