Just off the top of my head, I'm thinking irrubesco female --
but now I think maybe lorteti female. :)

Female irrubesco's don't have the red tail. Just the boys. You can see if you look through the pics in the PufferPedia.

I'm assuming it's an irrubesco. :)

Find out if that is a photo of the actual fish or just a stock photo.

The red eyes are all tricky to tell apart, and if that's not an actual photo, you really have no idea what they are going to send you.

I think it is a stock photo. Polish Puff beleives it is his elusive female loretti that he's trying to hunt down.

His best bet would be to ask for a picture of the actual fish then.

I'm headed to AU next Tuesday, I'll check around for some for him ;) Doubt it, but you never know. Of course, if I find any, they may come home with me!!!

hi,
the picture shows a female carinotetraodon borneensis. here in germany they are very rare to find. if they should also have males and if the pics are showing their real fish, i would buy them!

Is he still looking, since his male died?

Obviously, with the snow I didn't make it to Madison Polish, sorry about that. If they'd open earlier in the day, it would be a heck of a lot easier for me to get there and still make it to work on time!
