Was sold as an "oscellated puffer".. also told that it is an "emerald puffer"
Although it doesn't exactly match the photo's in the pufferpedia, I thought I'd ask everyone else.. :)

Yeah.. we have 4 tanks with puffers 2 betta tanks and 2 breeder tanks at the moment :P

I'm not sure what they are.. they haven't swam very much so I haven't seen their tails fan out.. seems to be the only way I can tell the difference! So I thought I'd get some other opinions :)

I think they are tetraodon cutcutia

Here's some links where the pic looks a lot more accurate to my puffers :)
