Please help ID these puFFers From my LFS

[zapantha]

just wondering what kind these are, they just got them in and labeled them as giant puFFers; lol I think they got them cause I called about ordering a Fahaka the other day which these deFinitely are not!

They look like they are very stressed out Ceylon puffers (Tetraodon fluviatilis), require high end brackish / marine conditions to survive...

Poor fishies, I saw the same kind on ebay the other day, I think maybe he just bought a whole bunch. They did say brackish water but then the guy went "that means they can go from fresh to salt". I was like no brackish wouldn't last very long in fresh. people...

Over here they are often mis-labled as South american puffers which are actually freshwater...

I guess the slight resemblance between them confuses people...

im actually surprised they are not killing each other, crazy to see multiples that size together

^ hard to say they arent though just looking at a photo?

But it could also be due to being stressed as hell that they cant be bothered...
