The Puffer Forum

I can not find the name of this beauty, and i'm really in love with him! But in the 3 months that he is in the LFS he has grown a lot! From i think 5 cm to now i think 15cm+...

But, with no name i cant find any more infromation about him. Can anybody tell me what the name of this beauty is?

Thx!

dog face? maybe? (shrugs)

Definitely an Arothron (dogface), not sure which one though.

Oh my...

Beautiful.. looks like a "narrow lined puffer" but without the lines! That nice big tail...

Al my thoughts! A dogface... but not the Narrow lined puffer. This is to much black.. When he was smaller i thought that it was that one.. but he's not changing in color.. He is so beautiful.. every time i see him my mouth fell open

That's def one of the nicest looking dogface puffs I have seen. Love the tailfin coloration and the distinciton between his colors really pops out.

ya, he is really cool. I like the tailfin. Mine doesn't extend his very often. What kind of price is your LFS selling him for?

Do you have one like this one?

3 months ago he was €49.95, about 1.5 month ago he was 54.95 en now he was 79.95.. In that few months..

No idea what a normal price is for this kind of puffer..

My LFS just started dealing with certain kinds of puffers not sure if this is cheap but they have a fahaka for 29.99 and a spiney box fish for the same price. I wander if they will start to go up if there underpriced.

Arothron immaculatus

A small Fahaka is here about €15,-

And thx Corvus! That was what i need!

Not bad pricing. I got my Stars and Stripes puffer for $35 here in the states and they had a true dogface for $40 in the next tank. They figure the bigger it gets, the more they charge. I saw a full size S&S for $100 somewhere else.
No, i don't have one like this. I've never seen one either. I thought if it was maybe a hard to get item it might be expensive.

Wow, the dogface at the LFS here is $250 at about 6". It's riddled with ich too.

OMG, what store was that? Big al's usually has regular dogfaces at 4-5" for $49.99!
