The Puffer Forum

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 would say right now when i saw them last they were about the same size of a small gsp. about 2 inches in length.

looks like T. Erythroataenia or however it's spelled...

EDIT:
try ug.php/v/PufferPedia/Brackish/T_Erythrotaenia/

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