Fangs Puffer?

Post by jnheinz »

Just a question..

I saw a puffer at a local fish store here they had labelled "Red-Eyed Twin Spot Puffer"

Noticeable features I saw were obviously red eyes.. He had a circle near his tail.. I believe it was black.

Is this a Fangs?

I don't believe it was Abei, I don't think the spot was red.

Almost definitely a target puffer of some sort, but I couldn't tell you which one. There is a lot of controversy over which is which lol. Maybe one of the other members can help you out more

yeah I have a Turgidus.. this guy slightly resembles him, so definitely a Target grp.. He had a big spot on his tail too... When I ran my finger on the glass, he came up, charged, and bit the glass :)

He's still at the local fish store.
