been a slight delay as the person who owns him/her is working late but ill get him tomorrow its amazing the puffers only 3 minutes away from my house apparently the owner is a huge puffer fan and has kept some rare puffers inca 14" Pustulatus (see below) hes moving so has sold up. im extatic about this bornean. ill post some pics of him tomorrow and after a few weeks of monitering him like a hawk ill write a little article i suspect he will be similar to lorteti, irrubesco and salivator but we will see =)

im happy and sad happy that after the pie im extatic about getting another puffer but feel quite sad feels like cheating on a loved one... anyway here is his Pustulatus I CANNOT BELIEVE HE SOLD IT!!! if only i knew

A guy on here called Fella had some a few years back. We got them from BAS. I got Salivator and he got Borneensis. In temprament they were very similar Male chased the female constantly in a single pair, eventually they had to be seperated. Nice looking smalle puffers though.

In the 80s C. borneensis was imported more regularly. One guy apparently even bred them, but they were generally called C. lorteti. It became clearer later that they are two different species and that many C. lorteti of these days were C. borneensis.

ive certainly never seen any in the UK before although loretti are pretty common.
