Ceylon puffers (T fluviatilis) are BW puffers that prefer high-end BW-SW as adults. They grow to 7-8".

actualy we have those in stock and definately not them.
the jades have a shorter more ballon shaped body heavy contrast between the white bottom and the light green top.The jade I have have the most iridesent blue green eyes I have ever seen.
I didnt notice it the Ceylon puffers had the eyes or not.
BTW If anyone needs a fakata puffer(sp?) we have a dosen at 3" for 24.99 I get a deal ;)

You mean fahaka puffers? How are they going to place a dozen puffers that will eventually need a 120g tank (grow to 18"), & no tankmates (very mean)? What a shame. Also check that none of them are skinny. These puffers are known for coming in w/internal parasites. I'd treat them all w/Discomed to be sure. How large of a tank are they in?

Oh we move fish they will be gone in 3 weekswe had 40 lost like 5 been in a month.
They are in a 40B feed as many glassworms as they will eat also many snails and live blackworms all foods soaked a garlic solution.
And they were nasty when they came in first we used clout then couple water changes and a treatment with dyacide.they are clean and getting fat:D
We sell like 10 full grown african puffers every year at $179
we sell so many big expencive fish.
I work the biggest retail/wholesaler I know of in the midwest.
We sell like 2 albino lung fish every year for like $699
but have had the $500 tigres cat fish for a while.
Seriously if your looking for anything rare hard to find let me know I must see 12 kinds of puffers every year.
