Hi guys!
I got really into puffers lately, and i want to expand my collection. Which one of these four is more interesting in a long term?
Tetraodon cochinchinensis - T.Murius - T.Leirus or M.Turgidus?

I love the look of the upturned pouty mouth of the miurus. The others aren't really my cup of tea, as they pretty much sit in their cave all day. Pretty cute face though. Forget about ever finding a leirus anyway--haven't seen one available for years.

The leirus is actually on the stocklist of the store i went to, according to the pictures on google he's better looking than the other ones available. Yeah I like the miurus a lot too. But I guess he only fun to watch when is out to hunt?! I don't know which one to get! :S

Well, since you're in Sicily, you might find one out there. The Target puffers are very often mislabled though.

Yeah I read that they are mislabled but I thought that since the stocklist specifies cochinchinensis, Leirus and Turgidus they might be aware of differences between these species.
I'll see how much they would cost and I'll decide. All i know is that the miurus is 25 Euros but this is from another store where i have to pay 15 bucks more for the shipping.
So what you say? Should I try to get the leirus?

A couple of weeks ago I was surprise to find this puffer (pictures below). According to my researches It looks like a Monotrete Turgidus, can you guys confirm that? Thanks
