Question

Hey, I bought "red eyed puffer at the local pet store. All of the informationm on line especially those accompanied by a picture lead me to believe he is no red eyed puffer. I have some pictures for u to analize that show both  puffers next to each other. one figure 8 and the ? .. You will see him because he's usually really dark and then out of no where he will turn nice golden tan. He does however havre the occasional happy green spot on his head. Confusing... Let me know, so I kno what I have on my hands. Thank you

Sincerely, joshua

Answer
Hi Joshua,
 Unfortunately I am not that familiar with puffers.  Keep in mind that many fish can change colors instantly and very, very dramatically.
