Puffer Fish - Species Dilemma -

Post by veronica »

i recently bought two puffer fish which the store owner claimed that they are ' yellow puffer fish ' .However when i googled it, the pictures turned out to be totally different from my puffer fish.
Please help me identify.
You can find the picture@veronicateng.tumblr.com

It's hard to see from that angle, but my guess would be DPs (dwarf puffers).

Should be Dwarf Puffers. Some LFS here label them that way.
