I just bought this puffer fish from my lfs and label as mbu, but it just look more and more like fahaka by his personality and body shape. Is any one can tell?

Is he as tiny as he looks or are those pebbles really big? Does he have red eyes? What was he labeled as? My best guess would be one of the FW target species (cochinchinensis, turgidus or cutcutia) but as a juvie, it would be really had to pin it down exactly.

sorry for the blurry picture because it never lay in one area so is very hard to take photo for it. he is very tiny, maybe 1.5", label as mbu but he doesn't look like any of the puffer on your puffer ID. here is two more picture hope it help. thank you!

Do fahaka has line on their body? But he has spot on him but no line.
 
I'm going to have to say fahaka, only for the reason that I've kept both fahaka and Mbu species, and this closely resembles my juvie fahaka, which is about the same size as this :)

I do have pictures of it, just have to get my hardrive hooked up :)
