As soon as i learn how to send a pic of the lil guy i will send a few. Im putting him in my 100 gal with my hystrix stingray

If it is a fahaka...that's a terrible Idea. He will rip the eyes off your ray and also tear his disc to pieces. Does this puffer have maroon and yellow striped on the top half and then a yellow tail?

Fahaka puffer.

Does it look like this only smaller? This is my adult female Fahaka

Check google for Tetraodon lineatus. If that's your puffer, it not only can't live with a ray, it actually can't be tankmates to anything.

Here's a juvie fahaka:

Yep, yellow tail, from the Nile river in Africa.

No he looks nothing like that one but does have the yellow tail. I also noticed he has a shade of yellow o. His under belly
