Is it a real Pustulatus

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?

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. ?

Do these ever come to the U.S. I wouldn't mind getting one

Do you have an extra $700 laying around?

 

[digger]

Wow and no

Looks like you'll just have to dream about one then...
