i was at my lfs today and i noticed that they recieved a new shippment of puffers. I havent seen this species before and i wanted to buy them. the name that was listed was gold head papau puffer but when i looked online i couldnt find any information about them. if you have any information or the name of these puffers that would be greatly appreciated. it looks like they are all a purplish pink with a yellow stripped running on the bottom of the belly of the puffer. here are some pictures if they help. thanks.

How big are they?
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi

A forum search will bring up several threads from the last weeks, months.
Use the key words: Erythroataenia, tribal .
