Hi there everyone. I have recently bought myself a trio of puffers.
These were labelled as Indian Puffers ? I have tried researching them online and too me the nearest thing they look like are Ceylon Puffers. I have kept tropical tanks for some time but theses lovely littles are brackish. Would live some help here.
Thanks
I have tried uploading a pic using the upload attachment option but it's saying 'invalid image '?

Hi welcome to the forum. Where bouts you from? Without a pic it's impossible to ID your puffers, did you resize the image to make it smaller?

I am using my HTC phone at the mo due to having moved and no broadband currently.. If anyone has an email address I could send it too then they could post it for me? Sorry to be a pain but whilst I'm restricted to using my phone I feel a ill useless. Unless I'm just trying to upload an image wrongly?

Look like figure 8 puffers to me, I could be wrong though. How big are they?

Those are t. fluviatilis. They lack the eyespots F8s have.
