Is that a freshwater puffer? :eek: It looks like the marine reticulated puffer, arothron reticularis, but if its kept with rays i dont think its marine?

Sigh. The recent wave of marine fish being sold in lfs is disconcerting.

seen it at c328 too. Its colors are beautiful and unique but sadly and assuringly, at its size, its suffering with the unsuitable waters its living in

Yup agreed. I recently saw a lot of dead mangrove jacks in Y618, they were taking it from the tanks. Hopefully they will realize not all marine fish can be sold as "converted" fw fish.
