I believe its a Arothron reticularis, otherwise known as a Reticulated Puffer. You can find info on it in the pufferpedia under marine puffers.

but mine is freshwater fish.. Lol.. maybe i guess.. its been one month... It's not reticulated..

Could you try to post a pic?

okays~

That's the picture of the puffer in the top right corner of the page.?

yeah~ whats the name for that fish?

That's the species that was said above, reticulated. Marine, very large puffer.

The puffer in our logo image is owned by a member here actually.

it's reticulated and not marine.. coz i got one of this and live in freshwater...

Some juvies of marine species will occasionally "visit" FW but don't stay there for long & definately won't live long kept in FW permanently. Did you read the profile for this species?

Please let us know what your plans are for this saltwater fish. What size tank do you have for it? What size is the fish now?

Btw how to upload pic?

That's good enough, we can see it though the link.

Definately looks like a very unhappy reticulated to me (dark colors, clamped tail, big belly but the oversized eyes say its not growing properly).

I'd start getting that guy switched over to saltwater and start thinking about getting a HUGE tank for it. That or find it a new home ASAP.

Moving this to general discussion.

Actually should be in Marine Puffers.
