Hello everyone,

My name is Wouter and i am from the Netherlands. Normaly i am on a dutch puffer fish forum. But now i have a question that you maybe know about a special type of puffer fish.

My question is: does anybody know the type/name of this rare pufferfish:

Thank you! But how is it possible that he lives in a fresh water tank? I didnt know that it was possible for a salt water fish to live in fresh water?

Fugu species are sometimes found visiting FW/BW but they will thrive in SW.
