Green spotted puffer
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
A green spotted puffer may be one of several different species of fresh or brackish water pufferfish in the genus Tetraodon, including:
- Tetraodon fluviatilis, sometimes called the green, Ceylon, or topaz pufferfish[1]
- Tetraodon nigroviridis[1]
- Tetraodon sabahensis, sometimes called the Sabahensis puffer[2]
Distinguishing these species is difficult,[1] in part because each species is highly variable in colouration.[2] Scientists working on these pufferfish as genomic lab animals consider it impossible to identify these species 100% reliably using colouration alone,[3] and tropical fish retailers commonly confuse them.[3]
