Sorry man, not anymore. Was promptly returned to the water because it was stressing hectically in the holding tank. Wouldn't have made it until we got it to a proper tank.

Found this picture, don't know if it'll be of much use.

The river where it came from had the salinity of of seawater (1.020) but a pH of just over 7.

Arothron immaculatus in stress coloration.
Sometimes travels into freshwater, but needs a marine tank for long term care.
