But which kind of puffers?

Looks like Carinotetraodon travancoricus to me.

I really can't figure it out?!

But wouldn't have guessed on travancoricus, due to mine not being that yellow?

I am thinking that they're irrubesco or lorteti? But how the heck do I know the difference? :-/

Carinotetraodon lorteti / irrubesco

Tim is closer: ug.php/v/PufferPedia/Freshwater/C_Irrub ... 23f7660ddc

Can you tell me the difference ? Irrubesco / lorteti?

They are 4 puffers together, all very friendly and non aggressive. One is quite bigger than the three others.

Irrubesco females. Some in poor conditions. I would treat for IPs if they are eating normally.

Not so sure; ?

Not so sure perhaps a C. Salivator in there ?

Probably C. irrubesco. There's also at least one subudalt male among the females. It will develop its adult colors within the next few months. Then we'll be sure.

Yes, unfortunately they are in VERY bad condition
The store I just bought them from, had them in a very very tiny aquarium, which was also extremely dirty. They had them there for 6 months, they told me - and almost never cleaned it.

I will go buy some IP medication today - any recommondations on which type of medicine?

Which one do you think is a male? And what do you mean by "subudalt male" Corvus?

I am very happy that you take time to answer and help me - thanks

Sub-adult = juvenile.

e.g. last picture, the upper one.

Subadult is used for juveniles, which are about to develop into adults.
