No picture, sorry.
Yesterday I saw some 2" very bright red/orange puffers at BAS, Bolton. They weren't labelled yet and the staff member I spoke to had no idea what they were. Amazing colour, really eye-popping. Any ideas what they are? |

Could be a Congo Puffer (Tetraodon miurus) thats fairly red/orange in colour. Freshwater not brakish This post has been edited by kewskills: Nov 2 2007, 11:37 AM |

Yep, the ones I saw do indeed look like they're T. miurus. Wow, I never realised they could be so stunningly red.
Thanks, kewskills. |
