I have identified my wild caught puffs as Tetractenos hamiltoni - previously I thought they were Takifugu oblongus. How could I make that mistake!? Anyone else own some T. hamiltoni? Post away!
Cheers,

It's obvious - they are definitely T. hamiltoni. I've looked into it and T. hamiltoni are like nothing else in the area. Go to the Australian Museum Fishes website and look at the pics of Tetractenos hamiltoni. There is a search engine on the site. I live in Australia, so that's how I know about the Australian Museum Fishes Department. Sorry, I don't know the exact URL. Just search for 'Australian Museum Fishes' on Google. It'll come up.
Cheers,

Very cute puffs! Their faces and spots remind me of little Mbus.

They're pretty cute, aren't they? They have a really good personality, but require overfiltration if you want to keep them.

'Tis how it is with all puffs!
