hi i bought 2 saps from my lfs.
but they are really big, about 5", i no they can get that big but mainly in the wild.
i remember on here ages ago reading about another puffer that got to 8" and looked like the saps.
but i cant find that on here anymore.
does any 1 no the name of this other puffer and what markings told them apart, im not sure if it was bw or fw but did see a picture and no theres 1 like the saps.
all help welcome, thank you

How about you post a pic? SAPs only grow to 3". The other is commonly known as the Parrot puffer, it's a SW fish. viewtopic.php?f=38&t=28848
