Green Puffer (Dichotomyctere fluviatilis)
The green puffer, also called the Ceylon puffer and formerly named Tetraodon fluviatilis, is a pufferfish from South and Southeast Asia: India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Borneo. It lives in slow rivers, estuaries, lakes and floodplains in fresh to slightly brackish water. FishBase records a maximum length of 17 cm. It has a yellow-green back with dark spots and a pale belly. This listing is not the green spotted puffer (D. nigroviridis), which we list separately.

I have a small group of long finned mountain minnows. So was delighted to be able to order ten of this variety to increase the genetics in my tank . The ones I recieved are healthy but it’s to early to give a verdict on wether they are of a long finned type since they are small currently.

100% success travel and "installation". Pleased with quality of purchase. The Siamese fighter a bit "shy" so have not yet seen him at his best yet but looking good. Happy customer. GG
