fw puffer id?

Post by fatpuffer »

Not sure if the photo will work here: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTAyNFg1NzY=/ ... I/$_20.JPG

If not, please click here http://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-image.html? ... nFlag=true

Seller said its congo but I am not convinced. The photo is not great but I requested a cleared photo.

Thanks.

Monotrete cochinchinensis aka Fang's puffer in my opinion.
Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Give a fish a man, and he'll eat for weeks.

Yeah fangs seems like a better match... Turgidus doesn't have a big spot near the tail like that

Got the puff. No red I the eyespot and not much activity. More nocturnal. Reminds me more of my ol' turgidus.
