The Ceylon puffer is something of
a mystery, at least concerning its nomenclature. There is little
information available about its precise scientific name. Although
sometimes sold as Tetraodon bicellatus (figure eight), it is most
definitely a different looking fish. While it bears a remarkable
resemblance to T. bicellatus , its
dorsal pigmentation pattern is has a rather patchy pattern without the
8's trademark green border (without the figure 8). They are said
to have a gentle (as far as puffs go) disposition.
