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
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
