Can You Id This Bright Red/orange Puffer?

[fatboy]

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

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.
