Oh no not another guess the puffer thread. Yeah we think its a T. sabahensis, Hilly is the best person to ask for care details. If memory serves correct the fish is a brackish species

I am in the process of writing something up but my time is limited at the moment.

Is he in fresh or brackish water at the moment.

Also do a search on here for Sabahensis that will give you about as much info that has been posted about them.

I'd start moving him up to brackish. He is quite large.

FRP, are you AquaticTreasure? If so, you have some great stock! The person I got my palembangensis (Justin) from says he got it from you and Justin is just wonderful. I know others that have purchased puffers from you as well and they speak very highly of your stock. Please let me know if you get anymore DPs in.

You're right Spoot, he's in way better condition than mine was. Food dont last long at all with them when they get into the groove.
