Re: ID Needed
Yes they are.. Even more difficult when they are dead.. It could be a Tetraodon turigidus but then a very small one..
Do you have another picture darb?
He does have the target spot of a turigidus and a body shape of a cutcutia

Re: ID Needed
The photo above is one that I came across on Aquabid labelled as a "Black River Puffer" which as far as I know is typically a palembang. Is it dead, I though that it was alive.
Anyways reminded me of the fact that I am not 100% on my own version and thus here I am.
I am kind of torn also and reverted back to the position that it really doesn't matter because essentially the care is the same for both. But it has a tubular shaped body (apart from the current pot belly that I have allowed to develop), the nose seems different from many of the turgidus photos and I estimate that it is about 10 cm, maybe a little more.
Here is a couple of my actual fish, poor shots though:

Re: ID Needed
If the eye can fit twice (or more) into the length of the nose it's probably an Tetraodon leiurus. (if the puffer has spots on its belly).
If the eye doesn't fit twice than it's a Tetraodon turgidus.
A Tetraodon cutcutia will deffinatly not grow as big as 10 cm. The target spot of a turgidus can turn black as well when they are verry stressed.
So for the first picture i'd say (a living) stressed Tetraodon turgidus, and youre puffer Darb, i'd guess for either an Leirus or Turgidus, but because his (or her) nose is quite long i'm going for the leirus.

Re: ID Needed
Thanks for the information Anouk!
I think the puffer on the first picture is dead because of it's colour and his fins seems dry-out..
Could be wrong offcourse

Re: ID Needed
Lol which fins seemded dried out to you?
The tailfin (is that even a word?) looks normal ( a bit damaged possibly), and so do the other fins. (to me though )
The coulor, seems a bit stressed but the fish seems alive to me lol. The eyes are in too much light that's why there is a "screen"thingy on them, but normaly they would probably be red.
I do agree that it's a strange looking picture... it almost seems photoshopped (with the extremly blue background). If i had to guess than this picture was made in either a fishstore, or warehouse or something like that.
Maybe Pieuwy (frieda) can tell us more about the id, she knows very specific things about these pufferfish species.

That's correct darb.
Practically all Monotretes were changed in to Tetraodon.
