"Hi everyone,
I have just acquired a Congo Puffer fish, Ambush Fish,
King Kong, and Dragon Fish (this is the names for this one fish the technical name is Tetraodon Palembangensis, I believe has anyone got one, had one or know anything about this fish, it is very unusual and hard to find tank mates for - as tends to devour anything less than a shark or whale, especially if they have fancy trimmings??

Please will someone try to answer my plea for information someone said it is a rare fish, I have a photo if anyone lets me have their email address I can send it, no problem.

My thanks, in anticipation."

"Julia, please can you try posting this question on the forum? The comments thread here is supposed to be used for questions relating directly to the tank above, so you're unlikely to get a response here. We've got a lively forum community who should be able to answer your query quickly if you post it there, but it's not likely to be seen by many people tucked away here."
