Tetraodon travancoricus/Carinotetraodon travancoricus?

Post by JakeJekel37 »

From the subject line, are these two the same but with improper classification or are they actually different species? As I'm trying to track down a place to purchase my DP from (the person I was going to buy from had a couple die and she doesn't know yet if it's due to aggression or from illness, so she's holding off on selling), I've seen DP references to both of these scientific names. Just want to make sure if I order from somewhere other than her, that I'm getting what I expect to get and not something else.

Thanks for any info.
