My Puffers: 4 SAPs and a fahaka puffer

not sure my saps are saps?

Post by dmill82 »

hi i bought 2 saps from my lfs.
but they are really big, about 5", i no they can get that big but mainly in the wild.
i remember on here ages ago reading about another puffer that got to 8" and looked like the saps.
but i cant find that on here anymore.
does any 1 no the name of this other puffer and what markings told them apart, im not sure if it was bw or fw but did see a picture and no theres 1 like the saps.
all help welcome, thank you

How about you post a pic? SAPs only grow to 3". The other is commonly known as the Parrot puffer, it's a SW fish. viewtopic.php?f=38&t=28848

Marilyna pleurosticta? how to tell them appart? they are quite similar (at least for my eye).
Let there be light, and lit up the days... Let there be puffers, and they swam around the world...
