Arrowhead or Miurius?

Post by joeyg2100 »

Ok I have narrowed down my next puffer. I have decided I am either getting a Miurius or a Suvatti. I would like to here all your stories or your pros and cons of these two fish. What are the prices ranges of these fish where you live? Because I can get a Miurius for $60 and Arrowheads for $30. Any info will help me chose. From what I read these two are a lot alike. The only thing that I can see is that the Miurius has a lot more different color morphs. Thanks for all the help

I voted for the miurus because I have one & would feel guilty not voting for her. I love the bright red ones. I think though, if I had to choose between a brown miurus or a suvattii, I'd go with the suvattii. I love that long snout!
