In all honesty, I expect to get a misidentified SAP puffer.

Contact Wesley Wong on Facebook, he's been supplying them for years.

Thank you for the suggestion. I got in contact with him and this is actually one of his fish he imported that I'm getting.

Cool! As far as I know, he's the only supplier of them.

Got one of these guys being shipped to me this week.From the few people I have been able to get in touch with that has kept them they never got to their maximum size of 10"-12". One guy maxed out at just under 9 inches and the other 7inches. Both had them for 5+ years.


So my plan atm is full fresh for 1-2 months and then acclimating him up to a low brackish point with the hopes of him being able to stay life long at that point. Any thoughts or anything to add?
