The Puffer Forum

What are these spots on these puffers? These are puffers that I caught in a nearby river. I'm slowly increasing the salinity from freshwater to brackish. But i'm not sure what these spots are and if salt can help treat them. Does anyone know?

Side question: Are these actually GSP? Or Saba puffer, since I live in borneo and both of these puffer are native here. Maybe someone can help ID them?

Puffer bites. Looks like GSPs but at that age, difficult to tell. Do they have the yellow spot on their head?

Oh dear, if its puffer bites/injury, i think salt can treat it. I'm not sure what yellow spot you are talking about but here are some extra pictures!

Yes, GSPs. They need to be in brackish water anyway. Use Marine salt.
