Figure 8 Puffer... Killing Machine!

[Fella]

I can confirm the above puffer is a ceylon rather than an F8. Tetraodon fluviatilis. Nmonks Method of identifying isn't fool-proof, but it's great advice 99% of the time.

And to back the id up further. Take a look at the belly of both puffers. The ceylon(fluviatilis) will be marked, blotchy, whereas the fig8 will be unmarked as can be clearly seen.

He only gets probably 3 a month because it takes ages for me to grow them! The packets I buy only really contain about 3-5 triops a time!! I know their not very nutritional but it's entertaining to watch I think and it's natural in that the food is live and kinda unpredictable so it's better than me just chucking bloodworm etc. into his tank

do you know you can triops eggs from netfysh netyfish or something like that (google it)
you get about 10-12 in a little pot i had loooads
