New dragon puffer

[magpie]

I just saw one of these the other day at my LFS and he was so cool looking. Didn't move but was right at the front of the tank. The dark parts of the markings almost looked purple.

How's he eating? Any more pics?

As with most puffers, there is no way to tell the sex of this species of puffer...

Thanks guys! I haven't tried feeding him yet, letting him get used to the new tank. No idea on gender

Nice palembang... they are cool puffers as long as you dont mind pet rocks

hey quick question for ya, do I need to worry about keeping his teeth trimmed down? I've yes and no for this species. I. Currently feeding him worms, frozen krill, and frozen clams on the half shell.
