Couple of Puffers

[darb]

I "borrowed" both of these off of the net:

I did not even know that T. palembangensis came in a red variation until I saw this photo on a Japanese website. I can only imagine how much it would sell for.



this was identified as a T. leirus. the colours are simply stunning!

Fantastic!

Do you think food has something to do with it?

[Nanda]

Wow! Great photo's Darb!

Thanks for posting!

[darb]

food and environment probably, the second one, I forgot to mention is from the wild. all we can ever do is try and match those conditions ...

[Nanda]

Indeed...
It's very special to find a puffer in the wild on picture or in a movie.
Altough they are less rare now a days.

Does the site where you found this one have any more picture's?

That is a fantastic link Darb! Thanks for sharing

Love all the drawings of the different puffer species

[Nanda]

Wow very nice site indeed!

Japanese do love puffers... They just have to learn to keep them in a better environment.
Thnx for sharing!
