Tetraodon Barbatus in Uk

Post by English George »

I am aware of a number of T Barbatus which arrived in the UK today. Has anyone else heard of any coming in?

I will get a pic of all of them tomorrow if I can. They are big - 5-6 inches.

Right here's the pics, It'd be nice to get a positive ID. Also a little treat at the bottom.

Tetraodon leiurus
And the last is baileyi. IMO


The shape is not right for barbatus. The head should be a bit more elongated and similar to the baileyi.
