Puffer Fish

[Fella]

look at the top of the first picture. It has the zig zag lines of a fluviatilis across the top of the puffer.

hi lads if you look at Fishaholic posting he has 2 puffers on there that is exactly what mine look like so if you can i d them from his picture on his post then i will know what they are

As much as both of those fish images look totally different the water conditions are the same.

Agreed! Panchax are killifish if I'm not mistaken.

Yes but the point is that you are keeping them in freshwater, not brackish. At least PAH kept them correctly in brackish. 5 hours is not a long enough amount of time to tell if a fish is going to be ok in freshwater. That photo you provided of the puffer on the floor shows that chances are it is inactive, probably due to being in the wrong sort of water.
Im not great with puffers, but no matter what species they are, the others who have posted know their puffers (weather they can agree or not), and as all the species suggested are brackish, I would strongly recomend a new tank for them, or giving them back to the shop.

If you didn't want advice, you shouldn't have asked for it. Those fish are incompatible long term.

You should take their advice. It's about the fish not you. They will end up suffering and die in the conditions they are in.
