leopard puffers

[isaac newton]

Hey i just saw some leopard puffers in petsmart today.. I didnt buy any since they where quite big!!! Are thoes as agressive as the GSP which many times they get mixed up?? Is it possable to put those in a community tank?

[MonoSebaelover]

They are the same puffer as the GSP. So no they are not community safe. Hope this helps.

No, it isnt the GSP.. I checked the scientific names.. This is specifically T. schoutedeni a freshwater puffer.. Has anyone had experenced with this puffer? It said on puffernet that it is a "peaceful puffer"?

Are you sure that's what it is? I've never seen or heard of one available. If this lfs isn't known for being able to get rare puffers, you can assume it's the GSP. The way to tell for sure is the visible spines on the schoutedeni 's belly.

Yeah, On the bottom where it states the common name of the fish it had the scientific name, it did state T. schoutedeni.. I asked the manager of the store and he said that it is a very rare shipment..
