Hallo
I get form Cameroon 14 Puffers as Pustulatus and Dotlines. If i see them all together there is a big range from nearly fahaka to only spots but hard to divide....
what you think about this one ...???

It's not a fahaka. I have seen pustulatus with much more prominant lines, I would be tempted to call it one. I am not sure what constitutes a dotline.

That is what we call a Pustulaka. Mixed species of Fahaka & a Pustulatus, not a true Pustulatus:

Looks like the real deal to me, just a little stressed :)
My pustulatus took a while for its colour to stablise.
Any pics of the others?

Hallo
I will post more picture next days cause its very interesting to see the differents from lineatus to pustulatus..... ???
Any Expert in my place is invitet to discuss with me in personal the different in front of 14 pcs cause for me there is nearly lineatus to sure pustulatus without a diffrent no 1-14....... Its not my 1st time to import them but before i get only samle species not 14 pcs to decide the diffrent.

what makes it really hard is the defrence is regional. so if you get fish from between the 2 regions it could go either way. you ship to the u.s. ?

I would assume a fish being shipped that far would need special packaging, like being tranqulized?

Hallo
For this trip to Chicago nothing medicine needed. You will get the fish from my place in Germany via Frankfurt within 24 hours not like for Afrika !!!
No problem to send without any transquilizer.
I also will offer next days Polypterus sp. "logone" and teugelsi. Maybe combined shippment is interesting. Im sure few kilo more will not be lot more in charge.
I always send in Germany / EU for 24-36 hours shippment my fish.
