Hello!

I got my puffer a few months ago and was told that it was a "Black river puffer" or Tetraodon palembangensis. He, or she I really have no idea I just gave it a boy name, looked like the pictures back then but after trying to look into it further a lot of them have the humped back which I really am not seeing. I'm honestly thinking now maybe he is a "Tetraodon Turgidus" but then there are some pictures that don't really look like him. I'm honestly just confusing myself more lol so I thought I should probably try to ask people who know a lot more than I do.. Any help would be really appreciated.

Here is Leroy. :)
