This is my first puffer. What's some good tank mates or any? I have it in a 200 gallon tank.. It's about as big as a baseball. And do they like power heads or fast moving water?
 
Need more pics to be sure, but i am personally leaning towards it being a Monotrete turgidus / "Brown Puffer"...

Never personally kept one so cant really comment on how they are, but as with most puffers, tankmates are most likely not recommended / going to last long...
 
Topaz puffer

Do you mean Tetraodon fluviatilis? Since i'm almost sure its not that, consider they are brackish, plus doesn't seem to have the same markings...
 
^ maybe try waiting till your puffer settles down a bit and then try and get a clear pocture of his markings...

Coz the motion blur in the photo makes it kinda hard to see his markings clearly...
 
^ answered you in the other thread, and yeah, looks like it could very well be an Abei Puffer...
