These look like what my LPS is calling a "striped puffer". I think it should be mandatory to have the species labeled on the tank. If they do not know what species it is than they should not be selling it.
very good point, unfortunately it is an industry that is perpetuated by ignorance of the masses (consumers) and changes does not come quickly or easily.
Never gonna happen. LFS will also continue to sell tankbusters to folks with 10g tanks. I saw at least 10, 2" iridescent sharks FS at my LFS.

And there we go again
As long as we are not demanding and using scientific names ourselves, there won't be a change in the trade.
I, for example, do not know which exact species is meant without looking it up, since I am German...
