Not much of a puffer expert but i would have to say ! Maybe a juvinile giant puffer.

mbu puffer, Tetraodon mbu. Gets to around 2 feet long.

[15:38:47] TipsyTulip: that is a brown puffer
[15:39:03] TipsyTulip: grows to be 6'' and will kill anything in the tank, nocturnal
[15:39:07] piranha450: freshwater?
[15:39:10] TipsyTulip: yup
[15:39:15] TipsyTulip: Tetraodon turgidus
[15:39:25] TipsyTulip: really boring puff
[15:39:28] piranha450: thanks, well, the guy who wanted it id'ed will be thankful
[15:39:44] TipsyTulip: you got it

if puffer-ology was a degree, she'd have one, so you can definitely take her word for it.

ive never even heard of a brown puffer before.... at least you can say you got something fairly unique. Up till now, the only freshwater puffers I've ever heard of being in the hobby are mbu, fahaka, and dwarfs.
