If google is nice to me today, the King Kong puffers is a different name for Tetraodon palembangens. Also known as Dragon Puffer and Humpback puffer.

Completely freshwater puffer, gets up to 8 inches and requires at least a 30G all to himself. Predatory, like all puffer fish and should not be kept with any other type of fish

Was that the puffer you saw?
 
nope that was defo not the fish i saw although they did have some like that aswell,they have a huge range of puffer fish and must be selling them daily i just wonder how many ppl realise how tricky these fish can be to keep.
I've found the staff at the store are very young and not very clued up(or just to lazy)to give out decent advice.
1. I was told my tank would cycle itself in a week.
2. I was told i could mix the puffer fish and they were all fresh water.
3. I was told hagens cycle was very good and to start addding fish after a week.
4. I was told the higher wattage starters (for tube lighting)would start the tube quicker.
Thats about all i've asked them and dont think i will bother them for advice again lol, the problem is they stock alot of puffers which is what i'm intrested in.
I got to admit there is a few puffers in a bad way a large mbu puffer appx 6 inch has a very withdrawn stomach a real shame :( and some of the smaller puffers (just in) seem to be suffering from white spot.
Anyway i will find the mystery identity of the kae kong???
