I picked up a new dogface puffer today. He came in with the reg dogface puffers. But he was far from different. Dark brown/black top and birght orange/bright yellow bottom. Here are the two best pic's i could get of him since he's being stubern. He is in mint condition even though the one pic the tail look's messed up(it;s perfectly fine and in mint condition). Got any idea what kind this is?

What size is this puffer? The yellow usually intensifies as the puffer ages. This is a fairly common color morph of the male Arothron nigropunctatus. This species grows to about 10".

You are going to attempt to spawn Saltwater Puffers in captivity? Have you ever spawned any puffers in captivity? From what I understand, it's incredibely hard. The fry are super-sensative, and its hard to find the right type of live foods to feed them at different stages of life. Should be interesting, keep us updated!
