Help Me Identify A Fish!

[Jimlad]

Hi all, I just wanted to ask a quick question about a type of fish I saw when I was younger. I don't know if my memory's distorted with time, but I remember it as a bright yellow tropical fish. It must have been tropical because it was in the tropical fish section of the pet store.

It was quite small, only a few cm in length tops, and was very round, almost like a ball. It had these small side fins it would flap loads to move about, almost like it was hovering like a bee. It didn't have any stripes or marks that I can remember, it was just bright yellow all over.

If anyone could help me to identify this fish, I'd really appreciate it. Any clues are welcome... I've been on the lookout for this fish for years!

it may of been a marine tank with a juvi puffer fish in the tank perhaps

?

Other options could include boxfish and cowfish, and I don't think balloon molly is a bad guess either.

I lean towards puffer because they hover and flick their fins alot more than a fish like a balloon molly

It sounds like a puffer to me as well. May be a little box or something.
