Is this a Fahaka?

Post by wetmartini »

I saw these guys during a recent visit to a LFS and am wondering if they are really Fahaka. I'm not planning on buying one but am primarily just curious since the ones I saw (same as the ones pictured in the store's website) don't look like any of the fahakas I've seen in other pictures. Here is a link to the store's site:

Their markings and colors change markedly when fairly small, mature colors develop slowly. It is quite interesting to watch, and they grow quite fast at that stage. Fahakas taught me to move puffers from their QT tank to their permanent home.
