Borneo Puffer
Borneo Puffer
Does anyone know what a Borneo Puffer looks like? Do you know where I can find a picture? It is supposed to have a camo back, turquoise eyes, and a red belly. I was looking for a photo. Thanks.

Re: Borneo Puffer
No just know that it is uncommon, has a red belly, camo top and turquoise eyes. Was thinking about getting one from a shop, but I would like to see a picture first.
Re: Borneo Puffer
I believe that is it. Looks like the description the man at the aquarium shop gave me. He said it was a male. I might go ahead and get it. Cute little fellow for sure.
Re: Borneo Puffer
Thanks for your help. Knowing that scientific name helps out.

I don't believe any puffer has a red belly..... Corvus
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Re: Borneo Puffer
I was gonna say--good luck having a LFS properly ID these guys... many of us can't most of the time.

Re: Borneo Puffer
Tim's picture is C. borneensis (subadult male or female). Anry's and PP's are C. lorteti (both male). The males can have a red colored belly in the area of the ridge. Good luck to anyone discussing lorteti vs. borneensis or even borneensis gender.

Re: Borneo Puffer
Oh.
Male borneensis (IMO):

http://www.thepufferforum.com/ug/main.p ... alNumber=2
And as I look at the Anry's and PP's picture above again, I'd like to correct myself and am leaning to C. borneensis. Sorry. My bad.
Here's male lorteti:

And a nice comparison (although likely not intended by the picture composer):

Upper one: lorteti, lower one: borneensis IMO
