My new puffer. *pics*

Post by ToyotaRKeener »

I found this little guy at my LFS labeled as an Arrowhead puffer. Obviously it isn't a Suvati. My best guess is that it is a T. Cochinchinensis. I knew it was a target puffer when I bought it. It is currently residing in a heated 20L. Bare bottom for now, until I get sand on Friday. This will eventually be outfitted with a twin tube light strip, and planted.

He already ate two pond snails.

What have some of you guys paid for your Tetraodon cochinchinensis?

NIce pics! and nice puffer!

Looks like an abei. The snout is a little long for a cochinchinensis.

Agree with Corvus on it being an Abei

I thought Abei too but I'm sure we will geta real dabete going as ID-ing the target puffers is a bit of mine field :lol: Lovely pickup though but I woud suggest a bigger tank than 20Litres if thats what you meant, it should be nearer 100Litres or 25G (US) I hope you can cylce the tank too and is your GSP in freshwater?

hi,
no debates this time! abei! :D
it is spelled a-be-i, like it is written. it is named after the japanese biologist mr.abe, so is only a latinized genitive of the name abe:abei
